The Technology
There is a specific technology we employ in designing and tailoring the way we work with each organization.
The principles of that technology are:
- Organizational cultures shape the reality within which people work;
- The perceptions people have about their workplace very much determine their commitment in the workplace;
- You cannot buy commitment or scare people into being committed;
- The most potent way to maximize performance is to create a cultural climate in which people want to be committed, and then provide them the training, skills and resources to get the job done;
- If you wish to change the culture of an organization, you must first deal with the way people interact within that organization and build a level of communication that is very distinct from what one calls normal or ordinary communication;
- There needs to be clearly defined objectives and strategies that are meaningful and relevant – not just something that is written down and filed away;
- Speaking and listening are the keys to action; and
- Have people take on projects that require creating a breakthrough to accomplish.
Our Approach
Our approach to organizational transformation consists of several stages, each custom designed for our clients.
They include:
- Need analysis;
- Series of sessions designed to create or redefine relevant missions, objectives, strategies and actions;
- Follow-up individual coaching designed to empower strengths and resolve weaknesses;
- Team building sessions and leadership workshops; and
- Specific projects focused on producing measurable results that positively impact the bottom line.
