Products Supported by Bruce Holland

1. Making organisations stronger

1. Strategy Workshops. Off-sites that Work. Strategy Facilitation. Bruce is one of New Zealand?s top facilitators, however he is far more than just a top facilitator; he also has deep business strategy knowledge and experience.

2. Strategic Alignment Process. This product shows you how to align your organisation's Culture, Service delivery, Brand and Leadership to your Value Proposition, so that all components are working together rather than pulling apart.

3. Strategy Execution Process. 76% of change processes fail, and they usually fail during execution. This shows you how to execute your plan so it succeeds.

4. How to Establish a Clear Purpose/Mission and Vision. Without a clear purpose and vision, staff will be confused and customers will see you as wishy-washy.

5. Organisational Values. When Bruce was the Strategic Planning Manager at the BNZ, part of his job was to run a highly successful project to get 6500 staff agreeing on the values for the Bank. He has taken these lessons and turned them into a product that you can use.

6. DeSILOnisation Program. 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. If you're sick of infighting and battles over budgets, titles and responsibility for mistakes you need Strategic Partnerships and Collaborative Networks.

2. Making People stronger

1. Irresistible Leadership Program is available as an In-house Program (turn your top team into irresistible leaders), and as a Public Program so individual managers learn the secrets.

2. Herrmanns Thinking Preferences helps everyone understands themselves and their talents deeply, and what makes their clients and colleagues tick.

3. 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.

4. Team Development. 80 percent of workers feel they are not using their strengths on a daily basis. Release this energy and productivity!

5. 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.

6. Customer Service Training and Service Quality. How to astonish your customers.

7. Customer Focus Groups Videoed. Don't just hold a focus group, video them, then show every staff member what their clients think about them.

8. Project Teams. Research shows that work is more effective when carried out in project teams rather than in traditional jobs - but they need to be set up properly.

9. Open Space Technology is a way to hold meetings of up to 500 people at one time and give everyone a say. It's a great way to open up the organisation and build energy levels quickly.

10. Action Learning Groups to set up small groups of people throughout your organisation, all learning together, in a self directed process, on work related problems of common concern.

11. Product Development and Innovation make the fuzzy end of your innovation process 9 times more effective.

12. Making Your Corporate Service Team Stronger. Many corporate service departments see themselves in a diminished or inferior way; a tiny fraction of the value they could be to the organisation. This product changes all that.

13. Mentoring Senior Managers?. Even Tiger Woods needs a coach. To find out how more, download http://www.virtual.co.nz/PDFs/mentoringseniormanagers.pdf
