*“There is a mismatch between what science knows and what business does.”
CORE has a very straightforward mission: we help people and teams achieve their full potential.
Most individuals and teams know they have untapped potential. Sometimes, that potential is about elite teams finding their next gear, sharpening their minds, increasing focus, coordination, and connection. Sometimes, it’s more about fundamentals like getting the basics of managing right, improving focus, flow, alignment, collaboration, productivity, decision quality, avoiding preventable mistakes, strengthening strategy, or retaining talent.
CORE is a truly next generation approach to generating these outcomes, leveraging breakthroughs in human science and research that previous generations of leaders didn’t have access to. The benefits of this science-driven approach are significant: significantly better results, bigger and faster successes, the flexibility to help more types of people and teams, and a feeling of absolute clarity about how your team can reach its full potential, down to each individual.
Above, Daniel Pink perfectly describes the gap that CORE helps teams close. We have put massive effort into translating the science of human performance into a simple and accessible set of programs and tools for the business world, making it clear how managers, contributors, and leaders can be at their absolute best. Our development programs, tools, and coaching offer a comprehensive, engaging, highly-effective, and budget-conscious set of solutions that drive high and immediate ROI.
We live in a business world that very much seems to be struggling: 66% of the US workforce is disengaged (source), 82% of managers aren’t succeeding (source), $399 billion is lost annually to inefficient meetings (source), and many businesses have to work too hard to attract, hire, activate, and retain talent, using expensive, low-impact tactics like benefits and perks instead of much more efficient and effective tactics like culture, purpose, organizational health, and great managers. The science of what attracts, retains, and activates human beings is crystal clear.
CORE Sciences was founded in 2019 for a simple reason: the business world has become faster and more complex, yet most teams are still using 30+ year old approaches to managing human beings. The immense noise of popular books, podcasts, leadership gurus, and more has made it hard to know which way is up. But science cuts cleanly through the noise, making extremely clear how to best motivate, hire, engage, and develop human beings.
Over the last 30 years, the scientific study of human performance has produced powerful insights into what makes us all work at our best. The business world is yet to adopt the majority of this knowledge, stuck with ideas and habits that often (and accidentally) get in the way instead of helping.
Not only has the business world increased in pace and complexity, but something much bigger has happened that changes everything for managers and leaders: employees have far greater choice and mobility in where to work. This reality has essentially broken the back of outdated management approaches, resulting in unprecedented disengagement and turnover, costing the business world hundreds of billions in lost productivity, inefficiency, and significant costs of attracting, activating, replacing, and retaining talent.
Leaders and managers need the most modern tools and approaches to meet today’s and tomorrow’s challenges. We started CORE to answer that call, offering a simple and extremely complete approach to training and equipping teams for modern demands.
