Most incentive programs tie awards to performance that creates revenue or profit. But it doesn’t have to. Sometimes it is nice to reward people for other things that may have zero impact on sales. Maybe something that might impact the… Continue Reading →
A great influence and incentive tool that is rarely used is something called “idiosyncratic fit.” For those of you in Rio Linda that means the rules of the game favor my specific situation and skill set. Idiosyncratic means peculiar or… Continue Reading →
Time is now our most precious commodity. Well, maybe a close 2nd to Facebook political posts. And in 2020 we get extra time. February 29, 2020. Leap Day. Make up day. Designed to consolidate the ¼ day excess we get… Continue Reading →
I should probably be posting this on Groundhog’s Day. Since I’ve rebooted Incentive Intelligence and focused on delivering shorter posts, more often, it is becoming harder and harder to come up with new and distinct topics with which to blow… Continue Reading →
