STAGE 1
Values Void
No documented values. Good people, good work, and no through-line anyone else can predict the next decision from.
A PEOPLE OPTIMIZATION SYSTEM™ COURSE
Values Optimization Implementation Course
Twelve months from your start date, you will have finished building.
Twenty-nine recorded lessons that walk your organization through the five stages of the Values Optimization Implementation Guide. Cindy teaches, Wes testifies, and every lesson ends with one thing to go and do.
Founding price: use code FOUNDING100 at checkout for $100 off, through January 31.
Most organizations have values. Very few use them.
The words are on the website and in the handbook. Ask when one of them last changed a hiring call, a performance conversation or a hard decision, and the room goes quiet. That isn't a character flaw. Nobody ever showed the organization how to build values into the way it actually runs.
This course does that, one stage at a time, at the pace a real organization can carry while it keeps doing its work.
Five stages. One lesson set for each.
Values is one of five pillars in the People Optimization System™: Direction, Values, Leadership, Growth and Experience. The course follows the Values Optimization Implementation Guide stage by stage. Start where your organization is, not where you wish it were.
STAGE 2
Stated Values
The values are written down. They rarely show up where decisions get made.
STAGE 3
Values Avoidance
The values get referenced, and leaders still hesitate to hold anyone to them, especially their best performers.
STAGE 4
Values Disconnect
What the organization says outside and what its people know inside are two different things.
STAGE 5
Values in Motion
Hiring filters for them, reviews weigh them, hard calls run through them, and people own the work without you.
How the course works
1
Cindy teaches
Each lesson runs about 15 to 20 minutes. Cindy carries the instruction. Wes brings the stories: real organizations where values worked, and where they didn't.
2
You do one thing
Every lesson ends with a single assignment, and every lesson carries its own printables from the Guide, labeled with the same code you'll see on the page.
3
A Stage Check closes each stage
Before you move on, a short Stage Check tells you whether the stage is actually done, or only feels done.
Built for a twelve-month implementation. The lessons take an afternoon or two to watch. The work they set up takes a year, and then it ends.

Questions leaders ask
Do I need the book?
No. The complete Implementation Guide is in the course as a flipbook. If you'd like a paperback to write in, it's on Amazon, but the course doesn't require it.
If I have the Guide, what does the course add?
The Guide stands on its own, and nothing in it is held back for the course. What the lessons add is the medium: Cindy walking you through it, Wes's stories, and a clear next step at the end of each lesson.
Where should we start?
Where your organization actually is. A free assessment will tell you.

How long do I have access?
For as long as the course is offered.
Does it carry SHRM or HRCI credit?
No. This course is built for implementation rather than certification credit.
