Avatar begins by analyzing your organization, with an emphasis on your people. This allows us to understand your employees, process, procedures and environment. By gaining a solid understanding of what your company is all about, we can offer practical suggestions that help you reach your goals.
The Can Do – Will Do Model is an important tool that we use to better understand your employees. It helps us identify the most effective strategies and developing the most appropriate tools for improving job performance. It consists of six attributes that help define whether a person can and will do a particular job.
Three factors refer to whether an employee Can Do the job and three influence whether an employee Will Do the job. Only two factors, knowledge and skills, can be easily changed. That means you have to hire people who are already a pretty good match for the job in the other four areas.

Knowledge is what employees need to know, or should know. Knowledge is learned through education.
2
Skills are learned through training and practice.
3
Abilities are mental and physical traits.
4
Values are the principles and beliefs upon which a person bases decisions. They’re learned early in life and change very little in adulthood.
5
Motivations are the activities and rewards to which a person is attracted – money, prestige, job security, etc.
6
Personality refers to one’s disposition. It is the foundation of how one might react to situations or to other people. Personality traits influence a person’s willingness to do his or her job.
Using this proprietary model, Avatar defines the ideal attributes for the most important positions in your organization. The Can Do – Will Do Model provides the foundation for determining the most effective strategies for bringing about improved human performance.
