    Course Description

    It is critical for organisations to seize opportunities to provide better products and services for your customers and clients. In business, it’s a competitive advantage. In the public sector, customer service performance indicators are constantly monitored for funding and resourcing decisions. The challenge is that it’s much easier to ridicule ideas rather than to take risks exploring opportunities. At a discussion table, it is much easier to find reasons why a concept won’t succeed. Consequently, resisting change and quashing creative ideas hinders organisational opportunities. Imagine if you could unhinge negative thinking styles and transform them into plans of action. This program is guaranteed to change the way concepts are considered and will promote action rather than following the path of least resistance.

    6 signs that your meetings have too much negative thinking styles and change resistors

    1. At least twice as much time is spent talking about why concepts won’t work.

    2. Communications silos have built up in your organisation with many fiefdom disputes.

    3. Negative speakers get more air time at meetings.

    4. Often no matter what the new concept is, the objections will be similar.

    5. Doing a lot of analysis and critiquing is mistaken for doing a lot.

    6. Much more time is spent accumulating “new” information rather than acting on existing information.

    Be wary of people smart enough to stop things from happening but not action orientated enough to find ways of overcoming the problems and hurdles they have identified. (Pfeffer and Sutton 2000) Pfeffer, J & Sutton R (2000)
