Maximise your organisation's potential by equipping your employees with problem solving and communication skills

Senior leaders and their teams often bring a wealth of subject matter expertise. However, with the world changing and knowledge now easily accessible through avenues such as the internet and AI, it has become even more important for our leaders and their supporting teams to have the right skills and build the right capabilities in order to differentiate themselves in the market.

 

Often organisations rely on consultancies to fill any internal skill gap – engaging them to develop strategy to solve their complex problems and influence positive change. However, these important skills and capabilities leave once the consulting engagement is over. And the project has further enhanced the skills of consultancies (not the organisation) and therefore the reliance on consultancies for future projects continues.

​​

Organisations are therefore often left with teams that are not efficient nor effective problem-solvers or communicators and may:

• Develop solutions for symptoms, rather than the root causes or drivers, wasting time and resources

• Struggle to make sense of analysis to identify key priorities and clear actions / roadmaps, resulting in paralysis and missing opportunities

• Struggle to put together concise, engaging and compelling reports or presentations, resulting in inefficient use of meetings or unread & unconvincing reports and ultimately a lack of action from stakeholders

• Be unable to influence stakeholders and manage the change required to support the strategy, resulting in failed strategies 

• Be unable to manage their own time and wellbeing, resulting in employee burnout

 

This all results in slower and less effective outcomes and the organisation misses out on addressing its challenges and leveraging opportunities. This ultimately impacts profit.

 

By investing in upskilling and building problem solving, communication and change management capabilities, positive benefits will be seen for employees, teams and the organisation.
