One or two day in-house workshops to improve your organisation’s performance.
The workshops are very practical and can be tailored to your needs to produce specific results, or can be generic.
We practice with participants in small groups, applying principles to your organisation’s own problems.
| Workshop | Description |
|---|---|
| Implementing Strategy | An examination of the systemic reasons for failure of strategic initiatives; introduction to some systems-based tools and technique to raise understanding of how to set up initiatives for success, and a framework for managing successful initiatives. |
| Business process design & implementation | Business benefits from IT system implementations are often under-realised due to simplistic assumptions about process changes. This workshop examines how business benefits can be improved by a process innovation approach. |
| Scenario Planning | Businesses typically plan for the most likely future. ‘The only certainty is that the future will be different to what you expect’. The best strategies are the ones that can adapt to a range of possible futures. This workshop shows how to determine scenarios and select the best strategies. |
| Systems diagramming | Based on the powerful tool popularised by Peter Senge, this workshop provides a basic understanding of how to assemble system diagrams (sometimes called causal loop diagrams). System diagrams are invaluable in communicating and creating a common understanding of complex high-level business systems. |
| Implementing Program Management | We firstly distinguish the different focus of Programs compared to Projects – how Projects are about delivery and Programs about making sense of the complexity and uncertainty in the business environment and how it impact upon projects. We then consider the processes and techniques used by programs to manage in this environment. Then finally we review the skills required and the steps to implementing this approach in your organisation. |
| Change management | Leaders often take on ownership of strategic change management programmes because of their role. Change management is different from operational management, and is also different from project management. This workshop highlights the approach, tools and techniques used for managing successful change programmes. |
| Knowledge Management | Knowledge Management has been widely undersold as IT systems. This workshop focuses on what knowledge management, in its organisational sense, can do for your enterprise, and what principles and key components are necessary for its success. |
