business case

The business case for a client investing in a third-party intervention includes: Observations:

Investment required:

 
  • Cost of abstractions

1. Provider's fees are always less than abstractions, & for large groups can be less than expenses.

2. It's self-serving to say that low fee providers are usually a false economy. True nonetheless - providers charge the fees they can command.

  • Third-party provider's Fees
  • Venue & other expenses

Return on that investment:

Spencer (2001) showed that emotional competence based interventions give eight times the ROI of traditional training.
  • Economic value of impact on attendees' performance
Improving sales competencies by one standard deviation increases sales by 123%-667%.
  • Percentage of attendees materially impacted
In our 2004 survey 90-98% of GKP programme attendees reported significant impact.
  • Sustainability of impact
In our 2004 and 2007 surveys GKP programme attendees reported our impact growing for at least two years & sustaining for at least three.

Balance of risk:

 
If we intervene:  
  • Financial benefit of intervention succeeding
Zest & emotional competence have been shown to improve long-term growth in shareholder value by 38% (RSA 1996), and business unit profits by 110%-390% or 2-8 times as much as intellect alone (Boyatzis 1999).
  • Cost if not
We guarantee results or our fees refunded.

This guarantee has never been called. We have a seven year, 100% record of delivering client objectives. If we can't fix it, we say so.

  • Relative probabilities of success/failure
If no intervention made:  
  • Probability & scale of financial costs
The probability is 100%, unless you can fix it internally.

The costs may be hard to quantify, but they're likely to be significant or you wouldn't be looking for solutions. And they'll be many times the cost of an intervention which we guarantee will deliver.
