Guiding Principals
Begin with the End in Mind
Keeping a clear line of sight to the end goal, moving people from where they are to where the business needs them is critical.
Seek Root Causes
Ensure the team is focused on solving the “right” problem, not just the visible impacts and symptoms.
Keep in Alignment
When there is alignment between the business strategy, leaders, sponsors, and change agents, “expectation failures” can be minimized and the long-term success and sustainability of a transformation and change effort increased.
Think Holistically
Do not overlook connections and downstream impacts. Impacts to one dimension often affect the others. Focus on ensuring alignment and consistency Change in business strategy, organizational alignment, and individual perspectives can impact each other.
Collaborate
Take actions with clients, do not do things to our clients. Value the unique viewpoint and experience of each team member. The whole is always greater than the sum of the parts.
Work with Integrity
Always – Do what is right, not necessarily what is easy. Both time and money are finite – treat them as such. If you say you will do it, do it well and in a timely manner.
