[MUSIC] I'd like to tell you why power on boarding works, and I'm going to use this chart to demonstrate why this happens. On the vertical axis of this chart, you see proficiency going up to 100% efficiency at the top, starting at zero or at 10%. On the lower axis of this chart, you see the number of months that's we're going to track people as they go through they're transitions, to see how they reach their proficiency levels. You notice there's a dotted line drawn across this chart it's 70%. That's the line that's agreed upon by most companies of where the tipping point is. From the time that you arrive as an employee that needs to be trained and you're a cost to the company, to the point where you're actually tipping over and becoming a productive employee and contributing to the value of the organization. Managers want to get you to that level as quickly as possible, and companies will track that performance to see when you get over to the tipping point and become a valued employee. On this chart, we're going to show you at this point, 60% of the people that go through transitions. They're very normal, they follow this black line. By the way, there's going to be another 6% you're never going to see. Those are people that never made it through the transition. They failed. But, let's focus on these 65% right now. These people take, as you see, they move along from the time that they start at 20%, a lot of that 20%. The reason that they have skill set that they brought from another company. They brought these along from their former employer, if they're skills that they were able to use, and transfer to this new company, or there weren't jobs within the company that were related to this. So, they could use the new, the old skills in the new job. So, they start at 20 plus percent. And they move along a nice trajectory, very solid over the months, until they reach 70%, which takes about 21 months. Let's contract this with another group of employees that are going to start at a much higher level, at the gold line. This is a smaller group of 26 to 28% of the people who are using power on boarding and so what's happening here. They're starting at a higher level, they're starting at 43, 45%, they basically have taken some of the work the people have done. In work months one, two, and three. And they're moving it back in months minus one, minus two, minus three. So, they're preparing for the job. In the famous words that you all hear from people, they hit the ground running. And the reason they do it, it's because they've done the work before they show up on day one. Now it doesn't stop there. In addition to that, you're going to find that the slope of the curve is just a little bit steeper. So, not only do they hit the ground running, but they actually move ahead faster. And if you extrapolate if forward as we have done in this graph, you'll see that they cross the 70% line at about 12 months. The difference between 12 months and 21 months is, is huge. To the company it's dollars. It's a lot of dollars. Because now, they have employees in a much shorter time, that are contributing to the success of the company. But for you as an employee it's even more important. because it builds your confidence, it makes you so, feel so good about what you're doing. And more importantly, as you progress further onto the 100% competency it makes you eligible for a promotion sooner. As we talked about in the earlier module, think about doing that 12 times through your career, and how that's going to enhance your terrific career, your extraordinary career. But it's done through power on boarding.
