About the DRYVE System
Define Winning
Define Winning
You know what you want, but there is a disconnect between what you want and what is actually happening. Progress starts when you can clearly define what winning looks like organizationally, departmentally, and individually. Action follows Clarity. When people get clear about what winning looks like, the right action naturally follows. The DRYVE system helps people at all levels of the organization get crystal clear about what winning looks like and then helps them stay focused on meaningful action.
