EMBRACE THE UNKNOWN

Decisive Leadership in turbulent times

We know that the world, and our experiences of work, have been changing rapidly for some time now.  What may be less obvious is how ill-equipped most human beings are to tolerate uncertainty, and the impact it has on them.  When asked to work in contexts which do contain ambiguity (such as organisations going through organisational change) then, over time, we will typically see a decrease in productivity, employees struggling to perform their roles well, overwhelm, and burnout.

Developing tolerance of ambiguity skills helps build the resilience, flexibility, and mental agility required to handle constant change effectively.

Embrace the Unknown is a 1 day workshop that uses a purpose-built board game experience to help your team understand their individual and collective approach toward navigating ambiguity, and then gives them an opportunity to practice the skills that can increase their tolerance toward ambiguity.

Optional add-ons to this program can include:

1. Providing regular videos on how to continually develop skills in ambiguity tolerance;
2. Group coaching sessions for the team;
3. 90 min individual debriefs on the results of the diagnostic; and
4. A reloaded workshop at the end of the 12 months where the team retakes the assessment to see how they’ve evolved over that period.

OUTCOMES

Participants will gain:

• An understanding of their own ambiguity tolerance across 9 different factors and 3 different dimensions;
• An understanding of the Team’s profile, and the strengths and weaknesses of the team as a collective; and
• A fun team experience, and opportunity to practice their new learnings about ambiguity tolerance.

PERFECT FOR

Embrace the Unknown is perfect for Executive teams who want to improve their performance, leadership and experience of work, through increasing their tolerance of ambiguity.

DECIDEDLY BETTER

Helping executive teams make decisions they can stand behind

When the stakes are high and the pace is fast, even experienced leaders can fall into decision-making traps; too much information, too little structure, unclear responsibilities, or assumptions that go unchecked. The result can include delays, rework, or decisions that miss the mark.

Decidedly Better is a practical, psychology-informed program that gives executive teams the structure, tools, and shared language to make smart decisions with confidence. It’s about lifting the quality of decision-making by design, not just relying on experience or instinct.

Delivered through two in-person half-day workshops, plus targeted work before, between and after the sessions, this program helps executive teams align on how decisions are made. The session also equips them with tools that are not only practical, but build shared confidence in the process, the outcomes, and the ability to clearly and defensibly explain the rationale behind each decision.

OUTCOMES

• A clearer, more consistent way to make high-quality decisions as a leadership team;
• A fit-for-purpose tool that improves transparency, pace, and confidence;
• Decision processes that reduce friction, build trust, and support accountability; and
• Greater confidence across the team, in the process, in the outcomes, and in each other.

PERFECT FOR

Decidedly Better is perfect for executive teams who want to streamline decision-making, reduce rework, and strengthen confidence in the choices they make.

DECISION TO DONE

Setting up your transformation project for success

Major organisational change projects are inevitably complex, impacting a wide range of people across multiple functions.  If they are not setup well from the beginning, or if they are not implemented in a way that keeps employees engaged and feeling psychologically safe, then negative and far-reaching consequences are likely.  You may see project delays, budget blow outs, and a significant reduction in productivity, work quality and employee attrition.  These issues will inevitably have flow on impacts to your customers and suppliers.

Decision to Done is a 6-month workshop and mentoring program, that equips your leaders with the knowledge, skills and scaffolding required to ensure your transformation project is a success.

OUTCOMES

On completion of the program, participants will have:

• The confidence and ability to make sound decisions that can stand up to scrutiny;
• The knowledge and skills to positively impact their team and others, in relation to organisational change; and
• The ability to successfully implement changes as part of a wider organisational transformation project.

PERFECT FOR

This is perfect for teams who are going through a major organisational change project.
