Want a high-performing business but you’re not sure how to start?
While many companies claim to value people, they are not experiencing the kinds of results they want. That’s because they aren’t designed to do so!
The Traditional Model
The model that dominates most modern businesses is based on “scientific management”, which was very useful a century ago. It came out of the industrial revolution. Some of the features are:
- Narrowly-defined jobs
- Division of labor that keeps different functions separate
- Uniform and strictly enforced policies
- There’s one best way to do a job
- Management’s role to control the means and speed of work
The problem this creates is that work is fragmented in such a way that people do not see or feel responsibility for a “whole process”.
In High Performing organizations this changes.
- People are contributing members of the organization.
- They have the ability to solve problems and make decisions that affect the team.
- The understand the whole process as well as the vision and direction of the organization.
- They have broadly defined jobs and roles.
When everyone is on the same page and has the skills to know what to do, positive results flourish.
The highway is dense with information but to simplify the process we recommended starting with the following workshop sessions to give you tools, instruction and inspiring viewpoints.
