Performance Transformation, LLC™ Announces Change In Open-Access Policy For Methodologies and I.P.

VENICE, Fla. - June 26, 2013 - PRLog -- Performance Transformation, LLC™ (Venice, FL) announced today a change in their longstanding, open-access policy for the sharing of their knowledge systems, methodologies, and intellectual property.  

"It's unfortunate, but I suppose it's a sign of our times," commented Terry Murray, founder and Managing Partner of Performance Transformation, a leading firm in the development and delivery of high performance leadership and enterprise performance insights and solutions.  "The plagiarism and copyright violations have been growing incrementally over time.  The recent theft of our copyrighted intellectual property, by a major, multi-national corporation, caused us to rethink and retool our policy.  We will continue to share our intellectual property, as we strongly believe in the 21st Century business value of transparency, open collaboration, and the free flow of ideas as the propagating seeds of innovation.  We will just reign it in a bit by implementing a chain of custody trail to those that seek to access our ideas and insights."

Founded in 2008, Performance Transformation (http://performtransform.com) has developed and delivered highly innovative experiential learning programs and strategies for both the nonprofit and for profit sectors.  Through their recent partnering with Talent Sprocket™, LLC (http://talentsprocket.com) they are the first leadership and enterprise performance firm to incorporate advanced, machine learning into their approach.  Talent Sprocket incorporates sophisticated algorithms to deliver Predictive Human Analytics™, a major step forward in the rapidly growing, talent management arena.  The combination of Performance Transformation's proprietary, developmental approach and Talent Sprocket's analytical capabilities delivers concise, return on investment metrics for leadership development, a very unique benefit in the industry.

"Everybody claims to be an expert today, especially in the field of leadership development," added Terry.  "When we look at the research data, it's quite obvious there are very, very few effective leadership development companies delivering viable solutions and value in the market.  Corporations and institutions have invested nearly $1 trillion over the past twenty years in behaviorally-based leadership development programs. The ROI is pitiful, representing perhaps the worst, collective investment companies have made over the past two decades."

The Gallup® Company's recent, annual survey on the State of the American Workplace once again pegs employee disengagement at 70%. This figure has remained stagnant for more than a decade.  McKinsey® published a study less than two years ago that demonstrated only 1% of executives scored excellent in eight key leadership competencies.  Ninety percent scored below average.

Terry is the author of "The Transformational Entrepreneur", which was cited by the academic Journal of Economic Literature in March, 2012.  Performance Transformation's pro bono program, "Warriors in Transition", was formally commended by General David Petraeus in 2010.  The program imparts leadership and resiliency skills in combat veterans working to successfully navigate the transition home.  It has also been employed extensively for veterans struggling with Post Traumatic Stress to support Post Traumatic Growth.

"What would our economy, companies and nation look like today if these traditional approaches to leadership development had actually delivered on their promise?  It's why we come armed with a validated, neurologically-based approach grounded in the needs of the individual as well as the business, build skills around tangible business outcomes, and hold ourselves accountable with our analytics capabilities.  We're determined to make a change."

In addition to publishing his book in 2011, Terry has written and published more than 300 articles and blogs (http://terrymurrayblog.com), openly sharing his wisdom, knowledge and expertise.  He is a frequent guest of the media and a sought after speaker for professional conferences and symposia.

"Congruency is such a part of our philosophy and we believe in giving forward and openly contributing to support positive change in our society and communities," said Terry.  "Capitalism can be, and should be, a force for good. When business leaders embrace this perspective, it resonates with today's multi-cultural, multi-generational, global workforce.  Enormous productivity gains and value is lying quietly, just beneath the surface in many companies and organizations.  Our approach is proven to capture and leverage that value, driving remarkable, breakthrough business results.  We simply will no longer subsidize individuals and corporations that don't share in our honesty and authenticity."
