Hear more about Convergent Performance from our amazing team.
The Story Behind Our Logo
The name Convergent is illustrated by the blue chevrons behind the sword and represents our ability to bring multiple disciplines, ideas, and people together through diversity of thought. The wingtips of the chevron grow stronger as they converge—different ideas coming together to forge something greater. This synergy continues to gain power as it moves towards the tip of the sword, where the best ideas and concepts are honed into new products, tools, and services, ready for action in the real world.
The word Performance speaks for itself but prompts us that talent and ability must be utilized every day to have a positive impact on the mission. Further, it serves as a reminder that yesterday’s performance is no guarantee—or often even a reliable predictor—of what might occur today. In the war against error, we wake up every day on the front lines and our weapons must be strong, sharp, and accessible.
The sword represents our uncompromising attitude in the fight against any obstacle that stands in the way of world-class performance in ourselves or our customers. Some will also note that this image reminds them of Excalibur, the sword in the stone from the legend of King Arthur. This is no accident.
In Robert de Boron’s book, Merlin, Arthur obtains the throne by pulling a sword from a stone, an act that could not be performed by anyone except "the true king." It is our philosophy that everyone fights most effectively with weapons ideally suited to them as an individual—be that the sword of a king, the sling of a shepherd boy facing a giant named Goliath, or you and I facing the challenges of day-to-day life.
In another Arthurian legend, Excalibur is said to be engraved with the words “one edge to defend” on one side of the steel blade and “one edge to defeat” on the other. We agree that to effectively combat error—the eternal enemy of performance—individuals and organizations must play both offense and defense at all levels of the fight. We pursue this line of attack throughout all our products and services.
Our Vision:
One in which, everyone has access to the information and tools they need to perform at their true best, in both their personal and professional lives.
About Convergent Performance
Convergent Performance was founded to optimize the performance of every individual in all aspects of their personal and professional lives. We are passionate about this goal, and our founders have spent over three decades pursuing science-based solutions for human error and lost potential. In a word, we believe in personal mastery.
In a world that has gone all-in on system solutions and technology, we remain steadfast in our belief that people still are the critical fulcrum of success or failure. We do not believe that the human is the weakest link in any system, and in fact are more convinced than ever that the amazing adaptability of the trained human mind remains unmatched—and unmatchable—in solving problems and seizing new opportunities. That is what we do.
We focus on engagement, because we understand that the rapid evolution of social media and passive mindsets has led to the atrophy of our ability to think critically, and more important, the motivation to improve our thinking process. We are dedicated to reversing this trend of intellectual laziness.
We want to create a future in which everyone has access to the information and tools they need to perform at their true best, in both their personal and professional lives.
These values drive us forward:
Restoring Accountability
Restoring personal accountability in the age of big technology, big data, and big systems.
Empowering Individuals
Empowering individuals to grow where they are, with the resources at hand.
The Pursuit of Mastery
