Case Studies

When Your Safety & Security are at Risk

A major US airport was concerned that its emergency response plans and protocols were insufficient to meet evolving threats.

Using realistic scenarios derived from the latest intelligence, we created a three-tiered Simulation Experience to include:

LeadSimm Leadership Impact Simulations
A Functional (CPX type) Simulation
A live in-field Simulation Exercise

As a result of the simulation exercises, the benefits incurred included:

A Complete Revision to all Emergency Response Protocols and Plans
Prioritization of Responding Organizations To Significant Safety and Security Events.
Complete Rework of the Interoperability Protocols Among Three Emergency Response Command Centers

When Your Identity & Finances are Threatened

Identity theft continues to be one of the fastest-growing crimes in America. Federal authorities, consumers, and financial organizations were concerned with deterring and mitigating the effects of identity crime.

Two separate strategic thinking sessions identified the gaps in plans, policies, and protocols associated with identity crime producing new practices listed in:

National Strategy To Combat Identity Theft
A Call for Action: Report from the National Consumers League Anti-Phishing Retreat

Additionally, Windows PCs received an update to standard shipping practices, including turning the firewall on before shipment.

About

I understand your predicament!

At LeadSimm LLC, I know that you want to be an influential and impactful leader. To do that, you need training and consulting that prepares leaders to take action in an ever-changing VUCA World (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) that is amid a transformational shift in the relationship between the skilled talent pool and the entity we call the organization. Regardless of the profit motive, the Talent Wars Are Over, and the Talent Won!

Fueled by the halving of the birth rates over the last 70 years, the intrinsic motivation to work for more than just a paycheck, and the retirement of older workers because of the pandemic, organizations are now coming to grips with the reality that the future limiting factor for growth is talent, pure and simple. In fact, we now live in a seller’s market, and the talent is the seller, so much so that they are dictating the terms under which they will hire on and stay.

To that end, attracting, hiring, engaging, and especially retaining top talent has become a crucial challenge for most organizations. Without the ability to do so, operations, such as providing a service or creating a product, will grind to a halt.

But it doesn’t end there.

In addition, the headlong dive into the ethical dilemmas posed by the wide-scale adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) across sectors, amplified by those who desire hybrid work opportunities, is resetting the tumblers of age-old hiring methods. Yet one thing is now sure: new models and ideas of leadership are required. Yet nothing has changed for all the strained voices demanding these new ideas.

Nothing!

Mired in the myopic views of leadership as reactive, a set of enumerable traits, a generous helping of charisma, or the instincts of a chameleon to change styles at a moment's notice, leaders fail to recognize the wants and needs of a modern workforce where five generations are engaged together, mutual trust is transcendent, and freedom and liberty drive generational shifts. Moreover, the other side of the leadership equation, where practices and actions determine the worth of any leadership concept, is rarely invoked or discussed.

These factors combine to make leaders feel overwhelmed, ill-equipped, and seemingly caught in the shifting sands of the talent acquisition and retention storm. Moreover, the ever-present issue of burnout looms large over the talent already on board, with the remedy often left to the individual's discretion.

Because I am committed to the idea that if you know and take care of your people, your people will take care of you, I have worked for over 30 years to help organizations create foresight and solutions to intractable problems before they happen. My efforts include creating the Throttle Up Accelerated Leadership Learning System, the TSWG Strategic Thinking Method, and the LeadSimm Leadership Impact Simulation. My collaborative leadership model, a result of 30 years of research and training, is founded on a single foundation, Contribution, offering those who would be part of the solution the ability to become involved in the decision-making processes of their organization.

So stop being overwhelmed by the hiring, retention and burnout issues present in today's workplace and create a 21st century action-oriented leadership dynamic that aligns values for both the employee and employer, involves the employees in the organization's decision making opportunities and delivers training and learning that promotes the employees growth so that everyone can move forward and live more productive, properous and meaingful lives.
