Why are we here today 1 2 3 4 5 The pressure to stay compe--ve is going up the number of companies failing to maintain performance over -me is increasing drama-cally The common thread to those who con-nue to thrive? They run their organiza-ons bemer Unfortunately, most leaders fail in their amempts to change/improve how they run the place (about 70% fail) A big part of running your company bemer is understanding its organiza-onal health amributes (both results and behaviors) It s impossible to be best- in- class across all health amributes
The big idea: Performance and Health Performance Health What an enterprise does to improve how it buys raw materials, makes them into products, and sells them into the market to drive financial and operational results How an organization aligns itself, executes with excellence, and renews itself to sustainably achieve performance aspirations

To understand which recipe is best for your organization, consider how you would prefer to spend an incremental hour Ensure future leaders are gekng the coaching/appren-ceship opportuni-es they need Structure projects/tasks to build specific leadership skills Priori-ze the next big projects for R&D Talk to their customers and find out what the trends are Set up a working team to iden-fy quick wins to drive efficiency improvements Ask those working the front- line, "what have you discovered and shared with your colleagues lately?"

Common pitfalls and myths regarding recipes!!!! Interpre<ng recipes only based on connota<ons associated with their names We should follow the industry recipe We already have a top quar<le health score, so why should we bother with recipes? Priori<zing recipe prac<ces before fixing broken outcomes and prac<ces Once we determine our recipe, we have to s<ck with it Leadership is not only important for the Leadership Driven recipe Not necessarily. Example: Execution Edge is a dominant recipe in insurance; yet, GEICO was able to steal market share by differentiating itself with Market Focus Alignment bolsters your compe--ve advantage. Even within the top quar-le, top decile companies have 20% higher average TRS than their top quar-le peers If a company has more than 1 broken outcome or 3 broken prac-ces, they are unlikely to be healthy even if they align to a Recipe. Broken prac-ces must be addressed Depending on the stage of a company, it may mature into a different Recipe!
Aligning top recipe practices with your company s top 10 can dramatically improve organizational health Probability of Top Quar<le Health 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% Having at least 8 of the top 10 recipe practices yields >70%+ likelihood of being top quartile in overall health ` 0% 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Number of top 10 recipe Prac-ces in company s McKinsey top & Company, 10 ranks 2015
Overall alignment to an archetype plays an important role in achieving organizational health Overall health score by archetype similarity score 1 Health score 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0-0.2 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1 Archetype similarity score 2 1 r2=0.2119 2 The archetype similarity score is a transformed correla-on between an organiza-on's standardized prac-ce scores and the average standardized prac-ce scores of organiza-ons within the archetype cluster
