A springboard to innovation
Do you see your organisation as an innovative or is there a sense that more could be done?
Is there something missing – a lack of cohesion or commitment? Are you spotting all the good things that are happening and taking full advantage of them? Are communications grounded in rumours and grumbles?
An Organisational Health Check could fill in the gaps and point to where you can take positive action.
We provide platforms for employees’ voices and hold conversations with peer groups and diagonal slice groups. We encourage collective remembering and build shared stories and real-time experiences into non-judgmental observations. We deploy specialist skills and experience to capture these stories.
As an external influence we build trust and this helps reveal the stories and opinions that are usually only heard at home or down the pub and that the Board never hears.
Our reports are often eye-opening even shocking to Board members but the new insight and information we provide have tangible, transparent and practical outcomes.
An Organisational Health Check is like an MRI scan. It is a sophisticated diagnostic tool that uses evidence that already exists in all parts of the organisation and acts as a springboard to release the innovative potential of all employees.

Yet research evidence and practical experience alike suggest that improvements in productivity will be achieved mainly by enhancing human labour through digital assistance rather than replacing it. In short, organisations are unlikely to achieve a full return on investment unless technological innovation and human factors are considered together.
