What\u2019s important about \u201cmethodology\u201d? A great deal!<\/p>\n

A methodology is an integrated, coherent suite of skills that interconnect, leverage and support one another, enabling process, playbooks, coordinated motions, consistency, tracking, measurement, and structured coaching. Methodology addresses four key questions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Why do things a certain way.<\/li>\n
  2. What should be done.<\/li>\n
  3. How to execute specific skills: explicit instructions.<\/li>\n
  4. When to apply the skills and in what order.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    An Analogy: Let\u2019s Build a House!<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Contemplate construction skills: The ability to hammer nails, drill holes, saw wood, pour cement, connect wiring, plumb sinks, install drywall, paint, etc.<\/p>\n

    Each of these skills takes time to learn and master.<\/p>\n

    Building a house requires these skills and <\/em>coordinated timing and flow.<\/p>\n

    In order to know what to build, an architect generates plans that include pages for the foundation, framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, painting, cabinetry, and more.<\/p>\n

    The contractor takes the plans and coordinates the timing<\/em> for each step: That\u2019s the methodology<\/em> of construction!<\/p>\n

    You can\u2019t install wiring until the framing is in place, but you also need to do the electrical before<\/em> internal drywall.<\/p>\n

    Imagine the disaster if a concrete foundation is poured and then<\/em> the contractor realizes that plumbing and electrical conduits should have been installed first!<\/p>\n

    Methodology is what coordinates individual skills with the correct timing and flow.<\/p>\n

    Great Demo!<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Methodology enables skills to be taught and practiced, both individually and<\/em> as integrated components.\u00a0 In Great Demo! methodology, for example, Informal Success Stories<\/a> feed Vision Generation Demos and associated Menus<\/a>, supporting a variety of demo scenarios (including \u201cjust show me a demo\u201d requests from prospects, Executive Briefing Center<\/a> demos, demos for 3rd<\/sup> parties, and many more).<\/p>\n

    The application of the Inverted Pyramid<\/a> structure in Great Demo! delivery is another example of methodology vs individual skills, guiding us to present the most important content early in our demos, followed by inviting our prospects to Peel Back the Layers as deeply as they desire. The Inverted Pyramid arrangement tells us why, what, how, and when to present information in a demo.<\/p>\n

    Fascinatingly, the VP of Enablement of one of our Great Demo! customers noted that, \u201cMethodology enables<\/em> enablement\u2026!\u201d An insightful and provocative perspective!<\/p>\n

    Measurement(s) for Achieving Level 10 \u2013 Methodology Implementation:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Operates as a team or organization as opposed to individuals.<\/li>\n
    2. Establishes objectives and tracks metrics<\/a> to improve team performance and efficiency.<\/li>\n
    3. Actively evolves and tunes the methodology in accord with company objectives, market changes, and culture.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Organizations that achieve Level 10 Methodology Implementation enjoy remarkable scaling and amplification metrics and establish substantial competitive advantages vs their peers.<\/p>\n
