Enterprising organisations

"It's not my job to sort that out."

It's an attitude anyone who has worked in organisations will recognise. It's easy to condemn, of course, but what does it really reflect? Is this simply down to individual attitudes or is there something about organisations which might promote this sort of mindset?

All organisations are bureaucracies to a greater or lesser extent, designed to deliver precision, speed, clarity, regularity, reliability and efficiency. To achieve this, tasks are rigidly divided, hierarchies established and detailed rules and regulations laid down.

It all works well work well when the task is straightforward, the environment stable, the same result is required time and time again and human parts of the 'machine' are compliant.

Is your organisation like that? Or is it increasingly subject to external influences which it has no control and the environment it operates in is changing so fast to that detailed strategies can't be implemented before the basis upon which they were formulated is rendered redundant.

Organisations across the spectrum, whether delivering public good or private profit, can, with a little enterprise, get the best out of their staff and not only respond to a changing world more effectively, but begin to shape it too.

This is a bespoke programme with dates organised to suit your organisation.
