The Corporate Ecology Group

To better understand the ‘ecology’ of an organisation we use a unique set of diagnostic tools, designed to take a snapshot of the health of any system. Using this diagnosis as a starting point, we then make a series of interventions to support organisations in authentically experiencing the generative power of human relationship as the basis of transforming their performance.
These interventions are tailor made to meet the unique requirements of each client, on a case by case basis. However, there are a number of fundamental principles that always get applied.

All our interventions take place with all members of your team.
As your team only exists to produce business results, your unique business challenges are always a primary focus for our interventions.
Change takes time. Our programmes are for a minimum of 6 months, with most clients choosing to work with us for 12-18 months, engaged in 2 or 3 interlinked programmes.

Using this as a foundation, a typical programme might unfold as follows:

Setting the scene. Over the phone with the team leader, the team is identified and contact details and team roles are clarified. The big challenge as seen through the eyes of the team leader is identified.
Intervention 1. Each team member is contacted via email and sent an online link to complete a team diagnostic questionnaire. This assesses how effective the team is in creating the environment for sustainable high performance. It is the backbone of our work and uniquely identifies what we help your team master as it moves forward.
Intervention 2. The results of the questionnaire are formulated and presented as a “snapshot” of the health of the team at the time of the intervention beginning. This is presented as a team offsite of 1.5 or 2 days. Team members are trained in how to improve performance through drivers of productivity and positivity, in relation to your real business goals.
Intervention 3. After approximately 2 months we meet again for a further 1.5 days. Again focused on enhancing your team’s performance against real business goals, this intervention is designed to “course correct”. We challenge team members to be aware of what old habits may have sabotaged the change initiatives. We focus together on what is working and what is not. We retune and maintain the focus on the changes you and the team can clearly see they need to make to transform good performance into great.
Intervention 4. The final team training event, again of 1.5 or 2 days, 2 months later. A final powerful combination of “what we are doing together” (your critical business goal, and its achievement) with “how we are doing this together”. We focus on ensuring every team member is conscious of what they are learning to develop in themselves and how to maintain the focus on continuously improving overall team performance.
This set of interventions has a dramatic effect on your business performance by helping everyone in the team learn about what it takes to consciously build healthy teams that make a difference. It is a 6 month journey complete in itself. Many clients choose to continue the process because by Intervention 4 all the team members are enjoying the learning process and are inspired by the impact.
They can clearly see that what they are learning together has a direct and rewarding impact on their team and individual performance. When we are complete, all team members leave with skills they can use in any team they join, to continuously enhance their results and the performance of everyone around them in your business.
