Leadership - Propelling Performance through People

Organisational Development

"When you ask people about what it is like being part of a great team, what is most striking is the meaningfulness of the experience.    People talk about being part of something larger than themselves, of being connected, of being generative."  Senge.

Does your business or organisation experience any of the following:

  • Alignment challenges?
  • Challenges in transforming the vision into successful strategy and execution?
  • Silo operation, where learning across disciplines is a challenge?
  • Challenges in anticipating and responding to seismic changes in the business space?
  • A lack of cohesion and leadership capability at all levels.
  • Challenges in identifying talent and succession planning?

Would your business or organisation benefit from an approach that:

  • Solidifies organisational leadership around the organisation's vision, values, purpose and strategy?
  • Aligns the organisation, promoting clarity of messaging throughout the organisation?
  • Enhances your ability to respond quickly and uniformly to strategic shifts?
  • Supports talent identification?
  • Increases team cohesion and leadership capability at all levels?
  • Identifies opportunities for enhanced organisational effectiveness as key business functions are examined continually in an open, structured environment?
  • Grows the capacity, confidence, competence and capability of your leaders?

Organisational Leadership Development Solutions:

Nine Conversations in Leadership™ is a Worldsview intervention that acts as a catalyst for long-term development of leaders.  It is applicable at all levels of an organisation, and is firmly rooted in the organisation's context.

The intervention comprises 9 facilitated conversations within a small peer group, the purpose of which is to share and learn from each other's challenges and co-create ideas and solutions from shared learning and wisdom.  Central axioms are how leaders exercise "choice" and develop "influence".

Conventional programmes often make the mistake of isolating the team from their work environment or equipping them with theory that may not be relevant, resulting in a bigger chasm in the leadership divide.   The Worldsview intervention turns this approach upside down, by reinforcing the importance of the organisational context, beginning with a Statement of Intent - by asking the client very specifically what they want to achieve with this leadership cell.  This may require facilitation, to frame the issues correctly, and may be quite cathartic in itself. 

The intervention operates in 3 dimensions:  organisational, leading others, and leading self and include activities and dialogue that address the realms of knowledge, being and doing (known as Heads, Hearts and Hands).   Conventional programmes look at Self first - we don't. By undertaking the other modules first, delegates begin to appreciate what they must do themselves to meet these challenges and deliver their objectives.   Throughout the intervention, performance is monitored and managed through the Learning Management System.
