Core Principles for Transforming Your ORGANIZATION
1
MITIGATE RESISTANCE TO CHANGE
Successful change can only be accomplished when dissatisfaction with the Current State combines with a compelling vision of the Future and clarity of First Steps for Change are greater than individual and organizational Resistance to Change. Our Rapid Alignment process quickly identifies and helps mitigate individual and institutional barriers to change as a critical step on the path to successful change.
2
DEPERSONALIZE CONFLICT
Dynamic change inevitably creates conflict between the current and future state. In some cases, a leader’s avoidance of conflict to maintain a false sense of harmony and alignment actually stifles the creative innovation necessary for the organization to thrive, or even survive. Rapid Alignment provides a framework and language to depersonalize conflict between competing perspectives which allows for open expression of the constructive ‘creative tension’ that drives innovation. The simultaneous work on strategic self-awareness of each leader and Rapid Alignment team facilitation enables this creative tension to drive change in a transparent and supportive team and organization environment.
3
COLLABORATIVE CULTURE
Creating a collaborative culture is essential to sustain alignment and change momentum into the future. In the Rapid Alignment process increasing trust between all leadership team members is addressed on both individual and team levels right from the start. Increasing trust builds teams that can collaborate and innovate more successfully. A Rapid Alignment Team Effectiveness assessment identifies specific team areas that need to be addressed to become the high-performing collaborative team required to succeed in today’s complex and turbulent environment.
