Participative Processes
The best way to execute your strategy and generate commitment within an organisation is to involve people in the thinking and decisions about the future. CATALYST4 has worked with many organisations over the years in developing participative processes that engage people with a shared sense of the future.
RECENT EXAMPLE
The appointment of a new CEO and the requirement to create a new 5-year strategic plan for the Ministry resulted in a process being designed that:
- Signalled a new collaborative and participative style of leadership.
- Engaged staff and key external stakeholders in the thinking and decisions about the future.
- Gained clarity and commitment on the vision, key strategic objectives and strategic initiatives within the organisation.
The process has generated a strong cultural change within the organisation, has strong commitment from council, executives and staff, and the outputs are recognised by the Ministry as being innovative, aligned and clear.
