Whoever Wins in IT, tends to Win
“Whoever Wins in IT, tends to Win” The importance of 4D learning and “Sponges and Rocks” to help business leaders get the best out of their team.
In 2018 @ben Whiteley was lucky to attend a presentation on #Highperforming #Teams by @Sir Clive Woodward(#rugbyWorldCup #winningcoach) of @Hive Learning.
@Sir Clive spoke about the challenges he inherited when he became England coach and how he instilled his winning mentality and vison on the players!
One of the first things he did was take his team on a gruelling SAS boot camp to push the team to their limits both physically and mentally! The results, of the team of 20+, only 1 player wasn’t up for the challenge! They were soon phased out of the squad!
Over time, @Sir Clive split his World Cup Winning, Rugby Union England team into two categories, Sponges and Rocks and how he encourages business leaders to follow and get the best out of their teams.
Sponges
are people who ask why and are teachable. They have a thirst for knowledge and understanding
Rocks
are unteachable, uncoachable and less porous and open to learning and implementing improvements.
He talked about his “4D learning” system to help business leaders get the best out of their team.
- Discover – capture and share information and knowledge
- Distil –disseminate all the information you have discovered and determine what the things are that you absolutely must do to succeed. What are the 3-4 “Keys Points
- Do – Once you have identified the Key Points, how do you practice these in order to improve your performance?
- Digital – ‘Whoever Wins in IT, tends to Win”
Sir Clive Woodward on his World Cup Winning Ruby Team of 2003:
Whoever Wins in IT, tends to Win
If they didn’t have the IT skills, they didn’t stay in the team and it was all about data, data, data
Great teams contain great individuals
Once players analysed their performance they really started to understand the game and the team they played for and against
We used software to leverage our talent
I don’t care how old you are, you need to get involved
The result? A new breed of forward-thinking organisations with people empowered to learn together as well as from each other.
@BPM Tech have enhanced our service offering @CORE powered by BPM to provide the data and platform for clients to answer: What excellent looks like for you when hiring? Analysing key behavioural traits of employees and new hires outlining:

Creating a platform for #clients to build your winning team by understanding your CORE DNA, allowing you to separate the Sponges from the Rocks!
Traditional recruitment is broken
BPM Tech "Because People Matter" didn't create CORE Powered by BPM because we liked recruitment. Quite the opposite, in fact!
didn't create CORE Powered by BPM because we liked recruitment. Quite the opposite, in fact!
There are lots of positive, stronger together message for people #opentowork which I’m for but for me, #candidates, #clients and #recruiters #recruitmentagencies can all do play our part in optimising outcomes!
BPM Tech "Because People Matter" have enhanced our service offering in response to the market conditions and created CORE Powered by BPM, simply providing:
- Clients the opportunity to provide a non-biased recruitment process to hire right every time
- Candidates to stand out, get noticed and get hired!
IS THE NOW TIME FOR RECRUITERS, CANDIDATES AND CLIENTS TO CHANGE?
As a consultant at BPM Tech, I speak with candidates and clients daily. In most instances, the candidate wants a job, the client wants to hire the best suited candidate.
Typical conversations often include:
CANDIDATE TO BPM: How do I stand out, get noticed and hired from the other 500 applicants?
CLIENT TO BPM: We’re recruiting directly but inundated with applicants. How do we fairly assess each of the 500 CV’s and provide a positive candidate experience?
WHY CORE? WHY NOW? WHY SUCH DRASTIC CHANGE?
Before I answer why we need change, let me remind you the definition of insanity…
Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results!
Without stating the obvious regarding the current climate, one thing constant across the majority of conversation is change!
Candidates: Changing jobs, Changing CV’s, Changing cover letters, Changing from contract to permanent, Changing salary expectations, changing career!
Clients: Changing resourcing demands and needs of the business, Change regarding optimising cost, Change our screening process, change our onboarding process, change our interview process, change how recruit (to foster a non-biased recruitment process
THERE IS THE TRADITIONAL RECRITMENT PROCESS AND OLD SCHOOL AGENCIES WHICH WE’RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH, BUT THIERE IS ANOTHER WAY…
THIS IS THE CORE WAY:
All candidates come complete with CORE on demand digital profile with job specific behavioural and client driven video profile. Saving the candidate and client time, not having to complete irrelevant first stage interviews.
