Natural Partnerships

When was the last time you looked at the various partnerships you have with your suppliers, customers and internal customers? Symbiosis: Natural Partnership is a paper that explains how nature can help you understand your current relationship and points out how it may have changed over time.  Two useful tools are used to explain how to see how 'alive' your business is and how to evaluate your relationships. A copy of the paper is available here http://www.thoughtcrew.net/downloads.php

Change management based on 3.8 billion year old method

The same team, with similar experiences, looking at the same problem tend to come up with the same answer. Or worse, they come up with the answer before really defining the problem. Nature with its fit for purpose approach tends to find novel ways to solve problems using only the resources to hand. However, unlike many businesses, it is prepared to mix it up a bit with some real diversity of input. Typically nature's solutions use less energy and  as a result are more 'environmentally friendly'. For your next meeting why not use a nature inspired facilitated session to see if you can get the team thinking differently about the challenges you face.

You could look at growth, CSR, sustainability, personal development, strategic thinking, innovation or simply motivation as your theme. This is what people are saying about such sessions

I think the senior team all enjoyed working with you, and I think a lot of the difficult decisions we still need to communicate have been enabled through the open discussions  - NHS
Thank you for taking the time to come and speak to the team yesterday – it was extremely enjoyable and enlightening and we’ve had a lot of good feedback already. - Global Consultancy
It is us who should be thanking your for making the day such a great event! We have had some very positive feedback already and your presentation is one of the ones which has been most frequently mentioned! - International packaging company
