Our unique approach derives from THE CHECKMATE FORMULA – How Serial Entrepreneurs & CEOs Win Consistently in the “Chess Game” of Business, by Alan Sellers. It’s based on 30 years of real-world experience identifying, deciphering and articulating important Patterns in business.
The Business Patterns reveal that virtually every success or failure can be traced to the use of Resources and the efficacy of People or Process. Process (NOT used here in the usual sense) is a complex subject and is the means to exploit resources – meaning use resources to best advantage. Proper Process leads to (1) good fact-finding and understanding, (2) good innovation, (3) good design of solutions, and (4) good execution. Those who underestimate the importance of Resources and Process do so at their peril. .
The Patterns teach us that the essential elements of business that dictate success or failure are resources, mindset, people, process and a few force multipliers. A Force Multiplier is anything that dramatically increases effectiveness.
The centerpiece of the book is The Checkmate Formula itself, a result-generation protocol encompassing The Invictus Approach to Creative Thinking, and The Grandmaster’s Mantra (described below).
