Bespoke Design
BESPOKE
'Written or adapted for a specific user or purpose'
Oxford English Dictionary
Every business is different and its challenges are best addressed with precision and understanding rather than a one-size-fits-all approach that assumes one solution will apply to all clients.
A typical process for a bespoke programme is as follows:
Stage 1
Understand
What is the current situation and what does success look like? Or put another way: where are we now and where do we want to get to? It’s easy to say and much harder to do … which is why it’s a journey we go on together. It can start as light touch as a phone call and will typically develop to a specific consultation around auditing, assessing and baselining a capability. This involves consulting a range of stakeholders and gauging their view on current behaviours, performance and potential.
Stage 2
Design
In consultation with you we will design a programme to meet your objectives. This accounts for your constraints of time and budget and factors in your baseline data and any specific business challenges.
Stage 3
Deliver
Programme delivery ideally involves an initial off-site period, the advantage being that it allows everyone to shift head space. By guiding you through practical tasks that take you outside your comfort zone, we create the emotional impact that's key to securing positive change that lasts. Alternatively, programmes can be delivered on-line or via a series of on-site workshops.
Stage 4
Practice & Embed
Convert intentions into lasting sustainable change. Performance development takes time, sustained effort, deliberate practice, close attention to feedback and honestly holding yourself and others to account. This is where most programmes fail but for us this is the critical stage. We help you design a systematic approach to performance development that can be applied at work, whilst working. Coaching, follow up workshops, embedding lessons identified, performance audits, check-ins and nudge emails all help to work through the friction of making real change.
