FranklinCovey (NYSE: FC), one of the largest and most trusted leadership companies in the world, announced today it has made significant enhancements to The 4 Disciplines of Execution®(4DX®) System and The 4DX® Platform, an online tool, and mobile app.
Paul Walker, FranklinCovey CEO, said, “We made these enhancements to The 4DX System and The 4DX Platform to ensure the framework, tools and measurement resources create the breakthrough results our clients are seeking. The foundational principles of this System allow leaders’ organization to effectively deal with and solve their biggest challenge, which is executing strategy that requires a change of human behavior at scale.”
Worldwide, organizations spend over $31 billion on strategy creation, and more than 80 percent of those strategies fail to produce expected results. What has been missing is a proven system for consistently executing on strategy through people. For over 20 years, the FranklinCovey Execution Practice has studied why execution fails, what can be done to fix it, and what it takes to set, track, and achieve breakthrough results around key strategic targets. They have worked with more than 140,000 teams in over 4,000 client implementations and have a proven track record of case-worthy results in every kind of industry worldwide, in business, government, and education.
The 4DX System and 4DX Platform are based on the #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller, The 4 Disciplines of Execution: Achieving Your Wildly Important Goals®, authored by Chris McChesney, Sean Covey, Jim Huling, with Beverly Walker, and Scott Thele. It outlines a proven process for helping organizations turn sporadic performance into a system of consistent predictable results. Enhancements to the System and Platform include:
The 4DX System is applied at two levels: leaders of leaders, and frontline teams. Based on The 4 Disciplines principles, senior leaders conduct four actions with their team leaders to scale impact and results:
Leaders of Leaders:
The 4 Disciplines of Execution focuses on leaders and managers getting people and teams to align their efforts in doing the right things at the right times–the Wildly Important Goals®, initiatives, projects, and tasks that are most critical to the organization. By changing the way team members on frontline teams engage with each other to achieve goals, managers can dramatically improve the impact of their team’s performance.
Frontline Teams:
“When teams across the organization begin to see a breakthrough result move as a direct result of their efforts, they know that they are winning. And we have found that nothing drives the morale and engagement of a team more than winning,” said Chris McChesney, co-author of The 4 Disciplines of Execution.
Included in the System is The 4DX Platform, an online tool and app that support the methodology by tracking commitments and goal achievement, providing a cadence of accountability to both individuals and organizations, and ensuring overall success.
Mark Josie, FranklinCovey Vice President of Business Outcomes, said, “Executing strategic goals is the greatest challenge in business today, as aligning an organization with its most important objectives is a never-ending battle. Eighty-five percent of executives don’t have or are dissatisfied with tools around creating visibility and transparency on executing their strategy on a breakthrough result. We specifically designed our 4DX Platform and App to interface with the 4DX process, so they seamlessly work together to support and drive the achievement of our clients’ most important goals.”
Benefits of the 4DX Platform and App include:
The Platform and App allow leaders to easily isolate the key variables in the execution process that are off-track, so they can coach team members on closing the key gaps. Leaders drive results by applying The 4 Disciplines with their teams, and the platform ensures they will be able to maintain this discipline over time. It provides a simple way to run the process and reload again for new goals and measures.
The 4DX System is the key to organizations moving from simply reaching a few goals to dramatically changing their impact in the marketplace. For more information about The 4DX System and The 4DX Platform or App, call 1-888-868-1776.
