For Executive Leaders

1. Build the capability of your team

To achieve excellence – to be as good as you can be and be improving faster than everyone else – your team need to move well beyond MBAs and Six-Sigma courses.

Colin has worked with more than 200 diverse organisations, each trying to find a way to meet challenging targets with limited resources. By crystallising the wisdom of many, Colin provides a practical pathway to change the leadership conversation and start the perpetual cycle of sustainable improvement. Each organisation’s needs are unique, but the initial time investment from your leadership team can be as little 4 – 6 half days over 6 months. Most learning actually comes from the practical application of new understanding, so there is little need for time away from business responsibilities. Regular individual follow-up sessions can be arranged to suit specific needs and maximise the rate of business improvement.

New understanding of the way organisations work and why they work that way lifts the value and insight from your conversations about strategy, direction and performance. More about strengthening your Capability . . .

Call today for a no obligation discussion about how Colin can help lift the capability of your team in practical, digestible steps over the next 3 – 6 months.

2. Build your team’s understanding of their strengths and opportunities

If your enterprise is running well and your leadership team are confident and competent, Colin will guide them through a half-day process using a Business Excellence Framework to evaluate what they do well, and where the opportunities lie for significant further refinement in their system of management. The outcome from this facilitated self-assessment workshop is then validated by analysis, site visits and interviews with a cross-section of staff. The findings are distilled into a comprehensive report designed to focus your priorities. Clients often repeat this process every one or two years to sustain their rate of improvement. More about exploring Opportunities for improvement . . .

This guided self-assessment process is designed to increase the capability of your team each time you do it. It’s essentially the reflection step of organisational learning, moderated by an expert in business excellence. Typically, it takes 6 weeks from the preparatory briefing through to publication of the validated report, so ideally, the workshop should be scheduled around a month prior to the annual strategy review.

3. Redefine and set up to achieve your goals

Insights from conversations and self-assessment are only of value if they are used to refine or re-direct the enterprise. Colin is an experienced facilitator of the initial decision-making process which sets the future direction based on the current performance and maturity of the enterprise, and the opportunities and threats identified in the business environment. Colin can help your leadership team gather the necessary information and analyse it in conjunction with the self-assessment report to define the best direction and priorities for your enterprise’s future success.
