Improving the effectiveness of your Top Management Team

When Chief Executives and Senior Managers are asked to assess the current effectiveness of their own Board of Directors or immediate Senior Management Team (SMT), it is not unusual for their assessment to be substantially less than 70%. Improving this level of effectiveness is potentially the fastest way for a Chief Executive to have a major impact on organisational performance. After all, how much more successful could your organisation be, if you could significantly improve the effectiveness of your own Senior Management Team? In one example recently quoted in “Strategy Magazine” the executive, who was managing a business unit of 400 people, used the principles explained in this Master Class to improve efficiency by 40% in five months. Brian Elliott, was quoted as saying this approached “saved the organisation £3 million a year ”.

Why is this team building approach so much more successful than other approaches?
Systems Thinking is increasingly being used throughout the world, because it gives people the perspective to easily solve many types of problems that had seemed insoluble. However, Challenge Mapping is a proven and practical approach that integrates the principles of Systems Thinking with both the Psychology of Human Behaviour and the new sciences that reveal the underlying causes of effective organisation. Challenge Mapping enables Chief Executives to simultaneously improve the effectiveness of their own team of direct reports, and quickly achieve a step improvement in the performance of their whole organisation.

Specifically, in this master class you will learn how to:

• Eliminate “Silo” thinking where many members of the team are only focused on their own specialisms or departments
• Utilise “Systems Thinking” to enable your team to be far more creative and work together effectively to achieve levels of performance that would previously have been considered unobtainable
• Remove “black holes” where no one takes responsibility and ensure the team quickly responds to external changes
• Enable the whole Senior Management Team to see the “big picture” that previously only you were able to comprehend
• Radically reduce wasteful personality conflicts within the team and improve working relationships
• Continually create the same psychological situation in the business and working environment, which enables groups to temporarily become teams on outward bound courses.
• Enable the team to implement changes that will transform resistance into motivation for change within the organisation
• Ensure your team has the initiative, capability and motivation to tackle problems that previously seemed insoluble
• Focus the whole team on working together to continually improve the perceived Value of the organisation
• Enable your team to create genuinely “ joined up solutions” that will dramatically improve “bottom line” performance
• Increase professionalism in the way every member of the team interacts with each other
• Improve your own work-life balance by ensuring your team is taking greater responsibility for achieving success
