ALIGNING PEOPLE WITH PURPOSE
 

OUR APPROACH

Peak performance requires that everybody is pulling in the same direction - this requires "aligning people with purpose". Achieving alignment as part of a change or improvement initiative requires their active participation from the outset. This is what builds the ownership and commitment which are invariably absent when so many change initiatives fail. This involvement starts at the diagnostic phase of change.

Traditional diagnostic approaches often alienate the very people who will be responsible for bringing about change - whether it's a board, an executive team, or a front-line or middle management group. This can lead to defensiveness, cynicism and a lack of ownership. Implementation proceeds slowly, at best.

A participative approach (as illustrated on the right) solves these problems from the outset and delivers significant competitive advantage. Using the best modern tools and techniques, participants take ownership of issues, and solutions are quickly established. Desired future states are achieved much sooner, delivering significant competitive advantage.

Over several years, we have developed processes based on this insight and the experience gained from having facilitated over a hundred diagnoses and action planning sessions in a wide range of organizations.

Because our processes are very fast and efficient when compared to traditional approaches, we typically only need three to six hours working with a group to assist them in probing deeply into the trickiest situations. We deliver a comprehensive report summarizing results and action plans within a matter of days.

What to expect when working with us:----

  • we'll help you decide what approach is right for you and your company,
  • we'll help you target the areas that are most likely to bring you the greatest benefits,
  • you'll get us, personally, not other people working under our direction, and
  • you'll get great value for your investment.

We think you'll be amazed at how much you find out in even one session, and how much you can do right away to increase your bottom-line.
