buildings dreams and hopes of others.

How to build a healthy organisation
Understand….
• Why do we exist?
• What do we do?
• How do we behave?
• Who must do what?
• How will we succeed?
• What is most important right now?
How to build a healthy organisation
Why do we exist?
Identifying the reason for being, or the
core purpose of your business; this
must be idealistic.
Dream big and think about a bold,
transformed future, the difference you
can make.
How to build a healthy organisation
What do we do?
Simply, does everyone understand the
business and its work? This is very
short definition of what the business
actually does. The nuts and bolts of it
all.
“What we do” is about normal
business, day in and day out.
How to build a healthy organisation
How do we behave?
This is about identifying your
business’s core values or your
organization’s personality.
Consider what you do in
challenging times, not just everyday
operations.
How to build a healthy organisation
“On a change leadership journey our
roots will keep us together”
How will we succeed?
This is the plan for success; collection
of intentional decisions your business
makes to give it the best chance to
succeed and differentiate itself.
This involves creating and agreeing on
a set of strategies to achieve the
business’s long-term vision.
How to build a healthy organisation
Who must do what?
Don’t assume; take the time to clarify
this so that everyone knows this and
agrees with it.
This is about clearly assigning and
defining the roles and responsibilities
within a team.
How to build a healthy organisation
What is most important right now?
This is the one goal that must be achieved
(within a clear time boundary), even if
there are other goals under consideration.
Usually it’s a one year plan. The team
must be unified around the short-term
goals and the tactics needed to
accomplish them.
How to build a healthy organisation
When we win, it’s not just a win for
us. It’s a win for our clients and
employees. They’ll demand better
of us, they’ll push us, they’ll ask us
to bring home gold for them. And
ultimately, that’s why we’re
representing them. Because
they’ve entrusted us to make them
proud.
