The top team’s annual strategic off-site differs from all other meetings in its potential impact on the company. That’s why it should be designed and managed differently.

Silos may be the most universal problem facing large organisations. They cause people who are supposed to be on the same team to work against each other, paralysing performance. At the organisational level they separate work teams, departments and divisions. More on Desilonisation Program.

Strategic Partnerships and Collaborative Networks

Today, strategic partnerships and collaborative networks are replacing hierarchy as the dominant organising structure for work.

2. Making People stronger

Irresistible Leadership Program

Imagine an organisation where everyone understands themselves and their talents deeply, where they understand what makes their clients and colleagues tick and have the skills to relate far better. This is what this product promises.

Staff Empowerment Process

The most productive organisation is one where people do the right things, at the right time, because they want to, without being instructed.

Peer-to-Peer Development

Voted by HBR as one of the 20 “breakthrough ideas for 2006”. Instead of relying entirely on the wisdom of anointed experts, peer-to-peer development assumes that people often learn best from peers who share the same daily struggles of front-line professionals like themselves. Furthermore, peer conversations provides emotional and practical support.

Team Development

A MAJOR OPPORTUNITY! 80 percent of workers feel they are not using their strengths on a daily basis. Developing your team can release this energy and productivity!

Middle Management Development

Many middle managers have been promoted without proper training. They may have been good analysts, policy people or whatever but they may not know much about managing people.

Customer Service Training

This product gets everyone crystal clear about how to astonish your customers.

Customer Focus Groups Videoed

There are lots of consultants who could run your customer focus groups, what makes us different is that we video them, then you can show every staff member what their clients think about them and your business.

Project Teams

Project Teams are the new way of organising work. Research shows that in a fast moving environment work is more effective when carried out in project teams rather than in traditional jobs - but they need to be set up properly.

Service quality programmes that make every person 100% customer focused are at the heart of all great organisations.
