Team Test

Organisational Development Consultancy

Team test – try this – and see the difference between an ordinary consultancy and the Ryan Britton partnership.

Peter Senge tells us "It is amazing how often you come across teams with an average intelligence of over 120, but the team functions at a collective intelligence of about 60”
Why do teams function at less than the sum of their parts?

“Head, Heart and Hand”

 

“Where are we heading?”

  • What are the business and social imperatives that drive the organisation? The focus of most consultancies is on how to achieve short term results.
  • The Ryan Britton partnership also pays attention to vision and purpose, to the core values of the organisation and its people. We focus on what is unique and characteristic. We help to clarify direction and to steer a course. Leadership and valuing individual contributions is key.

“How 'hands on' are we and do we have a grasp of what is really going on?”

  • The more usual focus is on the 'Operating Manual'. How we put into practice what we have already learned and refine the manual to cope with change?
  • The Ryan Britton Partnership also focuses on readiness to meet as yet unknown challenges. Not only can we learn from the past we can learn to be ready and prepared for the future. We can even throw out the operatives manual if need be and write a new one. We are creatively engaged with the present challenges and free to employ our individual talents in the service of the organisation. Management becomes leadership and team working becomes specialist, devolved and accountable expertise. Everyone is signed up to the task and everyone is acknowledged for the value of their contribution.


“Are our hearts in it?”

  • We believe that this area of organisational and team life is often overlooked in training and development work and yet it is as crucial to achieve emotional engagement as it is the thinking and behaving aspects. It is from this level that people find inner resources to commit to the project. When your core values are engaged, when your aspirations are acknowledged and your contribution validated then you are going to work more effectively towards team and organisational goals

The Ryan Britton Partnership is both qualified and experienced to engage positively with the emotional organisation, to enable everyone to make a valuable contribution. When individual core motivations are not engaged then teams under function. Small shifts in individual role, independence, authority and validation are often all that is needed to engage a person whole heartedly in the project.
