Organisational Values:
The underlying drivers of behaviour
"It is not hard to make decisions when
you know what your values are"
Roy Disney, (Nephew of Walt Disney)
The issue...
-
Some organisations are founded on core values. Values
that drive their thinking and behaviour throughout their life.
They are strong and persist through the culture.
-
Some organisations, find their values are being transgressed,
infringed or trodden on: They need to re-assert their
core and basic values. They need to get re-aligned as
an organisation.
-
Sometimes the organisation may lose sight of its values.
Perhaps it is fragmented or parts are operating to different
values. They may need to integrate their parts into the
sense of identity, culture and values of the whole.
-
No matter which is the case, the values of an organisation
come through in the way its people behave: Through its managers,
through its staff, through to its customers, suppliers, investors
and everyone it has dealings with.
-
The challenge is ensuring alignment: to act out its values
in both what it says and what it does, and have confidence others
are as well.
Our service means that...
-
You are confident you are speaking and acting out the values
you espouse.
-
You will set a clear set of values for the behaviour and actions
of the rest of the organisation.
-
You will know where your values are held and where they are
being transgressed. More importantly you will understand
why and what to do about it.
-
Any inconsistencies within the strategy will be teased out
so that your strategic themes and actions will be aligned with
your organisation's values
- Your staff, customers, suppliers and everyone you work with
will recognise that you live what you say and believe.
What we do...
-
Organisational values manifest themselves as behaviours, spoken
and acted out. However they can differ from one part of
teh organisation to another. They can also clash with
the practices of people in the organisation.
-
We help you explore where your organisation's values are aligned
and where there are mismatches.
-
As they progress, you and your team, can become collectively
clearer about:
-
Where you are going and why. The underlying beliefs
you collectively and individually hold about the future.
-
Knowing what you have to achieve, by when, and the implications
of it. Where the crunch points are and the danger signs.
-
Communicating better, within the team, and to the rest
of the organisation
-
How effective your strategy will be. Including the timing,
sequencing and dependency between aspects of the strateg
