Dr Tony Watt is the principal consultant who leads
the delivery of his company’s high-value professional services. He avoids the
discredited ‘cookie-cutter’ approach to remedying corporate ills. His approach
is tailor-made for each organisation and their unique cultures. Dr Watt
understands that a rational, top-down model of cultural change and alignment
just doesn’t work. Leaders get short-term compliance on the surface but
underneath nothing changes in the beliefs of the team. Unfortunately, no
discretionary effort is released.
What’s the alternative? The Culture Doctor has a
four step process for remedying an ailing corporate culture and releasing
discretionary effort. It’s this discretionary effort of the people of any
organisation that takes it from good to great. First step is to ASK the
people of the organisation what values and beliefs drive them. This is the
diagnosis bit. Minessence’s on-line AVI tools are
used. A series of workshops develop team-designed company-unique measures based
on the highest priority commonly shared values of the company and its people.
This community of belief called culture can be measured. Once this asking step
has been completed and the measurement recorded, the crucial ‘pay attention’ or
LISTEN step is commenced. This is the prognosis bit. This is the
stage when the prescription or corporate remedy is developed. New strategy is
developed to address the identified problems. Next the company’s leaders must
ACT and be seen to act upon the agreed strategies. This is the
prescription
bit. Once the remedy is taken, the endless cycle moves to ASK AGAIN.
In this intensely guided process, your company will unfold its competitive edge
of greatness. When your team believes their corporate culture is healthy then
they will behave as a healthy community of beliefs.
