Circling the Dragon: Diagnosing and Resolving Organizational Culture Issues

Overview

You are running a project, or you are involved in an issue that does not have an apparent solution. The problem log is growing, and the number of meetings is increasing but no real progress is being made regardless of how much work is being done. The people working on it are stressed, the fingers are pointing outward, and people are trying to get out of the problem and not necessarily solve the problem. This leads to personality clashes, ineffective problem solving and additional work.   
 
You will learn how to break down a problem and issue into a pattern to get to the solution.   Solutions reduce stress, problems increase stress. The structure of the workshop is about how to get to the root cause and not just deal with the symptoms. You will learn an approach that is simple to follow, simple to execute and highly effective. The problem to solve can range from how to pick a place for dinner, how to assess issues by constraints on time, budget and scope,  to solving a complex issue that has more than one cause. This pragmatic approach has been proven to be successful from coaching motion offence in basketball, to diagnosing complex medical problems to full  scale battlefield engagements to everything in between. See a problem, fix a problem. This workshop will give you valuable tools for your kitbag on how to fix problems. People get very anxious when there is an issue, either as the person trying to solve it or the person asking for help to get it solved for themselves. We are surrounded by issues and how we process the options in front of us from our personal lives to our professional lives will be actionable from what will be covered in this short easy to follow workshop.
