The AFFINITY Formula
What is the AFFINITY Formula?
The AFFINITY formula is a paradigm that positions mindful leadership at the core of success, creating a ripple effect that leads to engaged team members, satisfied customers, and, consequently, long-term sustainable business growth.
Here’s how it breaks down:
ACCEPTANCE: By recognizing and validating the customer’s concern.
FRIENDLINESS: Through empathetic and amicable interactions.
FAIRNESS: By ensuring a resolution that respects the interests of both parties.
INTEGRITY: By upholding the company’s values throughout the resolution process.
NURTURING: By turning conflict into an opportunity to strengthen the customer relationship.
INNOVATION: By exploring creative solutions to meet customer needs.
TIMELINESS: By working efficiently towards a quick resolution.
YESMANSHIP: By fostering a solution-focused mindset and making things possible within the company’s capabilities.
The Transformation into AFFINITY OS
The journey from a formula to a platform was inspired by the pressing need to quantify and act upon these principles. How can we apply the AFFINITY formula in real-world scenarios?

When I read “Dashboards are Dead”, a recent ThoughtSpot headline, it made me cringe.
Our product, AFFINITY OS™, uses dashboards to visualize the data our AI engine collects from customers/members and team members of our clients’ businesses. Did this mean we needed to rethink the UX, and/or the BI (Business Intelligence) that brings our data into focus?
