The Next Step in Business Measurement
How do we integrate the soft people issues at the individual, team and enterprise level with the harder business performance issues?
Have you got staff who need direction?
Is your team working as well as it could?
Are your people, team and organisation aligned?
Our Approach
We integrate soft people issues with the harder business performance issues. You can use it to:
Develop individuals
Build a team, or an organisation
The focus of FutureSelves is around goals - vivid, realistic, achievable, stretching, aligned and real
It is different because it is an approach that:
|
|
Is future focused and therefore can be used for planning and development
|
Provides easy to read graphical feedback at the individual, team or enterprise level
Makes coaching and development easier
Brings out hard to reach issues, but also acts as a reality check and focuses on strengths
Identifies organisational climate issues that can affect performance
Motivates people by getting everyone "on the same page"
Based on NZ applied academic research, used in NZ, UK, and Australia

Created a sense of team commitment based on honesty and respect "Visually captured the sense of buzz and optimism we had showing that we were pretty much all on the same page." "Better understanding of each individuals personal goals, what they want to get from the group and how they think it matches it." "Was motivational and inspiring. Great to be working for a company that takes on board areas for improvement (as I have already seen changes)." It brought out difficult issues quickly and safely "Provide a context/forum to bring out issues that otherwise would likely never have been discussed." "Issues immediately apparent; quickly got to main points which is important because of time constraints and multiple people." It pointed quickly to strategies for improvement "Quickly translated into planning session" "Opened up issues that were stopping the company moving forward in an effective smart manner." |
