A series of highly interactive workshops designed to help managers and individual contributors become more effective business partners by giving them access to powerful concepts that enable them to understand how organizations grow, why they age, and how to change them.

The following workshops are currently available:

• Diagnosing your Organization:
  Understand why your organization has the problems it has. Which problems are normal? Which are pathological and need remediation? How do organizations grow, age, and renew themselves? What can you as a business partner do to help your management team understand problems from a lifecycle perspective? How can you help your organization avoid the pitfalls of organizational atrophy?
  
  
• Aligning Your Organization:
  Understand breakthrough approaches to aligning your organization’s purpose, mission, and strategies and assuring that the organization is structured appropriately to drive execution. Learn how to align metrics and rewards in your organization to cement behaviors and assure implementation.
  
  
• Improving Your Organization:
  Become familiar with tried and true concepts and methods for assuring that implementation happens in your organization. Understand how to clearly assign responsibilities, task teams, facilitate change, and assure execution.
  
  
• Powerful Facilitation:
  Today, more than ever, teams play a critical role in the lives of effective organizations -- empowering employees, generating needed change, and producing innovative solutions to complex problems. Skilled facilitation is a resource such organizations cannot do without.

  This workshop and accompanying materials bring together both theory and practice to create a comprehensive reference for anyone whose role is to guide groups toward realizing their creative and problem solving potential.

  The following critical skills can be enhanced through this workshop:

1. Skillfully lead meetings and facilitate work sessions with work groups and teams to solve problems more efficiently and effectively and develop conversations needed to promote change.

2. Influence groups to create the conditions that support effective working relationships across the organization.

3. Work comfortably with groups across various organizational boundaries.

This program is fast-paced, highly interactive workshop targeted at professionals from any discipline. The curriculum for each workshop includes some lecturing but the majority of the work involves small group exercises
