80-20 Problem: Just A Few Top Performers Create Most Value
Over-relying on top performers' to get things done right is 'Managing on the Edge of Failure'
- Loss of a high performer has major effects
- Many top performers are getting burnt-out
- Hiring practices only produce 'average' people
- Manager are afraid to fire non-performers
- Training typically yields only marginal effects
- Rushing to fill positions yields low performers
Ultimate productivity RISK: failing to hire, develop and retain more high performers
Top performers add 4-8 times more value than average but managers have grown so complacent they perpetuate the false belief that "Average" is good.
This is wrong because Industry-leading competitors are setting higher standards for the organization
Value Curve - Research Evidence
Schmidt & Hunter's research shows top performers (in the 84th percentile) far outproduce average workers by
19% in unskilled roles, 32% in skilled roles, and 48% in professional and managerial roles
O'Boyle & Aguinis (2012) found that 20% of employees generate 80% of the value an organization creates.
It should be abundantly clear that your future depends on hiring-developing-retaining more high performers
Value Gap in Dollars
This value gap is largest exactly where it costs the most. Here is what the talent gap means in dollars:
- In $40,000 roles, poor performers contribute $32,000 less per year than a top performer.
- A top performer in that same role adds $16,000 more per year than average — roughly 40% above the role's base value.
- At a $65,000 average salary, 1,000 top performers would add $26M in value per year over an average-performing workforce.
Evidence of Talent Engineering's Lasting Impact
We collected and analyzed millions of data points on what distinguished thousands of top performers in diverse jobs in global companies like Alcatel, Hitachi, J&J, Nokia and Texas Instruments.
Our technology worked seamlessly with existing HR tools so they issued us contractor badges to deploy it globally.
The contracts with these clients lasted for many years because we not only delivered results, but also taught them how to self-reliantly use the technology to get science-based explanations for performance variance.

CASE HISTORIES OF HOW TALENT ENGINEERING ADDS VALUE
$Millions in Improved Quality by Cutting Technician Turnover 16%
QUALITY PROBLEM DUE TO TURNOVER
At a wafer fab operation, technician turnover was costing $millions in production errors-delays, quality
TALENT ENGINEERING SOLUTION
We identified a sample of technicians with high work quality, low turnover, and conscientious work habits. We studied them on 5 levels of talent measurement and built a PROFILE of what distinguished them.
Talent Engineering software produced guides to hire, develop and manage on these high standards.
RESULT: turnover dropped, productivity increased and the client ordered Profiles on all their jobs
Assessment-based Leadership Development
We led an international team of psychologists and talent consultants to develop and execute a leadership assessment-development-coaching process
510 middle managers and executives were assessed and coached on 21 leadership standards.
One year later, leaders coached on 21 standards received significantly higher feedback ratings from their managers, peers, and subordinates while
Uncoached managers ratings did not improve
Culture-Climate Analysis led to Successful Interventions
A 90-item Work-People-Environment survey was conducted on over 600 production plant employees and their managers. Analysis of organization culture-climate issues causing dissatisfaction were reported to site-wide teams who successfully solved most issues
