As an Agendashift partner, Mike is in the business of building wholehearted organisations.
Mike shares in our mission is to help organisations grow in wholeheartedness – helping them become less at war with themselves, their obstacles, imbalances, and contradictions identified and owned, creating both value and meaning in the process.
Equipped with all the tools of a Agendashift partner, Mike can serve you in a number of ways:
- Help you increase effective participation across and between strategy, development, and delivery
- Help you articulate the outcomes around which your operational, improvement, and transformational work should be aligned, a facilitated, participatory process
- Help your organisation embrace the language of outcomes, minimising lazy prescription and freeing people and teams to find innovative solutions to your most important challenges
- Help your organisation on its path to wholeheartedness, facilitating the formation, pursuit, and ongoing development of an effective transformation strategy
