Everyone is
unique and offers unique value to an organization. They have a
personal value system and a unique set of experiences. That’s the good
news. But a manager is left to identify how to (1) align
that uniqueness to business goals, (2) integrate everyone's uniqueness
to form a cohesive team, and (3) ensure that employees maintain and
improve their business alignment and team cohesiveness while
performing their tasks. In other words, the manager is perpetually
searching for leadership solutions based on the uniqueness,
variations
and learning cycles of team members. Until now, there has been a
technology gap in supporting managers as leaders.
In response
to this challenge and technology gap, Catalyst Technologies (CT)
developed u2 Leadership Software that automated Solutions Offering Unique
Learning (SOUL), a powerful problem solving methodology, to help leaders better direct each employee within
an aligned, cohesive and
constantly improving organization, and provide managers with leadership
knowledge that is useful – useful knowledge causes learning.
Organizations' not having SOUL are left in the dark.
Your current project
and operations
management
technology forces
you to view
employees as static,
homogeneous
resources - simple
robots with
functions. They are
names on a
list, without their
related human
attributes, assigned an hourly
rate while working
on tasks. Consider
the technology you
currently use to be SOUL-less, giving
you NO knowledge or way to learn of the uniqueness
of each individual,
or how to integrate
each individual's
uniqueness into a
cohesive team. These
SOUL-less
technologies give
you NO way to learn how
to ensure that
employees maintain
and improve their
business alignment
and team
cohesiveness while
performing their
tasks.
In-other-words,
SOUL-less
technologies attempt
to keep you
uninformed of the
facts.
What are SOUL technology
components? SOUL
technology components
provide leadership
focused Solutions
Offering Unique Learning
(SOUL) for how to best
utilize an employee’s
unique experience,
skills and motivation to
reliably satisfy
customers and become
part of a profitable team. Manager’s
learn by guessing. Using
SOUL components, the
learning is no longer guesswork, but facts and
knowledge about human
beings, instead of robots.
Today's productivity pressures and other
demands on managers pull them away from being able to utilize a
team’s uniqueness so that they only have time for a more
homogeneous view of their staff. "Do
more with less" is causing leaders to view team members as
lists on a resource sheet and industry trends are contributing
to this problem of epidemic proportions.
In recognition of the critical need for leadership support in light
of growing demands on leaders, Catalyst Technologies (CT) developed the technology, and then integrated this technology
into a suite of plug-in modules and templates collectively called u2
Leadership Software. SOUL components within u2 Leadership Software
specifically address these leadership issues with metrics and
algorithms that are simple and phenomenal in use. It is a common sense evolutionary
leap, started several decades ago, and now provides managers with push
button simplicity in leadership, and a new and better world for team
leaders.
u2 Leadership Software provides you with easy to understand
information to (1) align employees' uniqueness to business goals, (2)
integrate their uniqueness to form a cohesive team and workforce,
and (3) ensure that employees can consistently improve their
business alignment and team cohesiveness while performing their
tasks.

Common misconceptions about your workforce and technology
Our simple add-in technology to Microsoft Project and Excel cuts through
common misconceptions about tracking time spent, money consumed and
processes followed. It supports you in managing people as the key assets in achieving business success.
Is your current software providing you with detailed information about the value your people offer or does it only focus on the amount of money they're spending? It's your people's initiative, dedication and drive that create your business results. Converting your current project software into a technology that supports these three elements gives you essential knowledge to nail deadlines with greater ease and efficiency.
Nailing deadlines requires your ability to cut through misconceptions about your workforce's ability to do good work
Misconception #1: “Tracking time and money gives you visibility and control.”
Measuring and maintaining how well your workforce can consistently: (1) do good work, (2) be good followers and (3) be adequately rewarded for their actions gives you visibility and control. Tracking time and money tells you if people were able to, in the past, do good work, be good followers and be adequately rewarded. It’s like saying: “When the Titanic hit the iceberg, that’s when the Captain was really in control. It’s certainly important to know when you’ve hit the icebergs, but isn’t it more important to know how to miss them, even the little ones? Our software provides the missing information that tells you how to avoid potential time, money and process issues, especially when working with changing requirements or new opportunities. And when issues cannot be avoided, our software provides you with reliable solutions to optimize your workforce according to the three measurements discussed above. That’s the visibility and control you really need.
Misconception #2: “Process makes a difference.”
It’s people following or determining the process that make a difference.
Consider that a process establishes a level of quality or efficiency when
followed by implementers. But how do you calibrate the process in terms of the people following it? For example, are the processes you’re using optimized to fully utilize the experience and strengths of your
people to maximize their productivity? How are you currently calibrating this optimization factor? Do your processes take full advantage of the implementer’s drive to do good work? Is this also calibrated? Utilizing strengths and maintaining drive become the real building blocks in getting people to do good work. Our software not only provides you with automatic access to this calibration information, it increases your control in maintaining these building blocks to reliably meet deadlines with greater ease.
Misconception #3: “People don’t want to change.”
It’s not change people resist, but the fear of negative effects that can be caused by that change. Hand out a wanted raise or promotion and see how fast change is accepted. The first step to making change easily within an organization is to know what inspires people. The only thing certain in the business world is that change will happen and as a manager, you will need to get your team to adapt. Using our software gives you key information about your team’s potential reaction to a specific organizational change and what they will need to feel more secure. With this information, our technology facilitates a simple communication technique with your group, providing you the knowledge to lead the team’s transition with greater ease and support.
Misconception #4: “People don’t like to report progress.”
People like to report their good work. But, they are concerned about how their progress, especially when behind, is interpreted. Tracking time and money indicates how you
separate good work from bad. That’s an ongoing dynamic, and time and money need to be tracked consistently. So what do you do? Our software translates time and money metrics into learning and growth measurements with the same level of objectivity and accuracy. These learning and growth measurements are then translated into methods to improve the self-esteem, confidence and worth of the individual doing the tracking. This approach provides people with the incentive to track and report their progress in order to: (1) be adequately acknowledged or (2) improve their quality of life. Either reason establishes a measurable win-win system for all involved. When your team measurably benefits by providing you with reliable, timely data (good or bad), your ability to control an outcome dramatically improves.
