ANALYSE AND ENHANCE ORGANISATIONAL CAPACITY

Perhaps you would agree: So often companies spend a lot of time, money and resources on developing business strategies to survive in a VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) world, but very few spend anywhere near enough time on the one element that can make or break the strategy: the people element. Why? The reluctance to do this is due to the lead time before results can be seen or measured.

We not only facilitate strategic sessions but also build a unique solution by combining our intellectual property with renowned diagnostic tools and techniques to enhance the capability and employee engagement of your organisation on different levels over a period. The results being yielded are exceptional as the process truly integrates individual performance with team performance and organisational culture. The solution can be delivered in partnership with the internal Human Capital practitioners who, by agreement, can be trained and licensed as facilitators.

RELATIONSHIP ENHANCEMENT

Two very important factors that can either enhance or break down relationships are Trust and Safety. The biggest mistake we can make is to THINK there is trust and safety between individuals, leaders and couples if we do not even know the real meaning of it. We facilitate and empower you to have honest conversations about what inhibits aligned and collaborative relationships.

IMPROVE EMPLOYEE & ORGANISATIONAL EFFICIENCY

In association with a very successful company we support our clients in the development and execution of their strategies. The proven methodology and approach enable our clients to identify key levers to the execution and pragmatic approach in the planning and implementation of these strategies. Our solutions include:

  • Strategy formulation & development
  • Cascading strategy
  • Operating model design
  • Organisational design
  • Organisational effectiveness
  • Role Profiling
  • Performance management

DEAL WITH CHANGE AND TRANSITION

The ability for you and your organisation to enable change and transition is a critical success factor to survive in today’s VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) world. We have developed a proven and pragmatic approach to support you and your key stakeholders in the business to plan and embed the transition.

Have you ever heard the phrase… “culture eats strategy for breakfast”? Culture requires sufficient time to grasp, but once embedded, it can be very difficult to shift. You have a risk, and the risk is that if you do not understand your company’s cultural dynamics, leaders can fall into the trap of attempting to use the same techniques trying to shift the culture with no success. We understand that cultural shifts cannot just happen in a single event, but should rather be carefully crafted and managed by well-planned transition journeys. Our interventions are deliberate processes designed to help you growing a strong and effective culture that will drive your business forward.
