Stimulating & Supporting Integrative Leadership.

We design short-termtask-orientated initiatives for

business.

Building agile & adaptable 21st Century management teams for an

international market.

Why? The 21st Century Issue.

In the UK productivity is 21% lower than the rest of the G7. 1 An estimated £19bn is wasted each year due to poor

management practice. 2

UK management has failed to improve in over a decade. 3

The Management Challenge.

The management environment is changing daily and often feels impossible

to adapt quickly enough.

Those that don’t know how to respond are likely to keep doing the same thing - just faster, consuming valuable resources and inevitably

becoming one of the many failing organisations we see each year.

The Solution?

Work Smarter, Not Harder.

For those wanting to survive & prosper there is need to develop entrepreneurial practices, integrating Individual & Group Dynamics

creating Agile Management Teams.

For agility to be long-lasting it is essential that the culture of the organisation can and will support wholeheartedly these new

behaviours.

Know what compatible teams look like. Know how to productively manage conflict. Know how to manage people and ‘Resistance to

Change’.

Real World Practice.

Are there examples of such agile organisations working today?

Yes.

John Lewis Partnership, Rolls Royce and 3M and many others. These organisations have developed their own programmes, demonstrating

their success over many years. What do they do? They adapt & change - while maintaining trust within the organisation.

Our Approach.

We improve people management & develop leadership skills through

workshops & profiles aligned to your business context, modes of management

and culture.

We stimulate & support more effective action for the 21st Century. Supporting Integrative Leadership across the organisation,

developing awareness, management skills and motivation for both the individual & your business.

All tools need to be used at the right time, in the right context and the reports that are produced need to be used

in a particular way.

None have any answers but all create interesting questions to be explored. Our aim is to facilitate increased awareness, identifying the skills to better manage self and

others. Enabling confidence and drive to bring this new awareness to support the organisation’s objectives more

effectively.

Integrative Leadership Development Framework - Understanding Context

The ‘Management Challenge’ for those wanting to survive and prosper, is the need to develop innovative and

entrepreneurial practices. The need to integrate Individual and Group Dynamics creating Agile Management Teams.

For Behavioural Agility to be long-lasting it is essential that the ‘Culture’ of the organisation can and will support

these new behaviours wholeheartedly. Those wanting to embark on this journey can be guided and supported by our unique framework ‘Stimulating and Supporting

Integrative Leadership’ delivering enhanced performance.

Explore when People are Resistant to Change 4

T

Our research, starting back in 2011 ‘Resistant to Change from a Leaders’ Perspective’ has shown repeatedly

that for successful change, there is the need to develop management and leadership awareness, skills and

capabilities especially within the Interpersonal domain.

The way we work with you will depend on the context and challenge you face. We typically use one or more

of the assessment tools like ‘The Innovation Audit suite’ designed to explore particular aspects within Personal,

Group and Organisational Dynamics.

The Innovation Audit Suite Exploring Group Behaviours

Innovation Audit tools are used to measure and facilitate behavioural change for Organisations, Teams

and Workgroups. Building on best practice to help organisations or groups gain new insight into how they are

positioned regarding Learning, Agility and Flexibility.

The appeal of the model is its simplicity. If your organisation already has a competency model or qualities

framework that describes the required tasks and behaviours of the management group, Primary Colours®

will map on to it.

consistently shown that engaged employees help their organisations to perform better through retention,

superior customer service, innovation and productivity.

this via an employee survey. Then watch commitment, discretionary effort and performance improve.

In an instant, it gets your leader in touch with what is working, what is not, and why. We can use this framework to explore Management, Leadership and Leadership Team

Culture.
