The Navigator Institute


      Our Mission is to bring all aspects of an organization into
           alignment, for noble purpose and business results.




       The Navigator Institute identifies, trains, and develops the
  natural "change-makers" in any organization. These people form
effective core planning and implementation groups, and become the
   "right people" to create cultural change and successful projects.




“I thought you would appreciate some great feedback. You may recall our target of £100m in
profit in three years, and you may even remember how some of the Team thought I was on
drugs and this was mission impossible! Well, the good news is I am pleased to say we hit it a
year earlier than expected, which is fantastic news, and I would like to thank you for your
positive contribution and involvement in achieving this.”

   from the Chief Executive of an International Communications and Mobile Phone Company
TEN SUCCESS STORIES
1. Over 13 months, the Enterprise Technology division of a Global IT company
   reduced 1500 disparate products across five countries into one coherent
   product, with great harmony in the face of a corporate culture that had been
   divisive and segmented.

2. The Canadian Division of a global food manufacturer saved 28 million dollars
   in eight months, and prevented the closing of several plants, despite their
   high cost of production in an underutilized manufacturing system.

3. A British global consumer goods plant doubled machine efficiencies, thought
   to be impossible, and created a culture in which nearly everyone was
   enthusiastic.

4. Two international shipping lines merged with savings of approximately 18
   million dollars from combining sales forces and customer services, making
   use of one computer system, and combining ship management under one
   directorate.

5. A Canadian national building products company integrated several faltering
   companies into one, with a positive culture and profitable operations in less
   than three years.

6. A top UK diesel engine maker created a committed and bold business plan in
   a new US Division, in only three weeks. Typical time for such an
   accomplishment between similar company groups was eight months.

7. A US-UK car manufacturer dramatically improved quality ratings on a very
   successful vehicle in a four-week period, while still meeting its schedule for
   introduction into a new market.

8. An automotive engineering organization reported a 20% improvement in
   revenues and a dramatic improvement in their efficiency of utilizing test
   beds. Their previous best was a 5% growth rate.

9. A US Air Force Base, over six months, reorganized a 20,000-person human
   resource system with previously unheard-of grass roots support.

10. During a six-month program of training and coaching, a group of sales
   consultants in the wireless communications industry brought about an extra
   17 million dollars in sales, created an extraordinarily effective team culture,
   and reported surprising personal and professional growth.
Navigating From the Future:
               The Quantum Results Program
               A one-year program, designed & delivered
               inside a company’s strategy & objectives.


                    This program is special in four ways:

1. It is tied to achieving specific business results that are out of reach by today’s
   standards.

2. It is based on intended results; the program focuses on leadership competencies
   that are most needed at the time.

3. The program is integrated with professional executive coaching.

3. Typically, the return on the program has ranged from 10 to 100 times its cost.




               This program is founded on three principles:

1. Noble Purpose and Business Purpose in tandem empower people to be all they
   can be and do all they can do.

2. Companies with the most energy in focus prevail.

3. Tying program effectiveness to business results that are out of reach by today’s
   standards is the best way to embed necessary leadership skills and behaviors.
Our promises for the one-year Quantum Results Program:

1. This program will return a minimum of ten times its cost.

2. Individuals and teams will achieve quantum results, even if they do not appear
   possible at the outset.

3. Participants will begin a sustainable and committed process of personal
   leadership development.

4. The framework and heartbeat of the program will be the results to which
   managers have committed.

5. Participants will leave sessions with enthusiasm, energy and increased
   confidence for the challenges they face individually and together.

6. Participants will learn how to reliably turn problems into breakthroughs.

7. Participants will learn to operate from an exceptional level of commitment and
   resourcefulness.

8. Participants will learn to manage effective, committed-based conversations.

9. Individuals will greatly improve their ability to enlist others in their projects.


                          An Overview of Our Process

The Quantum Results Program is focused on the pursuit and achievement
   of mission-critical objectives. The program experience is rigorous, highly
                          interactive, thoughtful and fun.


1. Four 3-day offsite sessions are spread over 10-12 months, for a maximum of 25
   participants.

2. Each participant will write and present a detailed “Quantum Project Mandate”
   prior to the first session which must be accepted by the course leaders and
   company leaders.

3. The first 3-day session is a combination of education in Navigating from the
   Future practices and a thorough reformulation of each participant’s individual
   “Mandated Quantum Project.”

4. The subsequent three 3-day sessions are work-based and consist of coaching
   and training aimed at:
          Keeping the Quantum Results moving forward.
    Keeping each participant going beyond their own limits as a leader and
           in their own sense of themselves.
          Extending and improving the enrollment of others in action that
           forwards the projects.
          Surfacing obstacles and dilemmas, coming to understand their root
           causes, and generating action to stimulate extraordinary improvement.
          Reformulation of the projects and team activity consistent with absolute
           adherence to Commitment to the Quantum Result.
          Using all of the above as grist for the mill of leadership and personal
           development for every participant.

5. Periodic personal coaching contacts are scheduled between each participant and
   program staff between sessions.

6. Assigned readings, case studies, and focused tasks are completed between
   sessions.



                  Necessary Conditions for Success of the
                        Quantum Results Program:


         Consistent focus on outcomes and results from the program staff,
          participants, and company leadership.

         Full support and appropriate involvement from relevant senior
          management.

         Intensive “breakthrough” coaching of selected participants between
          sessions.

         A constant focus on specified results, clear identification of key
          performance metrics, and a commitment to resolve the inevitable
          problems that arise when a Quantum Result is targeted.

         Limit of 25 participants.

         Mandated Quantum Result Projects can be proposed for six months, or up
          to two years, so long as they are consistent with the results that have
          been committed during the course of the program.

