Overview

Beginning with opening up the understanding of what teams and individuals do for the organisation, we will work through a programme of understanding what the contributions are, and where to plug them into a healthy and responsive enterprise capability. Typically, the programme will contain these sorts of activity;

-One on one, or small workshops, to gain understanding what people think they do, and what value it adds
-Team workshops to draw out the interventions, and where they are best carried out
-Workshops, and coaching, to improve understanding of what isn’t in scope, and why scope matters
-Provision of visual tools, and also structured forums/meeting (where appropriate) to reduce cost of comms, and give a clearer picture of where the value is coming from