Resulting in a more commitment and driven candidate as they appreciate the client is bought in proving a slick, non-biased recruitment approach
The client shares, comments and reviews at their convenience the on demand digital profiles and CV’s and simply select candidates for final interview
Live, final interviews take place in person or via CORE’s interview systems which allows the client to record, share and analyse with colleagues.
Hiring directly? No problem- Clients can still benefit the power of CORE!

Who are you?
From speaking to a client yesterday regarding @CORE Powered by BPM (how it helps candidates to stand out), the client mentioned they recently received a CV of a candidate not just detailing their educational, career history, key achievements etc but her core values, who she really was and what she had learnt in each role.
It got me thinking about my what CV and core values would look like. So here goes:
Pre work: Family
- Treat people as you would expect to be treated by others!
- Manners cost nothing!
Early working life:
Role: Pot wash and Kitchen Hand
- We’re only as good as the last meal we’ve served!
- If it’s not right, don’t send it out!
- A positive reputation talks years to build and days to destroy!
Role: Retail Assistant
- You have two ears and one mouth!
- Listen to the customer and if you don’t have what they require,always offer them a similar alternative.
This was always fun whilst working on the trainer section at a well-known high street retailer
Role: Face to face, direct sales
- Never assume!
- Treat every door as an opportunity
- Every no is one step closer to a yes!
- Invest in some comfortable shoes!
Role: Telesales, Sports hospitality
and we were cheap!
Education
- It’s ok not the be the smartest person in the room
- If you don’t understand, ask
Sport
- You’re only as good as your weakest team mate
- Nobody makes mistakes on purpose
- You win as a team and lose as a team
Honesty, teamwork, transparency, hard work and communication were key in all environments
Oh and having fun helped!
What core values and experiences have influenced you?
Is there ever a win-win when it comes to gambling?
You rarely see a poor bookie!
Is gambling about the short term, immediate gratification?
Maybe
Is gambling a long term, sustainable solution?
.....Unlikely!
Feeling lucky and the bet turns sour?
Likely
Ever hear about the bad beats, unlucky bets or big loses?
Rarely
Hear about the punters (occasional) winners!
Always, every day!
Whatever your fix:
- Staking on Red or Black, odd or even, your lucky number? Rarely works! ♠ ♣♥ ♦
- Backing that unbeaten horse that finishes last, wasn’t the idea!
- Backing your team to win at home against bottom of the league is never a banker!
- Backing Serena Williams to surpass Margaret Court's record of 24 grand slams is looking more and more unlikely!
I’m sure the above will resonate with some, if not most!
Can you afford to take the £132,000 gamble with your next recruit? Thought not!
Did you know @REC calculated the cost of a bad hire in the UK (mid-manager level position with a salary of £42,000) at over £132,000!
Also, 85% of decision makers admitted to making a bad hire!
@BPM Tech partner with clients to stack the odds in your favour so you don’t need to take the £132,000 punt!
Partnering with companies to attract, engage and retrain top talent and consulting on their recruitment process, mitigating risk and succession planning with staff is what @ BPM Tech do! Many clients take a calculated approach, often airing on the risk of caution! Some more laissez faire. It’s often horses for courses!
Whatever, your approach @ BPM Tech can help you with your staff attraction, engagement and retention. You can help yourself by answering the following questions below:
- 1. Do you know what excellent looks like for you? Also, how do you convey this when hiring?
- Q. How do you measure and quantify excellent?
- Q. Are current employers hitting the mark?
- 2. Let me take you back to that nightmare! Your last bad hire!
- Q. What lessons did you learn?
- Q. How did you change your process to mitigate the risk of this happening again?
- Q. Remember the disruption?
- Q. How moral was hit!
- Q. The emotion impact
- Q. Time and energy wasted dealing with the situation!
