Until Behaviour Changes, Nothing Changes

24/2/2020

If you are serious about organisational change you have to rely on getting people to act differently.  There is little point just talking about change – it needs actually doing something, and that means behaving differently.
 
Here are some questions you need to consider testing if you are really serious about implementing change. We focus on four key areas:
 
1. Setting Specific Focus
2. Assessing the responsiveness of your Business
3. Using Best Practise in Culture Change
3. Understanding that Improvement only comes through Behaviour Change

 
1. Setting Specific Focus
 
  • Do you know the specific behaviours that make a difference and create a highly performing organization?
  • How would you replace 'command and control' oriented management with trust, empowerment and cross-functional working? 
  • How much difference would it make to your business if you knew how to build a high-performance business culture?  What would it do for your organization and your future?
  • How can you use 'speed of response' as your core competitive differentiator, focusing upon doing everything better, faster, more efficiently and effectively than your competition?
  • When you kick-start and drive this approach so it becomes the dominant culture, what will it do for your results and your staff?
 
2. Assessing the responsiveness of your Business
 
  • How many levels of management do you have in your business?  If it is as many as 3 or 4 levels, then there are too many - it slows down response and customer reaction time
  • If you work in the service or public sector would you like to know how best to organize self and others to produce totally customer or consumer centric ethos and performance?
  • How much management time is wasted dealing with poor performers, rather than Coaching your 'highflyers' to develop profitable new business, winning new customers and clients?
  • How many signatures and lines of approval and bureaucracy are needed to have even the most basic requisition agreed? 
  • Would you prefer that managers invested their time in developing others to challenge and improve service delivery, or just keep up with the same tedious transactions that do little to add to performance?
 
3. Using Best Practise in Culture Change
 
  • We can work with you to shape the core characteristics of successful organizational change.
  • We can install the core behaviours with your senior and middle managers.
  • Would you like to see how strategies can be adapted and applied to your organization so they can be made to work for you?
  • Do you know that leaders of the organization, who want to improve ROI and results in the short and long-term, can do so quickly by using Rapid Improvement?

4. Understanding that Improvement only comes through Behaviour Change
 
  • We can demonstrate how everyone can input their creativity, talent and energy into the process
  • We can support you to focus on leading change through specially trained Facilitators taking days, not months, to develop 
  • We can work with your Facilitators to practise, rehearse and apply the principles - so that change is seamless and painless
  • Change can take as long as you want it to take –If you want results in six-eight weeks, let us work with you to design a measurable process to achieve that.
  • Would it be valuable for you to sustain the drive in cultural change and maintain the momentum and enthusiasm along the way?
