Vivid Performance Group Launches in St. Louis

    ST. LOUIS, MO, August 03, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Vivid Performance Group, a business performance improvement company, has launched in St. Louis. Under the leadership of Kim Baker, President, the firm is dedicated to helping organizations "future-proof" their employees, teams and whole organization to compete more effectively in the 21st century and beyond.

Vivid aligns business strategy with necessary supporting employee core business skills. The firm upskills and closes the gap in those business skills, found in research, to be both the most lacking and necessary (today and tomorrow) to create high performing organizations.

"Future-proofing is important for a company if they want to be relevant and viable in the future. It is a forward looking mindset which recognizes competitive forces are at play and without upping the game, employees, teams and organization risk becoming disrupted and even obsolete," Baker said.

"While these needs may seem obvious many are not being met. Multiple U.S. employer surveys reveal gaps in the employee core business skills of critical thinking; collaboration and team work; communication, and management. In a survey of 500 senior executives 92% say U.S. workers aren't as skilled as they should be. 44% cite a lack in the soft skills of communication, creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration. 1 Critical Thinking has been found to be one the toughest skills to recruit. 2 "

"To solve that problem we work with companies to upskill and better engage their employees. This results in a staff that is more productive, participative and passionate. Research shows that these organizations perform at a higher level and garner KPI's of greater revenue growth; market share; profitability; and customer satisfaction than lower performing competitors. The end result is an organization that is healthier, more agile, and better positioned to compete-today and tomorrow," said Baker.

Baker, who has some 25 years of experience in sales and marketing; training and development; and consulting, said Vivid's training can be effective for any small sized or medium sized business, from 10 to 5,000 employees. This can include working with all professional levels and functions within any industry.
