The Kendo Way
Improving performance is an essential need for all organisations.
Understanding the problem is the first step to fixing it. But there is no singular cause and no problem is an orphan. Organisations have weaknesses in their structure and processes that allow problems to develop.
We think organisation problems are like a partly built Rubiks Cube where direction, structure and alignment are missing.
Kendo provides a robust approach where identified problems can be addressed by our customised approach. This solution is foundational and allows you to build out a complete solution over other areas of the business.
Since we do not think problems are orphans The Kendo Way is designed to build out your Rubiks Cube.
Plans are delivered by people. Organisational performance is dependent on how people perform. Improving an individual’s performance requires agreeing what they need to deliver, improving their capabilities and making them feel intergral to the team.
Giving people access to their specific piece so the can self manage and promote intrinsic motivation. This involves creating individual Rubiks Cubes.

The Kendo Pillars of Success
Pillars of Success
- Direction requires clarity over purpose, values, strategy, and business plan. Lack of strategic alignment means we are not all rowing the boat in the same direction.
- Execution includes measuring regular progress to business plan objectives and meeting responsibilities. Good plans will not work without robust execution
People requires defined roles and personalised career plans. People need to understand what success looks like for them which means clear roles and set deliverables. - Capabilities is the measure of individual, team and organisational skills relative to the roles. Deep capabilities in areas of competitive advantage is necessary but a balance of capabilities is also necessary.
- Intrinsic Motivation is the key to that satisfaction that come from doing meaningful work. Extrinsic motivation is driven by tangible rewards but autonomy, growth and belonging drive intrinsic motivation.
- Governance is the oversight of those charged with management responsivities for the organisation. The lack of robust governance can lead to significantly greater risks and consequential losses by the organisation
