We don’t always start strong. It takes years of

experience, and practice.

Always important to remind yourself of what

your “why” is

Even though this is your dream, and your business – you’re

buildings dreams and hopes of others.

Times are tough - it’s how we adapt to change and how we innovate that will help to see us through.

can produce the opposite

result.

How to build a healthy organisation

Understand….

• Why do we exist?

• What do we do?

• How do we behave?

• Who must do what?

• How will we succeed?

• What is most important right now?

How to build a healthy organisation

Why do we exist?

Identifying the reason for being, or the

core purpose of your business; this

must be idealistic.

Dream big and think about a bold,

transformed future, the difference you

can make.

How to build a healthy organisation

What do we do?

Simply, does everyone understand the

business and its work? This is very

short definition of what the business

actually does. The nuts and bolts of it

all.

“What we do” is about normal

business, day in and day out.

How to build a healthy organisation

How do we behave?

This is about identifying your

business’s core values or your

organization’s personality.

Consider what you do in

challenging times, not just everyday

operations.

How to build a healthy organisation

“On a change leadership journey our

roots will keep us together”

How will we succeed?

This is the plan for success; collection

of intentional decisions your business

makes to give it the best chance to

succeed and differentiate itself.

This involves creating and agreeing on

a set of strategies to achieve the

business’s long-term vision.

How to build a healthy organisation

Who must do what?

Don’t assume; take the time to clarify

this so that everyone knows this and

agrees with it.

This is about clearly assigning and

defining the roles and responsibilities

within a team.

How to build a healthy organisation

What is most important right now?

This is the one goal that must be achieved

(within a clear time boundary), even if

there are other goals under consideration.

Usually it’s a one year plan. The team

must be unified around the short-term

goals and the tactics needed to

accomplish them.

How to build a healthy organisation

When we win, it’s not just a win for

us. It’s a win for our clients and

employees. They’ll demand better

of us, they’ll push us, they’ll ask us

to bring home gold for them. And

ultimately, that’s why we’re

representing them. Because

they’ve entrusted us to make them

proud.
