The High-Performance Code: Making Great Teams Extraordinary
Sustained excellence isn’t an accident—it’s engineered.
About this topic
When CEOs are asked what keeps them up at night, it’s rarely technology or competition.
It’s this: “How do I get my people to perform at their absolute best?”
It’s a question worth $300 billion when you consider the global spend on performance improvement initiatives. Yet despite this massive investment, high-performing teams remain the outliers. In fact, one study found just 30% of workplace teams are considered truly high-performing.
That’s because most organisations focus on systems and outputs—while elite teams focus on what truly drives results. They’ve cracked the code on making the right things matter—consistently, culturally, and under pressure. And above all, they’ve figured out how to make their people matter.
In this high-performance keynote, Holly Ransom takes audiences inside the playbooks of elite teams—from NASA to the All Blacks, British Rowing, and Pixar. Backed by behavioral science and real-world application, she introduces her High-Precision Performance Framework™—a practical model to help leaders engineer clarity, consistency, and self-sustaining excellence in their own teams.
You’ll learn The Three Pillars of High-Precision Performance:
- Sharpen what you measure – Focus on the few metrics that drive 80% of impact, and create fast feedback loops that turn insight into action.
- Systemise how you perform under pressure – Embed repeatable routines that fuel consistency, resilience, and recovery—especially when the stakes are high.
- Scale performance through culture – Hardwire high standards into team rituals and environments, so excellence spreads and sustains over time.
When your people know what matters most and feel they matter to the mission, you don’t just get better performance—you unlock the kind of breakthrough results that redefine what’s possible.

People-Powered Change That Sticks
More than 70% of transformation efforts fail — not because of bad strategy, but because people never truly got on board. The result? Burned-out teams, wasted investment, and change fatigue that stalls your next big move.
In this keynote, Holly Ransom delivers a practical framework for making change stick — by activating the one asset most leaders underutilise: people who believe they matter to the mission.
Grounded in behavioural science and real-world results, Holly’s Three Pillars of High-Precision Change shows leaders how to build trust fast, drive ownership at scale, and turn resistance into momentum.
Because successful change doesn’t get pushed — it gets owned. This is how you spark it.
