Commitment
Meeting or beating commitments is foundational!Are you tired of getting beat up for schedule overruns? Is schedule slippage not only tolerated, but expected? Do you dread that conversation with senior leadership, having to explain why the project is delayed? If so, you are not alone.
There is a better way…an exceptional way
At Exceptional Difference, we’re committed to empowering elite engineers, teams, and leaders to make commitments that you can meet or beat. Our Commitment offerings include comprehensive consulting and experiential learning, which includes talks, tools, and experiences. These offerings help you drive the development of sound engineering plans based on realistic estimates of the work required to complete tasks and your time available to work on tasks. This will lead to a Culture of Excellence where everyone thrives and enjoys the peace of mind knowing that commitments will be consistently met or beat.

Comprehensive Consulting
We have worked with thousands of engineers across both the public and private sector to master the mindsets of commitment. By working closely with your leaders and engineers, we understand how your organization approaches commitment and how slippage impacts your top and bottom lines, your customers’ overall satisfaction, and your ability to attract and retain top talent. We work with you to create a Culture of Excellence where everyone thrives and commitments are consistently met or beat.
Experiences
Commitment Deep Dive (CDD) is a transformational and immersive experience that leverages readings, dialogs, labs, mentoring, and on-the-job application as it enables the cohort to learn and retain the information as they apply it to their organization. CDD covers the commitment ethic, estimating both time required to complete tasks and time available to work on tasks, managing risk, tracking progress, reviewing historical data, and immediately applying your lessons to the remainder of the plan. As a result, you will get better at planning, and you will start making commitments you can meet or beat.
