Build a Responsive Network

Responsive organizations continually engage collaborative innovation. Organizations that successfully create a context for people to learn, think, and respond freely engender extraordinary results.
What could your Partners do for you?
Dynamic Social Architecture
We work closely with you to redesign the organizational structure so that form more readily follows inherent function. To engage systems thinking effectively, the right people have to be free to collaborate with the other right people anywhere in the organization, irrespective of roles, titles, departments or protocol.
Catalytic Learning
We have developed a systematic process of inquiry, based on the work of Peter Drucker, that assesses the key opportunities for purposeful change. Whether related to a project, a department, a product, a service, a market, an event, a strategy, or a team, these systematic questions produce the insights and observations that identify significant opportunities for improvement or innovation that too often go unnoticed. We call these catalytic questions the Seven Sources Inventory.
Strategic Innovation
We encourage strategic innovation over strategic planning. Rigid adherence to a strategic plan too often stifles the innovation necessary to respond to unexpected opportunities. The goal of a highly responsive organization is to respond to catalytic learning, not every three to five years, but every three to five minutes.
Systems Thinking
"Systems thinking" effectively considers many relevant perspectives to generate the highest quality decisions. Quality decisions raise social capital; poor decisions deplete it. We train people in a creative approach to problem-solving that we call Teeming V Dialogue. It is a means of including many ideas, perspectives, and concerns in a dynamic process of quality decision-making.
Motivating Incentives
It is helpful to measure organizational progress and to celebrate it. You can engender fun and enthusiasm when everyone is enjoying the rewards of good work. The rewards will vary, depending on the organization, but the flock always flies more energetically with some "honking" along the way. We facilitate the design of measurement and incentive systems consistent with organizational mission, culture and objectives.
Training
We offer a series of training sessions to build the cultural underpinnings for responsive innovation. The training sessions are from 90 minutes to a full day and cover such issues as: Collaborative Dialogue, Unleashing Creativity, Seizing Opportunity, Encouraging Dissent, Having Fun at Work, Shared Leadership, Inhalation Therapy for Leaders, Building a Responsive Network and other training sessions tailored to the specific needs of your organization.
 
Do you have a responsive organizational network?
  • Do people from different functional areas easily assemble to consider an issue that concerns them all?
  • Do people take the initiative when they see opportunities for change?
  • Are you making decisions to sustain the organization for decades rather than solving problems to get through the week?
  • Would people in the organization say they own the important decisions about organizational success?
  • Is innovation a way of life in your organization?
If you can answer a yes to these questions, you are likely already promoting a Teeming V organization. To learn more about building responsive organizational networks, please contact us at info@partnersfi.com.
