ABOUT
As we look around us, we find countless examples of organizations and 
individuals within them that are underperforming in relation to their 
expectations and of those who are adversely impacted by such 
underperformance. The gap between potential and performance is 
often mindboggling. It is this realisation and the urge to contribute 
towards addressing this problem, at a time when India is poised for 
moving centre stage in a world full of challenges, that has prompted 
Meleveetil Damodaran, a person with more than four decades of widely 
varied experience including leadership positions in several 
organisations, to set up Excellence Enablers. Excellence Enablers sees 
itself as a partner in the journey towards improved performance. A 
number of individuals with several decades of experience and a shared 
passionate commitment to excellence are a part of this endeavour.
Excellence Enablers seeks to bridge the gap between potential and 
performance in individuals by providing mentoring and coaching. For 
organisations, the customised offerings would include support in the 
form of improving Board performance, with inputs ranging from 
advising on Board composition to carrying out Board evaluation. 
training of directors, capsules on leadership, time management. 
Succession planning and organizational restructuring would be offered 
as part of a comprehensive package or on a stand-alone basis.
