Joint Purpose@Work helps leaders build organisations and teams that make a difference.

The two variations of Joint Purpose@Work differentiate on their scale and complexity. They are meant to enable both organisations as a whole as well as individual teams operate from their purpose.

Programs

Company Purpose is the approach we use to help you discover what makes your organisation unique. Consecutively, we validate the gap between the difference it is meant to make and its reality. Both you as a leader and your associates get tools to help them enable structures, processes, and human behaviors that contribute to the difference you want to make in the world.

Company Purpose

Before
You are a business leader who seeks to build a high performing organisation. Although you are passionate about excellence and flow, you are faced with distracted and under-utilized associates. There are multiple indicators that your people need inspiration, facilitation and guidance so that they can contribute more effectively. But how?

During
With Company Purpose we guide you through a three-step approach towards a sustainable transformation. The success of the program depends on senior sponsorship and requires engagement on all organisational levels.

The process comprises the following steps:

Step 1: Company Purpose discovery
Step 2: Individual drives across the organisation
Step 3: Purpose Alignment

Step 1: Company Purpose Discovery

Together with you and your (management) team we discuss look back to the origin of the company and the difference it initially wanted to make, what changed along the way and why. This shapes the blueprint of your Company Purpose. The blueprint is the output of Step 1 and the input for the detailed framework required for Step 2.

Step 2: Individual drives across the organisation

This is the reality check. We initiate a dialogue with your associates to get an impression of what happens below the surface. We explore the gap between the leadership aspirations and the perception of the associates. Based on our experience, we expect the unexpected. We take the time for proper analysis of our observations and go back ‘on the field’ if further research is required. Only after a thorough analysis for which we utilize both our hard and our soft skills, do we proceed with report to you. The report is the output of Step 2 and the input for Step 3.

Step 3: Purpose Alignment

There are multiple scenarios for Step 3. The specific execution approach is inferior to the main objective of the program, which is that the organisation’s purpose becomes visible in any activity an associate undertakes. Whatever approach we agree upon, a lot of effort will be required. Prerequisites for success are commitment by the senior sponsorship, structured approach and open dialogue on all levels.

After
On the short run your employees spend more time on work that makes the difference. You notice they collaborate more and actively seek help from colleagues outside their departments. On the long run your customers experience greater satisfaction and stay longer with your business.

Team Purpose is our approach to help you reset the focus of a smaller group of people and act from a sense of meaning. This could be your management team, a functional team of a focus group. We guide you towards lasting synergy and collaboration across the team. This is what we see as the fundament for positive results on the long run.

Team Purpose

Before
You are a team leader and you are responsible for your team’s results. The results however are not what you or other leaders in your organisation would expect them to be. You know your team could create more. The lack of motivation of your associates frustrates you and you are looking for new sources of inspiration so that your team members act now and act focused.

During

Team Purpose is a program we tailor for your specific situation based on a dialogue with you. The following steps help us ensure the effect of the program matches your needs and expectations:

Intake

Follow-up

1. Intake

During the intake you have the opportunity to bring in you own cases which proof that your team is underperforming. We also listen to your success stories. What you can expect from us, is that during the conversation you will get a rough idea what your program will look like. This gives you the opportunity to confirm that all relevant aspects are covered before we proceed with detailing out the program.

2. Team Purpose

The program we offer is very pragmatic, matching the reality of your team. We focus on that which works so that your team gets activated and the collaboration and the synergy improve. Jointly with your team you work on your Team Purpose statement, which gives you direction, and on personal and team execution plans. This enables each team member to understand and embrace that which the team stands for, and how that fits in the organisation. As a result team members see opportunities to step into roles that lies fully in line with your purpose.

3. Follow-up

In consultation with you we come back 6 to 8 weeks upon program completion to provide you and your team with any additional support you may need. We look forward to hearing from you which insights have triggered the most significant transformation and how you plan on doing more of that.

After
Leading your team is significantly easier than before. The personal commitment of each team member to the team purpose gives you direct access to your team’s energy and inspiration sources. People seek feedback instead of fearing it because everybody wants to contribute to the greater good.
