VIP Innovations Launches Management Consulting & Training Services, Teams With 360 Solutions    

VIP Innovations, LLC a Washington, D.C.-based training and consulting company, has recently teamed with 360 Solutions, LLC of Waco, Texas, in order to offer High Performance" management consulting, training and assessment tools. VIP Innovations consults with management and develops customized programs designed to align strategic and organizational goals, instill a sense of ownership throughout, improve employee moral and ultimately stimulate productivity. The High Performance suite of materials and processes are an outgrowth of thorough research, field testing and broadly applied experience.

"As a manager and leader in a multi-million dollar sales organization, I came to understand the challenges associated with implementing new policies, practices and techniques within a 'traditional' organizational paradigm," states Eva A. Jenkins, founder of VIP Innovations. Effecting change is one of the most difficult and daunting tasks a manager faces. Consequently, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing client companies succeed as they work to refocus business strategies and positively redirect human capital."

Through its affiliation with 360 Solutions, VIPInnovation provides best in breed programs and resources geared towards enhancing job content, redesigning organizations and developing 'High Performance' teams.

Chip Wilson, CEO of 360 Solutions states "High Performance systems are designed to create organizations where each person is a contributing partner to the business." This model requires managers to have trust and respect for the team and, likewise, that employees work as partners. They understand that their contribution makes a difference to other members of the team and impacts the overall business. Roles and responsibilities are much broader and more meaningful in scope than those in a "traditional" organization. In a High Performance organization, teams of co-workers participate in goal setting and job content development. This includes defining customer satisfaction objectives and their roles in achieving them through direct customer involvement. Individual contributors are empowered to make day-to-day tactical decisions. In this environment, managers are relieved of having to deal with constant micro" issues instead they can fulfill meaningful roles as facilitators and coaches, and focus on setting higher level goals and objectives.

VIP Innovations and 360 Solutions believe that the challenges of a dynamic economy and marketplace require organizations to invest in people to ensure success. Building High Performance teams is the focus of our efforts. Rather than structuring organizations around narrowly defined jobs that differentiate labor and job functions, fragment the workplace and create us-and-them" environments, this approach emphasizes multi-level planning and collaboration processes in which people can see the results of their contributions. Entrepreneurial spirit, company pride and ownership, self-motivation, efficiency and productivity are the results.
