A structured dialogue process supported by interactive tools creates meaningful conversations around relevant information-and results in quality decisions.HOW IT WORKS
Dialogs for Change™ is a facilitated process that creates focused discussions around key strategic topics.
THE METHOD
Our solutions draw on one or more of the four main dialogs described below, but the exact solution will depend on specific client needs and circumstances.
Our Landscape
In which context are we working? What are short- and long-term trends? What might the future look like? It is important to understand the arena and the conditions we can’t change.
Our Customers
What is the competition doing, what competitors are emerging, and what alternatives do customers have? How do we best meet their expectations? How do we stay relevant?
Our Organization
How can we best use our resources? What are our marketing, sales, financial and operations capabilities? What is our culture? Is there a mindset for change?
Our People
Are individuals trained and equipped to manage and implement? Are we developing leaders? Are we helping them prepare for tomorrow?
THE PROCESS
After identifying the core areas of need — Landscape, Customers, Organization or People — we enter our research phase. We start by gathering and assessing information available to us from within the organization, but sometimes find it necessary to conduct original research to ensure that we are working with the latest information and most pertinent data.
The results of our research are distilled and transformed into highly focused and directed discussions using our proprietary Dialogs for Change™ model — alone or in conjunction with business simulations or other tools.
The dialogs are facilitated through a series of workshops carefully designed to help individuals understand different perspectives and draw relevant conclusions on their own.
We can provide the support and training clients need to facilitate and manage the dialogs internally.
SUPPORT TOOLS
Dialogs for Change™ creates new levels of awareness and understanding about business initiatives. Anyone expected to make meaningful, and often difficult, decisions in line with organizational goals must also be knowledgeable about business finance and strategic operations.
For this aspect of development, we frequently incorporate discussion support tools developed by Celemi, The Power of Learning™ (www.celemi.com). These tools include proprietary business simulations and interactive exercises that have been used effectively by organizations around the world since 1985.
