Our Approach to Leadership and Organisation Development
Systemic Appreciative Inquiry of 9Ps
We approach change holistically by balancing the various elements on the different levels systemically within the organisation. We apply both diagnostic and dialogic methods to bring about an emergent change. At the core of our dialogic approach is Appreciative Inquiry. Here are the inquiries at the different levels of system
Group level:
- Are the various groups aligned to the company's overall purpose as its positive core?
- Is there clarity of the formal and informal power structure in the group to leverage on your movers and shakers?
- What patterns of behaviour have become norms in the company that are in service to the group now?
Team level:
- Where is the team in terms of stages of development, and how are we leveraging on our diversity & positive tension to deliver high team performance ?
- What effective communication processes are in place to channel conflicts into creative energy as communication is the currency in the world of relationships?
- What are some tensions surfacing as polarities in your team that are potential breakthroughs?
Individual level:
- Do you understand your personalities, beliefs, world views and defence mechanism that drives you? What motivates and gives your joy?
- What is the quality of your presence? Who are you when you are fully present?
- What practices support you in staying centred and grounded to create impactful interactions?
The above inquiry of the 9 Ps forms a map for deep dialogues to explore where you might need interventions to improve effectiveness. We offer consultancy & education by influencing these various elements in a holistic and systemic way.
Design Thinking Process
Incorporating Design Thinking Process which centres around human emotions & our compelling stories, we work with you to examine current situations by collecting objective data, understanding the "what is". We co-create with you and members concerned to generate ideas that can address your pain points to have a breakthrough. We test it out and iterate, together the team learn from their experiences and develop continuously.
Step by step changes ensures we stay nimble to adapt to the highly volatile and complex environment these days, thus avoiding an over-engineered solution which becomes obsolete the moment it is implemented. By leveraging on the diversity of expertise and personalities in our team, we build ownership to the change plans because everyone was a part of the creation process.
