Elkiem, led by Andy Meikle, has a unique and in-depth understanding of human high performance.This understanding is born out of over 20 years of research. Research that was initially driven by Andy's interest in understanding what sets high achieving individuals apart from the rest and has evolved into a desire to pinpoint and understand the dynamics that exist within certain environments that result in very high performance amongst the individuals within those environments.Our research into high performing individuals encompasses one-on-one interviews with many of the world's pre-eminent thinkers, scientists, physicians, sports people, academics, religious leaders and artists. Many are famous, others are well known only to those within their own field – but all are highly accomplished.Our research into high performing environments has taken us to the some of the world's elite institutions – Harvard, MIT, NASA, Juilliard, The Royal College of Music to find out what it is that sets these environments apart.The culmination of all Elkiem's research is the HPES™. The HPES™ is our way of explaining the specific circumstances that trigger improved performance in human beings.
