Strategies for ChangeMy professional background is in strategic planning. Essentially a process of: 1) identify issues; 2) prioritise; 3) develop a strategic plan; 4) implement agreed actions, and 5) monitor progress. My expertise is in facilitating the development of corporate strategies to improve work/life issues such as work life balance (I prefer to talk about harmony), stress management, work/leisure skills development for work benefits, and transition from work to retirement (the non-financials). Changes to a workplace culture (or, "the way we do things here") cannot of course be resolved in a workshop. Such a workshop can, however, become the first stage in a strategy to evolve that culture further. Nor can it be imposed from above. Our processes recognize the fact that your organisation forms a mosaic (your design) of unique individuals. When it comes to personal lifestyle issues such as stress and work/life harmony, each individual has equal status in the organisation, irrespective of their position in the organisation. INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEES therefore need to provide the bulk of the information from which the strategy will evolve. Our seasoned experience in workshop or meeting facilitation ensures that any relevant workplace issues are raised in a harmonious environment. The process for developing a strategy will of course vary for each organization and for the type of work/leisure issues being considered – sometimes for each team within an organization. However the fundamental process is that the team leader and team members will work together to:
Of course, only you can decide how best to resolve your unique issues. Our role is to give you a sound process for arriving at your best solutions. You choose whether our participation is as little as conducting the workshops, through to facilitating the whole strategy development process.