- Q. The cost of re-recruiting!
- 3. Remember: Your next rising star who suddenly left!
- Q. How could this have been mitigated?
- Q. What has changed since?
Stack the odds in your favour:
- Why gamble on the future success of your business?
- Why take a punt with your hard-earned cash?
- Why take the risk of your next key hire working out?
- Why not increase the odds of retaining key employees?

Feel like you are going round and round in circles?
Here's what I’ve learnt from #elfthemovie and how it can relate to staying positive, dealing with life events and overcoming #rejection when #lookingforwork
Here's my thoughts on spreading some positive cheer for all to hear in these testing times!
When you or someone in your network gets a job, CELEBRATE!
Be proud of who you are
Oh, it’s not a costume. I’m an elf. Well, technically, I’m a human, but I was raised by elves.
Get excited by the little things
Good news! I saw a dog today!
Celebrate the small victories
You did it! Congratulations! World's best cup of coffee! Great job, everybody!
Stay positive
I just like to smile. Smiling’s my favourite.
Nice purple dress. Very purpley.
Find time to do what makes you happy
I planned out our whole day. First we'll make snow angels for a two hours, then we'll go ice skating, then we'll eat a whole roll of Tollhouse cookie dough as fast as we can, and then we'll snuggle.
Bekind
I love you! I love you! I LOVE YOU!
There’s room for everyone on the Nice List!
Does somebody need a hug?
(Obviously a virtual COVID hug or Elbow bump)
You have such a pretty face. You should be on a Christmas card.
Failure is fine
Why don’t you just say it? I’m the worst toy-maker in the world? I am a cotton-headed ninny-muggins!
Embrace technology and maintain an open mind to how it can assist you
Why always so serious
He’s an angry elf! He must be a South Pole elf
Everyone has a talent
“mail room dance”
Don’t give up:
"I passed through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of swirly twirly gum drops, and then I walked through the Lincoln Tunnel."
You might not always feel like you fit in, but that’s fine.
It’s just nice to meet another human who shares my affinity for elf culture.
Have a happy place
This place reminds me of Santa's workshop
Sometimes a simply sorry can help
I’m sorry I ruined your lives and crammed 11 cookies into the VCR.
Sometimes we all have those moments. It’s ok to release your frustrations
Son of a nutcracker!"
Learn from your mistakes
“First off, if you see gum on the street, leave it there. It's not free candy”
Be true to who you are
You stink! You smell like beef and cheese, you don’t smell like Santa.
Expect the unexpected
Adapt to new situation
Couple of thing to maybe avoid
Elf’s diet
We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup.
Make sure your CV is accurate so you don’t..
sit on a throne of lies.
When answering the phone or introducing yourself:
Buddy the Elf, what’s your favourite colour?

Helping you become your organisations next recruitment guru: (& avoiding the next Mesut Ozil!)
Not even attracting, engaging & retaining world class talent such as Fabregas, Sanches & Van Persie was enough for Arsenal recruitment guru & head of international scouting Francis Cagigao to save his job!
Thankfully due to player intervention (Ozil) there was a last minute reprieve to save Gunnersaurus!
If there was a definition of a bad hire, you would surely see a picture of Mesut Ozil!
£350k a week, not kicked a ball in anger all season & someone who has made it clear time & time again, that he will not be leaving until his contract expires in June 2021.
So….
- Who is at fault here? (Employer or employee?)
- What went wrong?
- What steps could be taken to reduce the risk of a bad hire?
- What lessons have been learnt?
I’m sure you agree even if you’re a fan of Ozil, this is one example of a very expensive bad hire! Not just financially, but the lasting negative vibes lingering around the club, the constant media scrutiny & headache of managing such a situation!
BPM Tech have recently enhanced our service offering creating CORE to ultimate reducing the risk of a bad hire, saving time & money when recruiting & driving quality!
Fortunately BPM Tech are not football agents & not representing Ozil, but specialist IT, Business Change & SaaS Sales recruiters, representing candidates who have completed CORE ASSESS, CORE’s behavioural profiling!
