Understand the current organisation and system of work
We always try and start by immersing ourselves to understand the current organisation and system of work. What’s working well and where there is room to improve. We do this holistically through a focus on:
Ways-of-working
Techniques to plan, manage and execute work (Agile and Lean and bespoke)
Techniques to engage with customers (Customer Centricity, Design Thinking, Human-Centred Design etc)
Techniques to develop and share strategy and commitment (Lean and , Narrative Thinking – Storytelling)
Maintaining mindset through stress and change (Human Factors)
Discovery & Immersion

One-on-one ethnographic interviews with team members at all levels
Immersion experiences for the team to other organisations using Systems Thinking approaches
