Some of our clients:

At the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games the British Men’s 8 Rowing Crew won their first Olympic gold after a medal dry-spell spanning over two decades. What created this turn-around?

It turns out they achieved gold by having one simple technique. For the years leading up to the games they based every decision for everything they did around one defining question: Will it make the boat go faster? We call this a “boat statement.”

In this workshop, we help you define your boat statement:

• Defining your boat statement – that one, single purposestatement that becomes the filter for all work-place decisions and practices.

• Defining your values and cultural statements.

• Developing a single, consistent pitch for your organisationthat is adopted and practiced by every team member.

Workshop:

Alignment & PurposeOne day workshop to align your entire team behind a common, unifying, purpose statement, backed with a clearly defined culture & values.

• Deep profiling of each individual’s motivators, talents, values, communication styles, and behavioural tendencies.

• Mapping position descriptions into equivalent personality profile traits to identify misalignment of ‘soul to role’.

• Overlaying team profiles and identifying sources of potential communication breakdown.

• Identification of behavioural characteristic gaps within the team that need filling to round-out performance.
