TRANSFORMATION

Through our inspiration sessions, workshops and GROWTH-programs we guide transformations and help organizations to profit from positive change. We do this based on our unique approach and a set of assumptions. For mor information read below.

Do you wish to hear it directly from us? Do not hesitate to contact us for more information about our approach or services.

Our definition of a transformation is when the development of mindset, skillset and toolset is required to realise the desired progress.

The transformation process consists of an inspiration, discover and growth phase.

Because 75% of transformation ambitions fail in the bottom of the learning curve our approach focuses on guiding teams through this process.

MINDSET

We believe you need to learn how to change attitudes and grow awareness around:

Motivation – willingness
Capabilities – ability
Environment - support

Mindset: a set of mentalities (attitudes) that explain and predict organizational behaviors

SKILLSET

In order to transform you need the right organizational skillset. We help you to learn how to change behaviors and grow the competence levels within:

People & organization Excellence (EX)

Customer Excellence (CX )

Operational Excellence (Exploitation)

Product Excellence (Exploration)

Skillset: a set of abilities to do (behaviors) something really well

TOOLSET

With the right mindset and skillset you can explore and integrate the tools that are required to scale the transformation through:

Structures

Processes

Data-usage

Technology

Toolset: a set of assets that will help to support and scale the desired behaviors that lead to the desired progress (results)

GROWTH

Within our programs we work with the unique GROWTH-method to increase the effectiveness of your strategic efforts. The GROWTH-canvas takes you through the six stages of problem solving around a concrete business challenge you have:

Goal: what do you want to achieve?

Reality: what is your current reality and problem definition?

Options: what options do you have to achieve your goal?

Way forward: how will you implement these options?

Hypothesis: what is the most critical assumption that must be correct?

Test: how do you test this assumption?

By going through these steps systematically, you will get the desired results and learn to improve the crucial steps of goal setting, problem analysis, solution development, prioritization, implementation, experimentation and testing. Our programs will take you through multiple iterations.

UNIQUE METHOD

Proprietary method based on scientific insights

We use our own method, in which we combine different models in a unique approach, the GROWTH-method. These models have a strong theoretical basis and are evidence based*. We work diligently on improving our tools, daily.

*It is only fair to mention that some of our models are based on our experience and do not (yet) meet the strict standards of scientific practice. If you have any questions about this claim let us know.
