"...Don't
believe what your eyes are telling you.
All they show is limitation.
Look with your understanding,
find out what you already know and you will see the way to fly"
Jonathon Livingstone Seagull
Our
Approach
FARBEYOND
operates in the area of organizational transformation for performance
development. Our work is about helping leaders of businesses/teams
to reframe their current reality, to articulate their business
ambitions, to make choices as to what they want to see different
and to create impact with speed and collective engagement. This
we see as a partnership in support of their ambitions to create
growth.
FARBEYOND is a network of experts in
the field of developing individual, team and organizational performance.
The project teams work on a broad platform that ranges from diagnostic
work, design and delivery of training programs and interventions,
to coaching key leaders to superior performance.
Our contribution to the business is to help building skills in
visioning, personal mastery, giving and receiving feedback, deriving
insights beyond what is obvious, assessing needs, planning effective
actions and reviewing and challenging progress: with these skills,
the organization is enabled to take charge of its path and to
mastermind future changes. The perception of business targets
is altered from a set of obligations to exciting opportunities.
This, we believe, builds a capacity for growth in the business
and this capacity can become an important indicator of the permanence
and quality of its leaders’ legacy.
Our unique value is in the way we interact with you and your people,
in the way we encourage you to reconsider how you see things and
what’s possible, in the way we help you engage your people
into the process and awaken responsibility and commitment
Our interactions are tailor-made to “this organization”,
for “this moment- in –time”, given their particular
intentions and reality: each organization is unique, as is each
individual within that organization. In the design, we blend relevant
approaches, research, assessment tools and expertise with coaching
techniques that are proven to help organizations to shift performance.
We operate with a three- phase process, typically lasting from
6 to 8 months and leaving the leadership team with the skills
required to sustain the transformation.:
PHASE
1: The Diagnostic
We hold one-to-one conversations with the CEO, Board Members and
with individuals from all layers of the organization to collect
data; we observe life in the work place, attitudes in people and
prominent behaviors. While the primary purpose of this phase is
diagnostic, we often see changes beginning this early in the project.
This phase lasts from 1 to 2 months depending on the size of the
business.
PHASE 2:
The Plan
We derive insights through a discerning review of reality regarding
people and performance. We identify attitudes, behaviors and underlying
values that will deliver a shift in performance. We then consolidate
and give feedback to the top leadership team. Based on that, we
help the leadership team to decide whom to engage into the process,
to design a transformation plan and to take charge of its delivery.
The plan covers commitments, responsible leaders for each action,
dates and success criteria. This phase typically lasts around
2 months.
Given the plan that is generated by the leadership team, we agree
our various roles to support the business. Also at this stage,
our coaches make performance-coaching contracts with the leaders/teams
who ask for coaching support. These contracts target specific
results, to be reached within the following 3-4 months.
PHASE3: The Implementation
During the implementation of the plan, our roles vary from designing
interventions, training, advising and sharing experience to performance-coaching
for key leaders/teams. The aim is to build into the business,
a capacity to move with speed and commitment to reach the business
ambition. The length of this phase depends on theextend by which
the business wants to go on building capacity to sustain self-challenge
and transformation to face changing environment and goals
