The Taylor Protocols: Putting the CVI to Work for Your Business

Discover the complete suite of Taylor Protocols that transform the Core Values Index into actionable business optimization strategies for hiring, team building, and conflict resolution.

Revolutionary Business Optimization Technology

The Taylor Protocols represent a complete suite of business optimization technologies built on the foundation of the Core Values Index. These protocols were developed through over 400 business turnaround and restructuring projects, creating practical tools that connect people’s inner nature with the tasks required by their jobs.

At the heart of this technology is a simple truth: putting the right person in the right seat, the first time, almost every time, makes business management simpler. This single business skill contributes more to human productivity and business profits than any business tool, system, philosophy, or automation technology.

The Performance Problem Every Business Faces

Taylor Protocols has shown that the 80/20 principle is widespread in almost every position, in every company, across all industries. The typical performance bell curve shows 10% A performers, 15% B performers, 50% C performers, and 25% D performers. This results in an almost uniform 33% human capital efficiency.

This factor in business creates the single biggest opportunity for increased growth and profits. The Taylor Protocols address this opportunity head-on with scientifically validated methods that shift the performance bell curve significantly in favor of higher human productivity.

Employment Pre-Selection Science (EPSS)

The revolutionary Employment Pre-Selection Science puts the objective screening of candidates for employment into the very front of the hiring process. Unlike traditional hiring that relies on resumes, interviews, and gut feelings, EPSS uses the CVI to match candidates’ inner natures with job requirements before investing time in interviews.

This approach dramatically reduces the costs of the hiring process while delivering significantly greater profits through improved hiring accuracy. Companies using EPSS report hiring top performers consistently rather than hoping for the best.

Top Performer Profile (TPP)

The Top Performer Profile process identifies the exact core values combination that predicts success in any specific role. By analyzing your current top performers in a position, the TPP creates a scientific benchmark that can be used to screen all future candidates.

This isn’t about finding people who are similar in personality or background—it’s about finding people whose inner nature aligns with the demands of the role. When you match the right core values profile to the right job, you create conditions for top performance.

Human Capital Audit

The Human Capital Audit examines your entire workforce to identify where people are positioned correctly and where misalignments exist. Often, performance problems attributed to lack of training are actually caused by wrong job fit. Sending employees to training for work that isn’t their “real work” is a lose-lose game.

When there is a mismatch between the work employees are performing and their innate capacities, performance outcome is less than optimal. The Human Capital Audit identifies these mismatches and provides a roadmap for realignment.

Task Distribution Protocol

Every job contains a variety of tasks, and not all tasks align equally with any single core values profile. The Task Distribution Protocol analyzes job responsibilities and distributes them according to team members’ core values strengths.

This ensures that each team member spends more time in their “flow state”—doing work that fully engages their inner nature. The result is higher productivity, greater job satisfaction, and improved team performance.

Conflict Resolution Protocol

Many workplace conflicts arise not from bad intentions but from core values differences. A Builder’s direct, action-oriented approach may clash with a Banker’s need for thorough analysis. A Merchant’s relationship focus may frustrate an Innovator’s drive for elegant solutions.

The Conflict Resolution Protocol provides a framework for understanding these differences and transforming potential conflicts into collaborative strength. When team members understand each other’s core values, they can appreciate different perspectives rather than resist them.

Business Relationship Dynamic

Beyond internal team dynamics, the Taylor Protocols address business relationships with clients, partners, and stakeholders. Understanding the core values profiles of key relationships allows for more effective communication and collaboration.

Sales teams use this protocol to align their approach with client needs. Partnership negotiations benefit from understanding each party’s core motivations. Leadership teams build stronger strategic alliances when they understand the values driving their counterparts.

The Science Behind the Protocols

The Taylor Protocols draw on Lynn Taylor’s engineering background in speech recognition software development. This foundation in precision measurement, combined with decades of real-world application across hundreds of companies, enables objective, repeatable results.

With 94% or greater repeat score reliability, the CVI measures something fundamentally stable—the unchanging inner nature that determines where each person fits best and can make their highest contribution.
