innovation through systems coaching
Identify, explore and enable innovation through Systems CoachingIn a time of austerity, radical change and efficiency savings one thing is for sure – we need to achieve more for less. This means doing things differently, because doing more of the same is unsustainable in the new environment.
Organisations are facing more complex challenges such as step change in performances, aspirations for resilience and improvement, less available funding, higher client / customer expectations, need for radical innovation and change, managing the effects from restructures....etc.
Many organisations simply do not possess the culture, perception, insights, system theory thinking skills and processes necessary to identify and release trapped potential efficiencies and innovation. Exasperating the situation is a growing reluctance to employ consultants due to affordability and perceived value; many of whom under the veneer are similarly grappling with the effects of increasing organisational complexity. There is an emerging risk of cultural grid lock where the cultural behaviours lock and limit the opportunity to un-tap efficiencies & innovation.
To release this grid lock - a step change in organisational thinking, empowerment and affordable access to specialist skill, insight and process is necessary.
Systems Coaching – an affordable, sustainable alternative to employing consultants
Systems Coaching can shadow and support an improvement team or initiative bringing specialist insight associated with complex project management, innovation, culture change, systems thinking, organisation design and coaching. This specialist blend of skill, insight and experience is uncommon in many organisations and also in many technical consultancies e.g. specialising in partnering, cost management, IT consulting and procurement. A key benefit that makes systems coaching a sustainable solution is that it up-skills internal change managers – action learning during the projects - to develop the wider and deeper responses that required for the challenges of today.
It begins through a series of interviews, and a blue sky workshop associated with a high spending department or function e.g. Asset Management, Repairs & Maintenance, Housing, Care or regeneration.
Benefits: Affordable - High Value Adding - Empowering - Capability building
