THE CALL TO COUNCIL – Using collective genuis to address challenges

Some organizational problems just seem too complicated to address and don’t seem to be the responsibility of anyone in particular. Some problems are addressed, but then reappear at some later date. Some problems need the focus of multiple stakeholders, who never seem to be in the same place at the same time. And some problems just don’t seem like a big deal, until they become a big deal.

We utilize new and powerful ways of solving problems provide effective solutions, while empowering and energizing those most affected and involved.

In each of the following cases we:

• Identified the key challenges, issues and stakeholders involved.
• Assembled and collected all qualitative and quantitative data relevant to the issues.
• Set specific, measurable goals for effective results.
• Assembled and prepared key decision-makers to work together to reach agreement on recommended solutions.
• Identified and prepared teams to work on specific aspects of the issues.
• Implemented a team process to identify, prioritize and decide on the best solutions and implementation plans.
• Designed and facilitated a decision meeting at which teams presented solutions and business rationale, including cost/benefits and the support and help needed. Decision-makers gave “go” or “no go” decisions on the spot and in a public forum.
• Action began immediately after the meeting and results began to occur, often within a very short period of time.
