Creating Focused Change Programme

Your organisation will grow in the direction your people focus their attention. This programme builds on the output from the Increased Engagement Programme, and identifies what is working well and creates a plan for doing more of it.

Our specialist consultants use 'appreciative inquiry' to guide teams in creating a positive future, built on the core values your staff identified in previous programmes.

The four stage approach of appreciative inquiry - discover, dream, design and deliver - is equally applicable to teams or individuals.

Although humans have proven themselves to be remarkably adaptable, our brains are programmed to be comfortable with the status quo. However, our adaptability partly comes from our ability to 'rewire', when the right stimulus comes along. The methodology underpinning the Creating Focused Change Programme creates the stimulus that leads to this helpful rewiring.

Appreciative inquiry provokes positive focus, shared values and committed action. As a direct result, individuals or teams have the opportunity - and responsibility - of generating and owning their solution. This is a dramatically different process from being told what to do, in orders handed down from higher management.

The programme starts with a discovery phase, the purpose of which is to identify stories illustrating your organisation's core values. These values act as a compass, guiding you to your goals. All systems contain at least some elements that work well. Our consultants help you unearth these and use them as part of your future. This investment in clarifying your values and goals helps reduce misunderstanding and lack of commitment. Appreciative inquiry encourages a democratic approach to organisational development. 

The Creating Focused Change Programme creates sustainable, shared goals, values and actions. It results in individuals and teams finding new possibilities within current environments and putting in motion new strategies and ideas.
