Organisation, Team, Individual and Self.

The ‘ripple effect’ is our ‘systems thinking’

framework and an effective methodology

for growth.

The Seven Steps are:

All moving forward in the right direction

A proven approach.Where do we need to go and how are we going to get there?

Seeing organisations and interelationships as

a whole rather than as individual elements

VISION - WHERE ARE WE GOING?

How do leaders make the vision live and turn it into reality?

We develop leadership capability at all levels

• Create focus, drive and energy around goals

• Clarify ownership & accountability and set the

example by living and breathing your values

• Motivate and communicate effectively across

organisational and functional cultures

• Operate with emotional and social intelligence

or don’t have. I now know that there is a

learning curve and development curve”


People own what they help to create

Identify key stakeholders

WHO IS COMING WITH US?

Gaining commitment and

developing your people for the future

Talent management has never been more

important than it is today. How do you find and

keep key people and build core strength and

new skills for future success?

Our approach is to help you identify key

individuals and teams and determine the criteria

and skills needed to succeed.

We will evaluate your current performance,

culture and business climate in the context of

the strategy and the vision.

Next we introduce our ‘High Performing Teams’

framework. Our approach is to help teams

understand the framework, what each element

means and the implication for the team and the

business. Once commitment to the journey is

obtained, we work with teams and groups on

how to get there, using our extensive toolkit of

team development activities.

Involving everyone.

“The benefit for me was to see

and realise the power of a well

functioning team”

“I want to cascade and transfer the

learning among my team -

we own what we create”


A map for the journeyand a detailed plan that is understood

and acted on by everyone

ALL MOVING FORWARD

Harnessing the energy

We will help you develop a communication

and performance management strategy to

systematically link performance levels and

development needs to business objectives.

We’ll show you how to align people by

empowering them to play a full and active

part in the decision making process and

reviewing progress.

We begin the process by capturing views,

attitudes and perceptions.

Then we will help you to set up robust

performance management processes.

Next, we will design and deliver appropriate

training or development solutions.

Finally, we’ll measure results against your

pre-determined benchmarks and milestones.

in the right direction.

“I learned a great deal about motivation

and how best to work with other people

who may not think like I do”

“I have been given tools and

processes that I will use in my managing

the bottom-line”

Celebrating success What’s new? What’s different?

RIDING THE WAVE

What appears to be the end of a journey is just

the start of another. Successful companies

recognise that they should already be looking

for the next wave.

Blue water thinking

It is precisely when we are doing well that we

should be preparing for the next journey. Blue

water thinking means constantly challenging

complacency and scanning the horizon to look

for new, uncharted possibilities.

Drifting around here is not an option

Our programmes are designed to provoke and

stimulate your people to think and operate

more successfully.

Creativity is important but innovative, forward-

thinking strategies are crucial.

We bring a culture of innovation into your

organisation and the skills to support it.

and moving on.

“I gained courage for

new ideas and creativity”


Seeking out new horizons

WE’VE ARRIVED,

A new ripple effect starts here

Now a learning organisation is created.

By using systems thinking , the ‘ripple effect’

becomes a day-to-day reality.

Motivated and revitalised by success, your

ability to look back, re-evaluate and reinvent is

now enhanced and improved.

The vision for the next journey is clearly

communicated and a new map is ready.

now what?

“I think this programme has opened up

a new level of networking that is the

foundation for cultural and business

change in the future”

“This course has been intensive but

with massive value”

“An amazing experience

from start to finish”


THE JOURNEY

“ I have worked with Jan and Mike from WW

for many years, both in Europe and the United

States, and have found them one of the very

few consultancies who can bridge the cultural

gap seamlessly with both individuals and

groups. Without their hard work in introducing

culture, understanding and the need for

superior performance the teams I have had

work with them simply would not have made it

as collective units”
