​

"What is your basis for assuming they will?"

Social Process work is not about being nice. It's about creating & sustaining effectiveness.

Social Process

Pay the same attention to the detail of the social process as to technical & commercial processes

These can work together for success

 – or they can work against each other.

How people behave, do their work & interact, and the systemic and interpersonal  factors that drive this

Cost, financing, cash flow, return, efficiency, profit

Method, process, materials equipment used -for a specific field (eg: engineering, accounting, performance mgt, production)

is our focus and is a core business  process

All organisations achieve their goals through the work of people, whether this is 10 or 10 000. This leads to the complex and ongoing business challenge of how to get our people to consistently and efficiently do the right work.

Client achievement

Behaviour is driven by all the different messages of what really "goes on around here"

​

Areas of focus

Defining and requiring the productive focus of all who have people reporting to them.

Leadership

Providing a consistent message about expectations, including allocating the required resources and authority

Work clarity

Integrating these connected elements in an intentional way for efficient and sustainable success

Integrating for Performance

Using systems appropriately to drive the right behaviour, simplify work and improve decision making.

Systems

What people see and experience as the actual business priorities and generally “how things really work around here”
