INDIVIDUAL COACHING & MENTORING : Transformation at Work- releasing people to perform

Organisations having an organic set of values that influence their people's attitudes and shape their behaviours reap many benefits, for example:

• where they are in tune with the public's increasing desire to associate with organisations that have an ethical stance and performance, the sales performance is strongly positive
• a clear value set can set organisations apart and provide a unique selling proposition
• at a business to business level they tend to be more consistent in their performance and, therefore, more attractive to do business with
• people working to agreed values and behaviours tend to have fewer misunderstandings that lead to costly errors
• people who are engaged with an organisations values are more motivated and creative
• the levels of cooperation created by people who have worked through how they want to be together can result in dramatically reduced project times and consequent bottom-line benefit

For these reasons, many organisations have invested in Value Statements. Too many have failed to take these any further than a poster in reception. Others have invested great effort in communicating values from the top to everyone in their organisation, with mixed results. Yet others have led from the top, engaged their people in defining the values and given their people the freedom to define behaviours in their own situation that live out the values. These are the organisations that reap the greatest benefit.

ICFBA consultants understand this process and know how to advise you to implement an effective, values and behaviours programme that engages people at all levels in a top down, bottom up iterative process. Important elements in such a programme can be Team Coaching, and Large Events.
