Implementing transactional competence Flashcards
What is transactional competence?
Transactional Competence™ offers a knowledge and behavior framework designed to guide individuals, teams, and enterprises toward prosperous transactions that can scale.
Implementing Transactional Competence means training and developing ourselves, teams, and companies to be fitter and fitter to engage in successful and efficient exchanges. This framework easily reframes our interpersonal, social, and economic pursuits toward productive cooperation.
Transactional Competence promotes ambition, cooperation, and alignment across large
numbers of individuals or teams. It was developed by and for practitioners and is grounded in
the philosophy of Transactionalism. In this philosophy, human interactions are best understood as a set of simple to complex transactions.
While commonly assumed to be a tit-for-tat trade, a transaction is a reciprocal and coconstitutive
cycle of eight primary exchanges aimed at satisfying (or at learning to become fit
to satisfy) the multiple and interlocking Conditions of Life™, including health, activity, money,
knowledge, education, relationship, career, ethics, and more. Too much attention on any one
condition will eventually threaten others. This is true for individuals, organizations, and
societies.
A “transactionalist” considers an “un-fractured observation” of life as an organism that is influenced by and is influencing its
environment or ecology. By considering the self as an organism inseparable from its environment, hyphenated as “organismenvironment,”
we begin to see ourselves as aspects of larger systems rather than separate and independent entities.
Influential U teaches individuals and teams to leverage differences, optimize performance, and accelerate results using a personalityattentive,
transactional framework. Whether you know it or not, you are always transacting. When you do it well - you, your team,
and your initiative - thrive.
Creating buy in for transactional competence
Transactional Competence has gained global recognition for almost 15 years through word of mouth. Its widespread expansion is
due, in part, to the transformative view the framework produces for all involved.
Individuals who take part in this approach experience personal growth, improved financial stability, and increased
satisfaction.
Organizations that embrace Transactional Competence see accelerated progress, overcome dysfunction, and are quicker to
bring their products to market.
Teams that adopt this approach discover a renewed sense of purpose and enthusiasm as they recognize the value of their
roles in more significant transactions.

Digital Badge
Once your learners have completed their course, they will receive an automated email from Credly inviting them to claim their
credentials. This digital badge will contain information describing the certificate, allowing them to easily share this achievement on
LinkedIn and other platforms. Learners can email a link, embed the badge almost anywhere, and download a PDF certificate to
share with employers and the world.
We are committed to providing you and your students with the tools necessary to achieve your professional goals. We understand
that communicating your credentials in an ever-expanding online marketplace can be challenging. That is why we have partnered
