ULTHULE

The Highest Level of Performance Attainable

Roman commanders led their soldiers into battle with the imperative "Ultima Thule" - achieve the highest level attainable. Successful enterprises begin in an atmosphere of exciting, noble and in-depth vision. Business innovation and growth, however, require the transformation of noble visions into well managed "Ultima Thule," or Ulthule, enterprises. Successful organizations are champions of innovation, design, and the use of Information Technologies to gain competitive leverage through the mastery of time. Organizations at the cutting edge of technology and guided by highly skilled, innovative, and tough-minded executives establish the best practices that others follow.

The Newkirk Group introduces Ulthule Programs to assist clients in achieving performance at the highest level attainable and build management relationships to unleash the power of Ulthule Leadership at the "Pinnacle of Decision Making". We designed our Ulthule Approach for your environment.

  • For Board Level executives, our Ulthule Approach offers timely, cutting-edge, and innovative Corporate Governance programs integrated with a unique human activity systems model of performance relationships.
  • For the enterprise, our Ulthule Approach offers a comprehensive Governance Model to enable Boards to achieve performance at the highest level attainable, the Ulthule level.

The Newkirk Group understands that the success of any enterprise more than ever depends on the success of individuals in positions of leadership and the teams following them. Since leadership arises from the interaction of peak experience coupled with intense environmental challenge, visionary Boards develop unique leadership strategies to achieve specific goals, building on the current strengths of their organizations while developing new levels of innovation, productivity, and effectivity as they lead their organizations into the 21st Century.

The Newkirk Group's 21st Century view of Governance changes the expectations of Leadership success and touches everyone Board member. Since Ulthule demands personal skills that form the unique bases of competence, The Newkirk Group has designed this special seminar to facilitate the attainment of high performance corporate governance by elaborating the uniquely empowering vision contained in the Ulthule Approach. We hope you enjoy our Governance Program and actively apply the principles learned here during this unique one day learning experience.
