The Four P's and How to Shine in Dark Times

The 4 P's: Perspective, Practices, Partnerships and Performance

In these uncertain days, when corporations are having to downsize and are looking for ways to maximize their human resources and preserve and enhance their core capabilities, every individual needs to know their strengths and how to best present these in order to offer the greatest value to their employers.

Through the conceptual framework of the "Four P’s," you can assess how you are measuring up and what changes are required to enhance your ability to be seen as a critical contributor by all stakeholders (customers, direct reports, boss, strategic partners).

The "Four P’s" model identifies the critical areas necessary to assess and execute on all transformational change. You will see that making change in any one of these areas will support change in the other three, giving you a clear path towards creating and sustaining yourself in the most positive light.
