How We Assist Corporations to be On-Purpose

You need to be ‘corporately courageous’ to work with members of the On-Purpose® Team.  Why?  Because we challenge you to think “outside the square”.

Most organisations have learned to operate within the current business paradigms and focus on the best they can do within their known paradigm.  By doing so they lock themselves into a scenario where some of the biggest issues and problems facing modern organisations still remain unanswered.

It’s not that you and your organisation are not working hard, but old thinking can often lead to ‘paradigm blindness’.  Consider what some of our highly thought of corporate leaders said. How“blind” were they?

• “The phonograph is of no commercial value” (Thomas Edison)
• “Who the hell wants to hear actors talk”  (Harry Warner - Warner Bros)
• “I think there is a world market for about five computers.” (Thomas Watson - Chairman of IBM 1943)
• “There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in their home.” (Ken Olsen 1977)

The speed at which business and product innovation is moving at today means CEOs and managers  need a fresh set of skills. Identifying problems before they become problems and leveraging opportunities in time to launch them onto the market ahead of competitors are now required. 

History has shown that frequently answers lie outside the square and an outsider shows the way – a paradigm shifter or pioneer- an On-Purpose Partner. If you want to move from good to great and to be On-Purpose, we would be honoured to work with you.  We value customer confluence are on-purpose when we have on-purpose customers/clients.

How can On-Purpose Partners work with you?

 After meeting with you to identify your needs and wants we we tailor our products and services to assist your situation.  You could draw from the following.

1. Strategic Thinking Workshops based on the Four Pillars of The On-Purpose Organisation and the On-Purpose Service Model.  These workshops help everyone in the organisation, from the mail room to the board room, to be doing business 'on the same page'.
2. Typically we work with managers and team leaders to develop and implement a strategic story based around the Purpose, Plan, People, Process, and Performance of the organisation.  All these combine hierarchically to service your customers/clients.  A series of guiding questions  derived from the books The On-Purpose Business (Kevin W. McCarthy) and Good to Great (Jim Collins) form the basis of our strategic thinking workshops. 
3. Our Strategic Thinking Framework is available for purchase from our Store.
4. Developing Managers as Coaches.  On-Purpose Partners has recently released a highly practical two-day workshop (plus on-going training) to train managers to coach in the workplace and to implement a coaching culture within their organisation.  Originally commissioned by an international HR company, On-Purpose Partners has retained the rights to use this.
5. Executive and Workplace Coaching.  We draw on experienced coaches (all authors in leadership and management also)  to assist your organisation. 
   6.  TOP Performer Workshop.  (Click for Link).  This one day workshop cleverly takes the principles of The On-Purpose Business and the unique Four Pillars of an on-purpose organisation and applies them to individual team members of your organisation.  It’s an introductory 'must do' for organisations seeking to improve the Purpose, Productivity and Performance of their team members.
