Organisational Health
Healthy organisations are brilliant at the basics. They strive for excellence in execution, embrace leadership development, and they entrench continuous improvement as a way of life for everyone. Excellence in these areas gives them the ability to engage their employees, delight their customers and outperform their competitors.
The key to any healthy organisation is an integrated system of management that engages everyone in a continuous improvement journey towards excellence.
This integrated system of management delivers three core capabilities for a healthy organisation:
CDI Connect® integrates execution excellence, continuous improvement and leadership development into a single day-to-day management system. This daily management system:
Our way of working has allowed us to engage with a wide range of clients from every corner of the globe over the past 20 years. We have been involved in industries ranging from manufacturing, mining, healthcare, financial services, agriculture, logistics, education, sports to telecoms.
The Enablers of CDI Connect
Organisational health is achieved by developing engaged (committed, competent, confident) employees THROUGH the continuous improvement of enabling processes. Authentic leadership is needed to pioneer this journey.
Only when these three enablers are integrated into a complete system of management, will organisational health be achieved.
Authentic Leadership
Leaders at all levels engage every single employee on a continuous improvement journey towards a vision of excellence.
TYPICAL LEADERSHIP CHALLENGES
Our leadership team is exhausted from all the planning, organising, leading and controlling. They find it virtually impossible to delegate responsibilities to middle and frontline leadership.
Frontline leadership is very weak – we are struggling to develop their mindset and capabilities to the needed levels.
Engaged People
Committed, competent and confident people share their gifts and talents and take positive action to further the organisation’s interests.
TYPICAL PEOPLE CHALLENGES
Our employees, despite our efforts, are still not aligned nor engaged with the most important priorities in our organisation. To most, this is just a place of work.
Staff turnover is high and employee morale is low. Our people do not arrive at work with a sense of purpose and leave with a sense of achievement
Enabling Processes
Processes make it easier, better, faster and cheaper for people to achieve their objectives with zero valueless complexity.
TYPICAL PROCESS CHALLENGES
We have grown so much that it is no longer possible for the chosen few to decide and control everything. We need ways of working that enable people to consistently “do things right”.
Processes are never sustained. We spend a lot of effort and resources to prepare for audits and client/senior management visits.
We seem to be our own worst enemy. Most of the problems we face can be attributed to the fact that we are not following our own agreed methods.
