Organisational Transformation through Inclusivity

The soil needs the seed andthe seed needs the soil

One only has meaning with the other.The same thing happens to human beings.

When male knowledge comes together with female transformation, then the great magical union takes place,

which is called Wisdom.

Human Niche Organisational Fractals

BeQ™ Benchmark of Engagement Quotient

BeQ™ Model

• The DOING and BEING are equally important and should be dealt with as such.

• Inclusivity is a Radical Transformational Strategy because we release voice.

• Hope is created during this strategy – this energy, if not channeled can have negative implications.

• Transformational leadership is needed to sponsor the process.

• Leadership strength and ethics on all organisational levels are critical.

• Emotional intelligence development critical in order to deal with mature system dynamics.

• Each action has a reaction – creating an inclusive system will lead to exclusion of other systems.

• Behavioural engagement is unleashed through Inclusivity

• Human Resources must reclaim its rightful place on strategic level

Meta-Insights

Beck (2005, 2013)

We think think differently . ..

1. Describe the psyche of the organisation and determine ROI of interventions

Through scientific diagnostic cultural sensitive longitudinal validated instruments

2. Release voice“The most important thing is not the script but the story”

3. Listen with your eyes closed“The best leader is the one who listens the best to the total organisation”

4. Speak in colours / frequencies Translate for understanding and human niche

5. Remember what made us successful in the first place “If you want to move forward, look back, look back…”

6. Position the people agenda as part of any strategic conversation“Incorporate Safety, HR, Internal Branding and External Positioning strategies in line strategy”

7. Integrate “I would do anything for the simplicity at the other side of complexity”

An integral, inclusive leader:

7. Integrate, integrate, integrate “I would do anything for the simplicity at the other side of complexity”

7. Design Inclusivity Design from yellow
