• Do you find that variability in job performance amongst staff costs the company dearly?
• Do you find that some parts of the job are complex and require a level of expertise that most people do not have?  As a result, either mistakes are made or the task in hand is put off for later.
• Are large elements of jobs boring and repetitive, causing some to take their eyes off the job in hand and make mistakes?

All of the above slow down your productivity, and yet you CAN do something about them QUICKLY.

Many job roles involve decision making where the outcome of a poor decision is not immediately obvious, yet costs the company dearly.  Some companies focus heavily in trapping and rectifying mistakes.  Past ‘productivity tools’ may have introduced short term savings, but often they rob people of their enjoyment of work, leading to de-motivation and the worsening of customer service. There has to be a better way… 

There is.  Cotoco’s award winning solutions make it easy to get the job done competently, quickly and raise productivity by 10%, 20% and even more.

It goes without saying that preventing mistakes from happening in the first place enhances productivity.  Sending your staff on courses provides them with the opportunity to learn, but

• Training is often delivered a long time before it is needed and traditional methods rely heavily on knowledge retention.
• The learning environment is often separate from the job environment and putting the theory into practice is often harder than it should be.
• Staff apply their knowledge in different ways and a best practice approach to each task undertaken within an organisation is not often readily available for all staff to follow in the future.
• There is little focus on how training directly affects business performance.

Imagine, then, how your productivity could be increased if

• best practice, knowledge, processes and procedures were readily available in a format that makes it easy to act upon and implement.
• Any new role could be taught on the job and the staff member able to reach optimum performance within a very short time.

• Productivity is often accelerated by 10%, 20%, 30% and sometimes even more,
  in a matter of weeks.
• Job errors are reduced at source.
• Monotonous processes are automated.
• The dependence of the staff on experts is reduced.
• New people are inducted faster with less cost.
• Time out from work for training is reduced.

‘Markitect* has provided Friends Provident IFA consultants with a marketing toolkit which truly differentiates us from the competition.’ (Christine Foyster, Head of Investment Marketing) and one of their major accounts gave the following feedback;

‘I am extremely impressed by the quality and ease of product marketing material.  Another major advantage is that your system has reduced what would normally be a significant cost for marketing.’

*Internal brand name given to the Accelerator toolkit.

Verification of how well your top performers are really doing.
This enables Cotoco to...

• improve upon the methodology already used by your top performers (and top performers within your industry) and
• automate repetitive elements of a job, thus reducing error and saving time.  And crucially…
• make it easy for all your staff (including outsourced operations) to adopt winning behaviours in a matter of minutes (and of course how well these behaviours are being adopted is tracked and measured)

• Research - our chairman runs what is thought to be the largest project in the world into winning behaviours and has identified what top performers do differently. We factor this knowledge into the bespoke Productivity Accelerator.
• Experience - Cotoco has over 13 years world-wide corporate experience of accelerating business and has pioneered the approach used in the creation of each Productivity Accelerator.
• Results - As a workforce starts to use the Productivity Accelerator, they apply the built-in approaches and distilled experience of top performers by default.  And, because toolkits are employed on the job, users no longer have to remember all the detail.
