Business change integrationBusiness transformation begins with a vision of the future. Your vision will seem logical and even inevitable but it must integrate widely differing perspectives. Speed is central but an abrupt step change from general to detailed strategy can create problems.Each project involves a different team with a unique personality. This personality is its strength but cannot be contained on a Gantt chart. Bi-directional information flow is critical to aligning and maintaining the alignment of the different teams and stakeholder groups as they feed into detailed implementation plans. At an international consultancy, Robin worked across business units and throughout the reporting chain to identify and define projects. Drawing up an overall programme methodology he provided the lead in integrating and aligning projects, designing and mediating the consultation for Board approval.
Service developmentWhether the services are those of local government, national agencies, or international organisations development involves reconciling many powerful independent groups. In order to make progress different remits need to be mediated between.Robin has facilitated consultations and reviews for local government and QUANGOs. These have: agreed the reformulation of schools funding; determined capital project requirements for service directorates; developed new working and management processes; and devised new methodologies to the maintenance of capital estates. The work included mentoring and coaching the development of programme concept and gaining the engagement and consensus of all stakeholders.
Strategy developmentFacilitation can be a powerful tool for building teams and agreeing common agendas. To deliver its real benefit it must form part of an overall development process.Robin has devised and run development processes in many different arenas: urban inner city estates; international management planning; school and local government; and business strategy development. , in developing cascading Balanced Scorecards. For a national UK voluntary sector organisation organisational Robin identified and mediated a rift between senior managers and the Executive involved in an organisational development progreamme. Although the development initiative would have delivered the outputs asked for without aligning the different perspectives value would not have been delivered.
