Shared clarity, inner commitment and realistic alignment of everyone involved build the foundation on which sustainable effectiveness and the realisation of visions are possible. Commonly, shared clarity and inner commitment are assumed as givens and organisations begin at the alignment phase. Only when problems lead to friction and blockages, and projects begin floundering, does it become clear that the other foundation stones are missing.
We initiate a disciplined process which anchors clarity and inner commitment as cornerstones of a culture of collaboration.
Clarity
Common goals and their individual consequences, diverse roles and matrix interfaces, personal and mutual expectations...
There are many factors that need clarity in an organisation in order to ensure effective and motivating cooperation. It is only possible to create a positive spirit of achievement if there is a shared basis of clarity and common understanding.
Buy-in
The best intention in the world is only worth as much as the willingness to implement it! This willingness is often much more dependant on the implementation process than on the intention itself.
We know from experience what are the most important acceptance factors and integrate these when designing processes in order to enable a maximum of buy-in.
Alignment
In every organisation managers and staff members, individuals and groups, locations and functions need to cooperate with each other in diverse and complex ways.
The coordination of all individual efforts, focusing them on common goals is the basis not only for operational success, but also for sustained personal motivation.To have this impact, successful coordination requires first a foundation of clarity and buy-in and is thus the end of a process (many organisations treat alignment as a starting point).
