So how does this work?
In order to best understand how this works, let us consider three examples;
- An organisation who has opted for the Foundational package.
- An organisation who has opted for the Advanced package.
- An organisation who has opted for the Evolutionary package.
In our example, the following feedback was provided from the organisational diagnostics:
Strengths:
- The organisation has a clear vision for the future.
- The organisation has, and will continue to, invest in the development of their leaders and employees.
- Senior leadership within the organisation are willing to adapt and embrace new practices in order to develop further resilience for future challenges.
- Leaders are willing to learn and improve their practice.
- Leaders believe the organisation are willing to invest in their development.
- Some Leaders have taken the initiative to learn and develop their leadership acumen independently.
- Employees enjoy, and feel thier work has value.
- Employees are committed to their work and are motivated to do their best for the organisation.
Areas for Improvement:
- Leaders are feeling stretched and overwhelmed.
- Leaders do not feel they know how to improve their practice.
- Employees within the organisation feel they recieve mixed messages.
- Employees within the organisation feel there are too many iniatives.
- Employees within the organisation feel individual leaders place mixed levels of priority on different initatives and directions.
- Employees within the organisation feel siloed and seperated from other teams.
- Employees within the organisation feel they are in competition with other teams within the organisation.
- Employees within the organisation feel they are in competition for promotion and progression; they prioritise their own performance over the performance of the team and the organisation as a whole.
- Employees within the organisation do not feel leaders prioritise their employees needs over their own.
- Employees within the organisation do not feel comfortable sharing honest feedback and ideas with all members of the leadership team.
The Foundational Package
In order to address some of the areas above, working from the strengths of the organisation and devleoping the areas for improvement, the following single-day, bespoke conference package would be designed.
The Advanced Package
In order to address more of the areas above, again working from the strengths of the organisation and devleoping the areas for improvement, the following two-day, bespoke conference package would be designed.
The Evolutionary Package
In order to address as many of the areas above as possible, again working from the strengths of the organisation and devleoping the areas for improvement, the following three-day, bespoke conference package would be designed.
The workshops themselves would be chosen by the organisation as a result of discussions around the feedback provided from the organisational diagnostics, with the requirements of all three stake-holders taken into account; the organisation, the employees and the leaders themselves.
As a result of the conference, attending leaders will be equiped with new knowledge and skills to put them in the best possible position to address the areas for development. With the Silver package, this would be where we at LAMDA Solutions step aside. However, with the Gold and Platinum packages, we would follow-up the conference with one-to-one coaching and workshops, to ensure that the new knowledge and skills are effectively implemented for the benefit of all three stake-holders.
