Three years ago, I embarked on ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ง๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ง ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ฎ๐ซ, ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ญ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ก๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ฌ that come with it. Transitioning from the comfort of financial stability and structured environments to the realm of risk and uncertainty was undoubtedly challenging.
However, amidst the challenges, I discovered ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง. ย These were moments when I witnessed teams fully embracing the journey, leveraging the comprehensive and adaptable ๐๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ง๐ ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ toolbox to navigate through process, system, organizational, behavioural, and cultural transformations.
During that journey, the ๐๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ง๐ ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ฐ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ซ๐ข๐๐ก๐๐ by more and more solutions. My favourite new offering is the „๐๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฆ,“ which emerged after discussions with a client on how to ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐๐๐ญ๐ a culture of ๐ฆ๐ข๐๐ซ๐จ-๐ฆ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ, often enforced from the top-down, by ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ bottom-up ๐จ๐ฐ๐ง๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐.
The program is designed to be efficient, requiring minimal time and effort. It begins with one-on-one interviews with participants for preparation, followed by a one-day workshop for the entire team. By addressing the ๐ญ๐๐๐ฆ’๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ข๐๐ข๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ข๐ง ๐ฉ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ directly, the program yields significant ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐ง๐๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ง๐ฌ ๐จ๐ง ๐ข๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ฌ๐จ ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ฅ ๐๐ง๐ก๐๐ง๐๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ.
Outlined in six steps, the program methodology is as follows:
1.ย ย Developing a ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง through one-on-one sense-making interviews.
2.ย ย Identifying the ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐ญ๐๐ฌ๐ค๐ฌ.
3.ย ย Identifying concrete ๐ฉ๐๐ข๐ง ๐ฉ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐๐๐ญ ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ฅ, whether they relate to processes, systems, people capabilities, or required inputs from other functions.
4.ย ย Collaboratively determining ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฌ to optimize resource utilization.
5.ย ย Providing training on crafting a “ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ญ๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ “ for the key criticalities to effectively address tensions and initiate improvement.
6.ย ย Offering training and concrete strategies for ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ค๐๐ก๐จ๐ฅ๐๐๐ซ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญt to influence other functions and ๐ฆ๐จ๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ towards desired outcomes.
Having successfully implemented that program with multiple teams, I am enthusiastic about extending this opportunity to others. If you believe your team could benefit from our ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฆ and you want to ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ ๐๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐ฒ, please don’t hesitate to reach out for an informal discussion.
