We support leaders initiating organizational change with a process that strongly aligns
them with their teams for the work ahead, right from the onset.

Approach
Needed organizational
change is much more likely
to occur when everyone is
involved at the same time,
from the beginning,
understanding the need for
a different approach and
having a role in shaping
whatever changes.
Our approach is to foster
alignment for needed
change, resisting the
temptation to start by
creating a strategy first
with the leaders of the
organization before
reaching out to teams that
report to them.

We find that most organizations run the risk of having their leaders and teams evolve at a
different pace which diminishes the benefit of the change effort by creating
discouragement, frustration, mistrust and skepticism.
We recommend therefore a rolling approach that begins at the top and follows the
following protocol
- Leaders and team members complete the scans.
- They meet to understand their organizational reality, explore potentials and commit
to action.
- Results of scans and meeting help define the needed leadership coaching.
- Each team member begins to plan the scans and meeting with his/her own team.
Outcomes
In a matter of weeks, the process can be implemented and reach several tiers into the
organizations. No time is spent on lengthy interviews, compilation of results, interpretation
of results. Team members practice self-management from the start. The assessment and
benchmarking methods are easy to understand and transparent, and provide a framework
for more productive interactions.
Key Benefits
- Change impact begins from the first engagement
- Little time and costs are expended in getting started: real work begins at once
- Organizational data needed for context is streamlined through the use of scans that:
- Clearly brings out everyone’s perspective in relation to the whole group.
- Produces easy to understand metrics and allows for a measure of progress
over time.
- Generates consistent benchmarks to evaluate which teams need support.
- Informs the goals and perspective for ongoing coaching and team facilitation.
