Google on the ropes? Zappos the best ever? Neither. One uses organizational planning. How’s that relevant to my organization?
In my efforts to talk about issues organizations face and then weave SF into the conversation (vs weaving client issues into the SF conversation) I posted this blog. I mention this one because I have seen a lot of managers - usually the younger ones - who realize that organizational planning isn't something that gets done to them by HR or OD, but a strategic issue that ties in with strategic and operational planning.…

Problem Focused Organizations: looking for a solution
I'll shortly publish a book (a somewhat thin affair, but of substance). The theme of the book is that organizations need to rid themselves of problem focus.
Not very solution focused I hear you say. Yes, but the message is for managers in organizations who want an additional tool to help them deal with change, planning etc.
Hence, the 'positioning' around problems. An attention getter!
My opening shot on the theme is in this blog post:…

Monika Houck said… - Hello Alan,
good to hear from you.
yes, you are right projectmanagement and IT are great areas for the SF approach.
It make a big difference to the usual approach.
Especially important in projects as it is an area where listening is so important - and taking your clients view - who is the expert on his needs.
Take care
Monika
