Rockefeller Habits

If your company is just beginning to feel the need for a strategic plan, Rockefeller Habits is a solution you should consider. Whether your objective is expanding your business, or finding time to more fully enjoy your success, Rockefeller Habits can help get you there.

Based on an integrated set of strategic, best-practice tools, Rockefeller Habits leads you through a series of easy-to-implement steps. You might call it a roadmap for getting exactly what you want from your business.

Rockefeller Habits has been refined over three decades of application with small and mid-size firms. It incorporates the best current knowledge from the most respected minds in the field. Mastering it has never been easier. Working with its creator, Verne Harnish, Catalyst Connection has developed a simple two-phase process for teaching its principles to you and your executive team.

Phase I: Learning the habits

In a two-day session, our Rockefeller Habits coach will lead you and your team through a series of habit-forming exercises that will first establish and clarify your strategic goals, and then focus your company on reaching them. You’ll learn how to manage four key areas that are critical to the success of every business:

  • People: Getting great people, keeping them, and helping them grow.
  • Strategy: Creating a strategy for increasing revenue.
  • Execution: Effectively carrying out tactics for increased profits.
  • Cash: Increasing cash flow so your company can “breathe.”

You’ll develop your own unique strategic plan using these Rockefeller Habits tools:

  • One-page strategic plan: Everyone in your business must be on the same page. This is that page.
  • Checklist: Even veteran pilots go through a pre-flight checklist before take-off. You will too.
  • Accountabilities worksheet: Get the right people doing the right things.
  • Who-what-when worksheet: Build the right to-do list and drive tactical priorities.
  • KPI worksheet: Identify the numbers you must watch daily to maintain your trajectory.
  • Critical numbers worksheet: Track short-term, focused, measurable outcomes.
  • Cash conversion cycle worksheet: Fuel your growth with more cash, faster.  

Phase II: Creating immediate impact

To jumpstart your implementation, your Rockefeller Habits coach will spend two days working hands-on with you and your executive team to determine a first-quarter theme, define priorities, develop success metrics, and prime the quarter for success. If you or your team require further coaching or implementation assistance, we can design a customized program to fit your needs.
