Alex Todd’s Summary

My company, Trust Enablement Incorporated, is a think tank organization that conducts research and provides management consulting services.

We are the developer and owner of a proprietary management innovation, called Trust Enablement™. It is used by organizations in technologies and business processes to help them achieve their business goals by optimizing the trust of their stakeholders. Trust Enabled™ business practices reduce transaction costs and enhance business value in areas as diverse as supply chain management and corporate governance.

Trust Enablement™ is both a management philosophy and a technology for business best practices. It fills a business practices void by counterbalancing risk management based control mechanisms that preserve trust, with those that develop trust, and thereby provides a complementary, foundational, new management competency. It serves to fundamentally change the leadership mindset from an inside out to an outside-in orientation.

Trust Enablement™ has broad applicability, similar to risk management, but its value to business is far greater. Whereas risk management is defensively minded and preservation oriented, Trust Enablement™ is offensive and growth oriented.

Trust Enablement™ is a better approach for supporting the collaborative innovations required to compete in the 21st century.

We offer the Trust Optimizer Program (http://www.TrustOptimizer.com) and the Governance Lifecycle Model (GLM) Assessment Tool (http://trustenablement.com/governing.html#GLM) to help organizations achieve their business objectives by optimizing the trust of their stakeholders.
