The Process
Step 1: Masterclass: A strategic level masterclass designed to enable your executive and senior leaders to understand the concept of social capital and apply it, aligning it to existing target operating models and strategic visions.
Step 2: Achieving transformation through applied learning process: We offer two possible scenarios to take the knowledge from the masterclass and apply it to the organisational operating model: one is a strategic appreciative inquiry process which is a coproduced way of addressing a key operating challenge for building social capital. The other is a more traditional rapid review of social capital within your organisation and how it could be strengthened.
Both will enable you to bring your vision to life by tapping into the assets within your organisation so that you can connect with the untapped potential and resources from within your communities.
Step 3: Coaching: With a delivery in place from the above we work with a selection of community and senior leaders to coach them through the ‘making it happen’ stage of building social capital. This takes social capital beyond one person’s portfolio to an embedded critical mass of people who can start to rethink public service delivery.
