P2P Protocols: Elevate Your Team’s Performance to Its Highest Level

The High Cost of Low Performance

The cost of low-performing teams is staggering. Research shows that low-performing teams operate at 60-75% of the capacity of high-performing teams, meaning businesses are paying 100% of the salaries for 25-40% less output. For a team of seven to eight professionals earning an average salary of $80,000 annually, this can result in productivity losses ranging from $140,000 to $256,000 per year (Gallup, 2022).

This doesn’t include the costs associated with higher employee turnover, which is common in underperforming teams. Replacement costs can run anywhere from 50-200% of an employee’s salary (SHRM, 2019). Losing just one employee in this environment could cost as much as $160,000. Add in the opportunity costs from delayed projects, missed innovations, and poor-quality output requiring rework, and businesses could face millions in losses annually(McKinsey, 2021).

Unlock Team Potential and Drive Profitability with P2P Protocols

Even high-functioning teams can struggle to reach their full potential or fail to convert strong performance into measurable business outcomes. Our P2P Protocols help leaders not only maximize team performance but also ensure that their team’s efforts lead directly to measurable financial results. You’ll notice we use the plural “protocols.” That’s because we have two protocols. One for moving teams form potential to performance and the other to translate performance to profit.

Why Choose P2P Protocols?

The P2P Protocols combine evidence-based assessments, customized action plans, and leadership coaching to ensure your teams not only reach their full potential but also maximize their impact on organizational success. Each protocol is grounded in rigorous data collection, ensuring that your team’s journey is mapped and measured every step of the way.

The Two P2P Protocols

1. Potential to Performance
   This protocol focuses on unlocking the full potential of your team. Using tools like the Qi Index, we assess current team dynamics and develop a series of 30-day action plans to enhance collaboration, problem-solving, and overall performance. Whether your team is underperforming or already high-functioning, this protocol helps them reach new heights.
2. Performance to Profit
   Once your team is operating at peak performance, this protocol ensures that their efforts are directly linked to financial success. We introduce the Cost-to-Value Ratio assessment, a powerful tool that quantifies how improved team performance translates into tangible business results. This process provides you with a clear understanding of how team dynamics drive profitability and value creation.

How P2P Protocols Work

Each protocol follows a structured, data-driven process:

• Current and Desired State Assessment
  Both protocols begin with a comprehensive assessment of your team’s current performance and desired future state. In the Performance to Profit phase, this is accompanied by a financial analysis to establish a baseline for measuring value creation.
• Customized Action Plans
  Based on the assessment, we create a tailored series of 30-day action plans that align team strengths with business goals. These plans are designed to optimize both team dynamics and their contribution to organizational success.
• Leadership Coaching
  Throughout both protocols, leaders receive targeted coaching to support their teams. This coaching helps leaders cultivate psychological safety, harness cognitive diversity, and ultimately guide their teams toward both performance excellence and financial results.
• Data-Driven Results
  At the end of each protocol, we use data to measure progress. In the Performance to Profit phase, we also calculate the Cost-to-Value Ratio, giving you clear insights into how performance improvements have impacted profitability.

Who Should Use P2P Protocols?

P2P Protocols are ideal for leaders who:

• Need a clear path for transforming team potential into high performance and measurable financial outcomes.
• Manage teams that are performing well but want to maximize their impact on profitability.
• Seek a reliable, repeatable process for sustaining high performance and aligning team success with business results.

Scientific Foundation

The P2P Protocols are grounded in evidence-based research. The Qi Index measures the quality of team interactions, while the Cost-to-Value Ratio links team performance to profitability. This dual focus ensures that both human and financial elements are optimized, creating sustainable, long-term success for your organization.
