Building Commitment

What

Trains managers to use participative brainstorming, decision-making, and action-planning techniques. Team members rapidly drive to closure on action items to which they feel a sense of personal responsibility for success. This methodology can then be used whenever managers need to build commitment for a significant change.

This program builds skills in:

  • Effectively communicating key strategic or operational changes (refresher from Strategic Leadership Basics).
  • Helping the team to identify “what do these changes mean for us?”
  • Brainstorming on initiatives the team can implement to support the strategy.
  • Identifying which key initiatives should be prioritized.
  • Clearly determining which initiatives the team will commit to, and who will be accountable for those initiatives.

For whom

Targeted to managers who need to rapidly build commitment to the organization’s newly launched strategy or to newly introduced operational changes (e.g. introduction of SAP).
