The Energy Curve™

The Core Performance Framework

The Energy Curve™ explains how hospitality performance behaves as pressure increases.

It shows why:

  • Teams burn out even when they care
  • Standards collapse under volume
  • "More training" stops working
  • Effort increases but results don't

And how to redesign environments so performance improves without demanding more from people.

The Energy Curve™ underpins:

  • Our performance engine licences
  • Leadership and operating systems
  • Enablement and reinforcement architecture
  • Our work with hotel groups and institutions

How Performance Is Applied
