Organizational Consulting
Running an effective organization today requires leaders to balance between adapting to external changes rapidly and strengthening the foundation. While the former calls for strategic, tactical and process related shifts, the latter requires a shift in mindset, behavior, culture, and leadership. Today, the softer aspects of building an effective organization have become far more critical to enable strong teams that deliver.
Our consulting approach with organizations and teams globally is based on the foundation of facilitation and humble inquiry. We work hand-in-hand with stakeholders to clarify the contextual and strategic needs before facilitation conversations to assess the current reality, create shared understanding of improvement areas and co-create solutions. Through this process, we also enable people to build new skills, knowledge, and ways of thinking.
Our core values in organizational development consulting are:
- Facilitative Approach
- Deep Belief in Human Potential
- Systems Thinking
- Shared Understanding and Collective Learning
- Trust and Influence
- Co-created solutions
- Strategy Informs Plans
Our Approach
IDENTIFY >
We map the current reality by working closely with the internal stakeholders to understand:
- Where do we come from?
- Where are we today?
- Where do we need to be?
- What’s missing? What can be improved? What should be stopped? What needs to start?
This phase typically involves facilitating conversations and listening actively to things said and unsaid, in a conducive conversational space that we hold.
INTEGRATE >
We then integrate the shared understanding, identify patterns, synthesize the insights, and map the current reality to identify gaps, improvement areas and white spaces in current reality with respect to the strategic objectives of the organization, strategic site or a team.
The outcome of this phase is a prioritized backlog of areas to focus on as well as a parking lot for ideas with secondary priority. This phase is about assimilating and sense making with the big picture in mind.
IMPLEMENT
We engage the identified stakeholders within teams, functions or across functions to facilitate the conversation on solutions, possible experiments and learning requirements.
People in the context are best placed to solve the challenges because they have all the answers. We unlock those answers in line with prioritized focus areas and larger organizational mission. This is vital for eliciting team commitment to solutions and execution plans that they co-create.
