My
mission is to partner with you to tap the wisdom of the people who
can help you achieve your organizational mission. We’ll do this by using
a holistic approach to creating systems and processes that facilitate high
participation.
You
probably already know the benefits of increasing the level of participation in
your organization:
- employees buy in to new programs, increasing their chance for
success
- employees own their projects, increasing the quality of their
work
- employee job satisfaction and morale increases, reducing turnover
and absenteeism
- opportunities for learning and mentoring increase, leading to a
more skilled workforce
- management and employees develop leadership skills, improving the
effectiveness of teams
- more and better ideas are generated
- the needs of internal and external customers are better understood,
increasing efficiency and sales
- the views of all stakeholders are considered, leading to higher
quality decisions
What you
may not know are the benefits of a holistic approach:
- “system-wide” thinking is developed, allowing cross-pollination
between departments
- the whole person is invited to contribute, so emotional
intelligence is tapped
- all of the internal and external resources available to the
organization are considered—even the spirit of the organization
- all of the relevant factors relating to an issue are considered, so
that nothing is left out that might undermine the solutions down the road
- the key areas of your organization are evaluated and discussed,
leading to breakthroughs in how they can work together
- the purpose, mission, and vision are clarified, empowering you to
get where you want to go
- the structures and behaviors within the organization are examined
in light of the purpose and mission, revealing the source of many problems
and how they can be fixed
The
methods are simple, but the results are profound. They are not only
useful for organizations; they are valuable for individuals, teams, and communities
as well.
Please contact me so that we can talk about whether this approach makes sense
for your organization. The collective wisdom of your employees awaits!
