To be successful, professional athletes must work on the fundamentals of their performance every day. They hone individual elements such as materials, techniques, tactics, training design, or mental techniques. Outstanding performance results from years of work on achieving excellence in each of those sub-areas. Talent and hard training alone are not enough.

An impressive example of this is the increase in marathon best times. In 1908, the best runner needed 2:55:18 hours for the 42.125 kilometers. Currently (2020), the official world record is 2:01:39 hours (see graph). Since the attributes of the human body have not changed in the last hundred years, the improvement is due to systematic work.

Just as in professional sports, knowledge workers are required to perform at the highest level or strive to do so themselves. The basis of their work is, for example, the ability to generate valuable ideas, process them efficiently, and communicate them effectively. But how often does a knowledge worker hone the fundamentals of his or her performance? As a rule, he does his job in the best possible way but works on the individual elements only selectively and unsystematically.

All the skills that a knowledge worker needs for his job can be trained concretely with cAPPabilities. Thanks to our systematic approach, it takes little time to achieve constant improvement. However, goal orientation, consistency, and motivation are also important here. As a result, one is qualified for new challenges, and current tasks become easier. Unimagined possibilities open up as the skill-related obstacles now no longer exist.
