HOW WE WORK

Business Driven Action Learning

My way of working with leadership-teams is based on so called Business Driven Action Learning as developed by Yury Boshyk. The core of this approach is that actual Business Challenges in the organization are taken as a starting point and will be combined with the Personal Challenges of team members. A process will be put in place where Action and Learning go together. My role is to facilitate this process. The result for the organization will be good quality, speed, engagement and therefore sustainable change.
In the following scheme the approach is visualized (source Boshyk 2011):

During the process of Business Driven Action Learning normally 7 components will be a part as shown below (source Boshyk 2011):

People-Centred Change Implementation

During the implementation phase of a change programme, my way of working is based on People Centred Implementation (PCI) as developed by Changefirst. I facilitate the process or manage the change programme, being certified for this method. The elements and steps of PCI are shown in the scheme below (source Changefirst):
