HOW WE DO IT
“Clarity and focus release potential.”
As data driven scientists, we focus on diagnosing your key challenges and start points before identifying the cure.
With clarity, focus and empathy we uncover insights and activate potential. We help generate the energy it takes to transform business and progress purposefully. The goal – to deliver results while balancing current work commitments and challenges.
OUR APPROACH
This will differ according to your challenge or need, but will typically include working with you to:
We will help you shift from your ‘As Is’ to where you need to be
UNIQUE TO US
Some say our ‘unique’ is to do with our Models….
Many of our theories, models and practices have been developed and honed in house. Our backgrounds and experience have us blending established behavioural concepts with modern needs. We use these skills to create something bespoke for your challenges.
Model of Integration
Model of Integration
A way to analyse and manage change
- 3 spheres of organisational influence – Organisational Entity, Organisational Practice, Individuals & Teams
- Change can be initiated in any one sphere
- For change efforts to be successful, they must complement and support processes in all 3 so that they work in harmony
Why it’s important:
Quite simply, 70% of organisation change efforts fail (McKinsey)
The Model of Integration suggests that managing change is about managing the complex interactions between the three spheres. Managing change effectively, requires that you take a critical view of the organisation and take account of the impact of change in one sphere on the others.
Model of Alignment
Model of Alignment
A means to align roles & behaviours with an organisation’s purpose & goals
- Clarifies how teams and individuals fit in and contribute to the bigger organisational picture
- Connects individual behaviour and results
- Identifies organisational mission/purpose as the guiding light for what people do
- Reduces the amount of overlap & underlap between roles
Why it’s important:
In the UK, 57% employees report not being given clear directions.
Worldwide, only about half of employees strongly agree that they know what is expected of them at work (Gallup). Employees can’t meet performance goals when they don’t know exactly what’s expected of them.
Model of Commitment
Model of Commitment
Identifies 4 things leaders need to focus on to build commitment/engagement among their staff
- Provide direction
- Build competence
- Promote influence
- Give recognition
- Do these 4 things and you will get people to want to do what they have to do
- Culturally, this develops confidence and trust, creating a virtuous/ reinforcing cycle with commitment
Why it’s important:
75% of workers who voluntarily leave their jobs do so because of their boss (Gallup).
People leave managers not companies. In spite of how good a job may be, people will quit if the reporting relationship is not healthy.
Model of You
Model of You
A way of thinking about personal development and employee engagement
- A spiral… you are starting out
- Take positive effective action and you move up the spiral
- Something happens, you fall back, but you are still above where you started
- Take further positive action, you move higher up the spiral… and so on
Why it’s important:
Companies with highly engaged employees outperform their competitors by 147%.
Disengaged employees cost the UK £52-70 billion in lost productivity each year. In the US the annual cost is $480 billion. Engaged employees may be the greatest competitive advantage an organisation can have.
UNIQUE TO US
Others say our ‘unique’ is to do with the Energy we bring and our Mindset….
People
You come first. Sometimes you need someone to bounce ideas off, ask advice from or think through all the issues. We’ve got you. We will give you our care and respect, our attention and our ideas. We will help you find the path that is right for you and support you along the way to create meaningful, lasting results. We believe that you can achieve almost anything you set your mind to.
Data Geeks
Our smarts are always on tap. You have access to our combined knowledge and experience of human behaviour and business, our theoretical models, tools and techniques. Use them. Your leadership development and the mastery of new skills and behaviours will play a critical part in getting you to where you want to go.
Leaning In
We have your back. Things will not always go smoothly, but we will persist. There will be times when things do not go as anticipated. At other times, you may not like what we have to say. But we will turn up. We will stay engaged. We will encourage you to do the same with whatever it is that you are trying to do. We will always be in your corner. Together we will press forward.
The Long Game
We help you go big picture. It’s all too easy to get bogged down in the tactical, day to day and hum drum. Our horizons become short, we forget our vision, we forget to dream. The big picture brings perspective and provides motivation. Your vision is the reason why you are prepared to commit to devoting the time and effort to disrupt some aspect of your work or life positively. Remember the why.
Celebration
And not that song played at weddings! With all that goes on in life, it is common simply to move on to the next thing on the ‘to do’ list. The achievement of milestones, a new job, the completion of a major project gets taken for granted. We believe in punctuation, not just commas and full stops, but marking the completion of events, registering what has happened and closing the circle with a celebration. We believe in the importance of enjoying the journey.
