You can’t stop the future. You can’t rewind the past. The only way to learn the secret is to press play.
Jane Asher
The future is coming and the past is done. Unlike the predictability of our parents’ and grandparents’ work lives, todays industries are transforming. Every business and every situation is unique. Goals and motivations are unique. People are unique – and often very unpredictable and increasingly diverse!
After 25 years in the business we’ve seen an increase in the number of people experiencing workplace stress. In great part, this is the result of trying to do today’s job with yesterday’s tools and yesterday’s concepts.
Our services and development programs are specifically designed to deliver leadership and interventions, organisational, team-based or individual, that respond effectively to the uniqueness of today’s, and tomorrow’s contexts.
We know that leadership styles and interventions impact on people, and people are the biggest impact on your bottom-line. While our services are people-focussed, our KPIs will deliver on your goals and bottom-line results.
We design our services so that they are fit for your purpose!
We do this by generating creative tension. Creative tension is a force at work in anyone who has taken the time to think deeply about the ideal life that they would like to live and to compare it to a brutally honest assessment of their current reality – the situation that they are actually living. The juxtaposition of where you want to be when compared with where you are, sets up a tension that pulls you forward. The theory of creative tension works equally well for individuals, teams and organisations alike. It has four stages:
- Identify the vision and goals. We really listen to you and your stakeholders so we are confident about what you want
- Use an evidence-base to clarify current reality. We use Harrison Assessments, bespoke surveys, Team Management Profiling and other feedback tools and techniques to help get the facts to ‘diagnose’ and understand your situation.
- Design a program to maximise your potential and that simultaneously harnesses latent energy while addressing barriers and context. We invest your money wisely so that you get a real and measurable return on your investment.
- Maintain the energy and momentum needed to achieve the vision and goals. Our professional coaches and facilitators expertly guide you and/or your team/s over time to build capability, hold people to account, troubleshoot problems and make change stick.
Our services employ a unique combination of consulting, adult learning, coaching, mentoring and facilitation. We’ll be there supporting your capability when you press “play”.
