Project Management

A leader must be able to understand if his team, department or organisation is winning or losing. We’ve witnessed teams that had no idea whether their heroic efforts were translating into real benefits. “If you’re not keeping score, you’re just practicing.”

Performance Management

A leader must be able to understand if his team, department or organisation is winning or losing. We’ve witnessed teams that had no idea whether their heroic efforts were translating into real benefits. “If you’re not keeping score, you’re just practicing.”

Performance management helps an organisation:

-Understand whether a team or whole organisation is winning or losing by making performance visible
-Puts in place KPIs that are reliable predictive of future outcomes
-Drives decisions and action when tactical delivery is falling behind
-Problem solve
-Provides a mechanism for escalation of unresolved issues

Change Leadership

Change management is an approach to transitioning individuals, teams and organisations to a desired future state that describes better organisation performance. Two key points to remember:

N

Transition to a future state requires transforming organisation Systems, Processes, Organisational Structures as well as people capability.

N

Sustainable change is achieved by engaging the people impacted throughout the different stages of the change.

Positive Deviant leads change by building “change management” capability in your key talent. This means key skills are left in your team that will make the change sustainable. If we haven’t helped you on your way to becoming self-sufficient in these core skills, we would have failed.

In 2009 the NHS spent £300M on external consultancies

The Guardian, 20th August 2010

What if more consultancies taught their clients how to fish rather than handing out fish? That would be Positively Deviant. There are too many consultancies giving organisations fish, rather than teaching them how to fish.
