1. Core issue analysis
What helps to increase the mindfulness of a complete organization? Dealing strategically with the most essential challenge of the organization. Identifying and formuating this core challenge is core issue analysis. It is a further development of Igor Ansoff's strategic issue analysis. Successfully responding to the core challenge revitalizes the whole organization. We call that core issue transformation.
Often this implies a renewed focus on the primary process that has imperceptibly slid in the background. It is common that the top of an organization lacks people that have knowledge about and experience in the primary process. In government and nonprofit this is even worse than in business. Rediscovering the primary process in itself is revitalizing. The energy returns. Sometimes dealing with the core issue implies a big change in the primary process or a shift between core business and a secondary activity.
What also boosts mental energy is a motivating, inspiring mission. Few mission statements qualify. They are weak, even cowardly, or they are unrealistically and abstractly ambitious. Unfocussed missions and abstract missions don’t inspire, don’t mobilize, don’t electrify.
Wherever the restoration or the increase of mind power is hindered by a lack of direction, focusing the strategy may be part of our work.
2. Personal mastery
Development and application of individual mindfulness, Peter Senge called personal mastery. We have elaborated this concept in five core competences. We call our work in this area Coaching for Personal Mastery. That may be coaching for individual entrepreneurs and executives, but also for teams - usually top teams, sometimes teams for special and heavy assignments.The next course in Dutch can be found at the website of SPSO.
3. Organizational constellations
Exploring and resolving very persistent problems, crises and conflicts and baffling strategic choices by spatial and intuitive representation.
4. Organizational energies
Discovering the forces behind organizational success and failure and learning to deal with them.
5. The Leadership Game
Starting with a personal focus or theme, you will map your leadership qualities and potential. You will find answers to questions that confront you and suggestions to apply your new insights to organizational reality. You come into contact with what motivates you and you get a sense of direction. The Game doesn't work with simulation, but with random inputs, intuitive methods and imaginative association. It triggers a deep reflection on personal experiences. It covers nine leadership qualities: presence, authority, decisiveness, coaching skills, organizing skills, intelligence (knowledge), vision, flexibility and mission persistence.
The participants map their experiences, lessons and personal qualities in those fields. Examples of themes (from actual participants):
• How can I enlarge the success of my organization?
• I want to reflect on my present position: Where do I want to go from here?
• My organization lacks energy. How can I contribute to that?
• Isn't it time to start my own business?
• I am getting more responsibility. Do I have sufficient leadership qualities?
• How can I guide the coming reorganization best?
• My work demands too much of me. How do I cope?
• I want to give an innovative impulse. How do I do that?
6. Developing managerial intuition
