FedEx Asia ‘Purple

Promise’ BluprintTM

The Bluprints Method™ defines your value drivers and aligns, engages and enables your people for success. The statistics that measure organizational alignment to your value drivers and differentiators are remarkably poor:

Brand: Only 41% of associates know what differentiates their brand or service (Gallup)

Culture: 94% of execs say a distinctive culture is critical; only 15% employees say culture is upheld (Deloitte)

Engagement: Only 30% to 35% are engaged and consistently contributing; 20% are actively disengaged, undermining others (Gallup)

This isn’t ‘fluff’ – it manifests as a significant and urgent profit leakage due to slippages in strategy execution, brand delivery, effectiveness, innovation and loyalty of customers and employees. The traditional management cascade clearly isn’t working. The Bluprints MethodTM solution? Simplify!

1. Integrate purpose, brand, culture and results in a simple, visual, strategic narrative

Beginning with the end in mind (represented by your logo to the right of the = sign at left), the Bluprints MethodTM brings your critical business drivers into focus in your language in a compelling, visual and measurable ‘formula for success’, tapping into employee driven continuous improvement on a regular cycle. On the left of the = sign, icons above the line represent factors that add value (do more of), those below detract from value (do less of) – co-created in the workplace. This gives people a clear line of sight on how to contribute, in a simple, memorable storyline of what you stand for – your unique, measurable, competitive blueprint. ROI: Your drivers will map action to business objectives and engagement theory to enable ROI estimating that will show how the process becomes self-funding in a reasonable timeframe.

Peter Yin, SVP FedEx Asia Pacific says of their BluPrintTM: "Finally, a simple and straightforward approach to: - aligning (or re-aligning) a large organization towards a singular goal, - getting all team members to provide input on how to achieve the goal, - highlighting work that should be done and also what shouldn't, - measuring progress along the path to that goal, and - creating a memorable hook to ensure that organizational change has legs. I have seen this work in real life, in my organization".

2. ‘Live it’ - Measure, Prioritize, Act, Recognize.

A regular scoring cycle establishes a performance rhythm:

All employees rate org performance against icons

They choose priorities to create ‘micro-formulae’

by demographic to drive action (as at right)

A peer recognition module reinforces behavior

Reporting offers internal benchmarking insights

3. Inculcate across the business:

Leadership brand

Employee experience

Communications

Strategic fit
