A little history
Wall Street was founded in 2001 by Leah Akoka, formerly a highly respected people leader at Dodo Internet. As time went on, Wall Street has evolved into a leading PeopleEconomics® service supplier, with clients across more than 15 industries.
PeopleEconomics® is a 12 point framework designed by Wall Street that captures the effects of psychological, cognitive, emotional, cultural, and workplace factors that impact the mindset & decisions of individuals and business leaders; and ultimately the performance of the business.
Understand Why
In a purpose driven economy your people need to know why you do what you do. They also need to know why they come to work each day.
Own the Business Values and Goals
Aligning your team with your values and goals begins with the leaders. The right communication, at the right time is key. Hold them accountable.
Know Your People
Beyond the social interactions, know their skills, passions, drivers and most of all their potential. Know your gaps.
Make It Ok To Make a Mistake
Successful businesses allow ideas to flourish, to trial initiatives, and to support the entrepreneurs who drive growth through fresh thinking.
Redefine Productivity
Productivity should not be about taking less time to do the usual tasks, but to find new ways of doing things that solve the bigger problems. Learn to make more time.
Reward the Right Behaviour
Set behavioural expectations clearly, and reward them. Set the example and cull the behaviour that limits your growth, no exceptions.
Awaken the Potential
Understand what drives your people. Set goals and raise the bar. Inspire. Anything is possible.
Anticipate Change
The right communication is essential. How are your people going to react to change? How do we ensure they feel ownership?
Make It Ok To Be Authentic
Create an environment for individuality and acceptance, and your people will bring their best game.
Everybody Is An Ambassador
Your people are the best voice for your business. When they are saying ‘we’ instead of ‘them’ they become your passionate advocates.
Make Doing Business Simple
Bringing behavioural economics and efficient systems into the workplace helps your people remain in touch, add more value, and love what they do.
Measure Successes and Constantly Evolve
A mindset of constant improvement and keeping a finger on the pulse of results will engage your people more and help drive results.
