Approach

Our definition of sustainability:
Efficiency AND Effectiveness in service of the VISION

We are experts in the area of Organizational Development… We bring processes and expert advice to the complicated concepts of strategic change, leadership development, teaming and personal development. We truly can hear your needs and, through the fostering of mutual trust, create the foundation of our work together. We see the big picture and provide you with options for sustainable results, rather than just the ‘fix’ needed to make it through the current gate.

Our Approach, represented by the following schematic, is clearly guided by a honed and steady philosophy that anchors our 5 Steps on the Path to Change©.

CCI’s Philosophy

Strength-Based Approaches CCI’s Unique Value On People An Objective & Broader Perspective

Strength-Based Approaches

We’re individuals but organizations are really strong when the essence of the individual is harnessed together with all of the others.

Our engagements start with a reframe of the issues, problems and challenges into opportunities in such a way that they ignite people’s imagination and desire to learn and grow.

We believe that people have limitless energy for doing good work when their voices are heard and their strengths are put to good use.

Validating, reinforcing, and celebrating progress moments ensures that people’s enthusiasm and energy is regenerated throughout the project.

CCI’s Unique Value On People

We help Clients slow down to make sense of their issues

It is not changing the Organization…it is investing and leveraging the people, which in turn changes the culture which in-turn changes the Organization.

Our 3-step process gathers the right people together to study a situation, build a common understanding and a shared commitment before any resources are committed to the Change Project.

An Objective & Broader Perspective

Going Beyond the Presenting Issue
Go Slow to Go Fast.

We help our clients to quickly make sense of their situation from an organizational development perspective. Our tools and frameworks quickly build a principled approach strategy. Our best work is knowledge-based, grounded in research and validated methodologies and combines elements from different schools of thought to ensure a broad perspective. Our bias is to help clients carefully choose the relevant stakeholders – favouring inclusiveness – and the right process.

The best solutions are co-created thereby leveraging the best of what is available, and avoiding surprises.

3 Key Steps to “Kick-Off”

All projects in organizational life, however big or small, are change projects

1.) Discovery 2.) Direction & Alignment 3.) Engagement & Action

1.) Discovery

Reframe challenges into opportunities
Create A Shared Understanding
Of context, core strengths, stakeholder contributions, business imperatives for the Change

Outcome

Definition of the Change Agenda into an epic opportunity that inspires urgent optimism, hope in others and clear success measures.

*80/20 tendency: humans routinely frame things in a problem-based way, likely around 80% of the time. An 80% appreciative approach will generate a life-giving climate of pride and appreciation, and energy and a path forward for transformation

2.) Direction & Alignment

Using a whole systems approach
Series Of Meetings, Communications, Workshops And Check‑Ins