         Each person needs to participate voluntarily rather than be told they must
          attend.

         Formal sessions are to be held offsite in pleasant circumstances, isolated
          from everyday operations.

The Quantum Results Program

  • 1. The Navigator Institute Our Mission is to bring all aspects of an organization into alignment, for noble purpose and business results. The Navigator Institute identifies, trains, and develops the natural "change-makers" in any organization. These people form effective core planning and implementation groups, and become the "right people" to create cultural change and successful projects. “I thought you would appreciate some great feedback. You may recall our target of £100m in profit in three years, and you may even remember how some of the Team thought I was on drugs and this was mission impossible! Well, the good news is I am pleased to say we hit it a year earlier than expected, which is fantastic news, and I would like to thank you for your positive contribution and involvement in achieving this.” from the Chief Executive of an International Communications and Mobile Phone Company
  • 2. TEN SUCCESS STORIES 1. Over 13 months, the Enterprise Technology division of a Global IT company reduced 1500 disparate products across five countries into one coherent product, with great harmony in the face of a corporate culture that had been divisive and segmented. 2. The Canadian Division of a global food manufacturer saved 28 million dollars in eight months, and prevented the closing of several plants, despite their high cost of production in an underutilized manufacturing system. 3. A British global consumer goods plant doubled machine efficiencies, thought to be impossible, and created a culture in which nearly everyone was enthusiastic. 4. Two international shipping lines merged with savings of approximately 18 million dollars from combining sales forces and customer services, making use of one computer system, and combining ship management under one directorate. 5. A Canadian national building products company integrated several faltering companies into one, with a positive culture and profitable operations in less than three years. 6. A top UK diesel engine maker created a committed and bold business plan in a new US Division, in only three weeks. Typical time for such an accomplishment between similar company groups was eight months. 7. A US-UK car manufacturer dramatically improved quality ratings on a very successful vehicle in a four-week period, while still meeting its schedule for introduction into a new market. 8. An automotive engineering organization reported a 20% improvement in revenues and a dramatic improvement in their efficiency of utilizing test beds. Their previous best was a 5% growth rate. 9. A US Air Force Base, over six months, reorganized a 20,000-person human resource system with previously unheard-of grass roots support. 10. During a six-month program of training and coaching, a group of sales consultants in the wireless communications industry brought about an extra 17 million dollars in sales, created an extraordinarily effective team culture, and reported surprising personal and professional growth.
  • 3. Navigating From the Future: The Quantum Results Program A one-year program, designed & delivered inside a company’s strategy & objectives. This program is special in four ways: 1. It is tied to achieving specific business results that are out of reach by today’s standards. 2. It is based on intended results; the program focuses on leadership competencies that are most needed at the time. 3. The program is integrated with professional executive coaching. 3. Typically, the return on the program has ranged from 10 to 100 times its cost. This program is founded on three principles: 1. Noble Purpose and Business Purpose in tandem empower people to be all they can be and do all they can do. 2. Companies with the most energy in focus prevail. 3. Tying program effectiveness to business results that are out of reach by today’s standards is the best way to embed necessary leadership skills and behaviors.
  • 4. Our promises for the one-year Quantum Results Program: 1. This program will return a minimum of ten times its cost. 2. Individuals and teams will achieve quantum results, even if they do not appear possible at the outset. 3. Participants will begin a sustainable and committed process of personal leadership development. 4. The framework and heartbeat of the program will be the results to which managers have committed. 5. Participants will leave sessions with enthusiasm, energy and increased confidence for the challenges they face individually and together. 6. Participants will learn how to reliably turn problems into breakthroughs. 7. Participants will learn to operate from an exceptional level of commitment and resourcefulness. 8. Participants will learn to manage effective, committed-based conversations. 9. Individuals will greatly improve their ability to enlist others in their projects. An Overview of Our Process The Quantum Results Program is focused on the pursuit and achievement of mission-critical objectives. The program experience is rigorous, highly interactive, thoughtful and fun. 1. Four 3-day offsite sessions are spread over 10-12 months, for a maximum of 25 participants. 2. Each participant will write and present a detailed “Quantum Project Mandate” prior to the first session which must be accepted by the course leaders and company leaders. 3. The first 3-day session is a combination of education in Navigating from the Future practices and a thorough reformulation of each participant’s individual “Mandated Quantum Project.” 4. The subsequent three 3-day sessions are work-based and consist of coaching and training aimed at:  Keeping the Quantum Results moving forward.
  • 5. Keeping each participant going beyond their own limits as a leader and in their own sense of themselves.  Extending and improving the enrollment of others in action that forwards the projects.  Surfacing obstacles and dilemmas, coming to understand their root causes, and generating action to stimulate extraordinary improvement.  Reformulation of the projects and team activity consistent with absolute adherence to Commitment to the Quantum Result.  Using all of the above as grist for the mill of leadership and personal development for every participant. 5. Periodic personal coaching contacts are scheduled between each participant and program staff between sessions. 6. Assigned readings, case studies, and focused tasks are completed between sessions. Necessary Conditions for Success of the Quantum Results Program:  Consistent focus on outcomes and results from the program staff, participants, and company leadership.  Full support and appropriate involvement from relevant senior management.  Intensive “breakthrough” coaching of selected participants between sessions.  A constant focus on specified results, clear identification of key performance metrics, and a commitment to resolve the inevitable problems that arise when a Quantum Result is targeted.  Limit of 25 participants.  Mandated Quantum Result Projects can be proposed for six months, or up to two years, so long as they are consistent with the results that have been committed during the course of the program.  Each person needs to participate voluntarily rather than be told they must attend.  Formal sessions are to be held offsite in pleasant circumstances, isolated from everyday operations.
