Application
The way in which the component parts of an organisation inter-react and influence
one another cannot be seen from a structure or even process chart. Our graphic holistic
modelling technique is a way of obtaining that understanding efficiently and relatively
quickly and can prove to be invaluable when it is undertaken prior to any major change
or initiative.
Our process
The technique has two phases:
The first phase is to create a high-level graphic model of the key interdependencies
and influences in the organisation. This is typically done in one or more workshops,
which serve the dual purpose of combining multiple views (as no one person has the
full picture) and achieving wide buy-in to the results.
The second phase makes full use of the power of the model to track back the influences
and interdependencies that attach to any node of the model - the organisation’s key
goals, major functions and business drivers, intangible assets, significant weaknesses
and risks, using that insight to influence a wide range of corporate activities.
The two stages are illustrated opposite.
