Who We Are: Optimization is Our Specialty
Founded in 1985, we are the global authority in Optimal Thinking and a premiere personal and organizational optimization firm.
In order to achieve prolific rewards, you must provide the best solution for your target market. People rarely shop for their second best solution. Being the best is disproportionately more rewarding than coming in second or third. Too often you get nothing when you come in second. Most people don’t recall who came in second or third to Olympic gold medalist, Michael Phelps. Winner takes all.
For the past 35 years, the most successful and fastest growing companies have used our optimization resources to optimize performance. Our clients are unwilling to settle for second-rate products and services. We work tirelessly with them to deliver the best solutions and the best value – second to none in their niche.
Our purpose is to optimize – not just manage or improve – the performance of people, products, processes, structure and governance in organizations with consistent Optimal Thinking.
Our company provides the following optimization resources to implement best practices, achieve best solutions and optimum value:
- Executive coaching
- Career transition coaching
- On-site seminars and custom virtual training
- Business proposal writing service
- Business plan writing service
- Optimization consulting
- Self-optimization and 360 assessments
- Optimization products
We create “Best Place to Work” organizational cultures where loyal individuals, teams and departments contribute their best, regardless of circumstances or outcomes.
Our team works within large corporations, mid-size and small businesses, government and educational institutions, not-for-profit organizations, and with individual executives.
We publish a blog and several e-newsletters, including “The Optimal Thinker’s Newsletter” and “The Optimal Thinking Leader.”
OptimalThinking.com, a division of The World Academy of Personal Development Inc., is based in Marina del Rey, Los Angeles, U.S.A.
