Good to Great - Do it Big!

There’s something about working at scale that changes the way we see and think (and feel) about things that makes it much easier for us to make connections and derive insights.

We often say “let’s get another perspective” or “what’s another way of looking at this” – working at scale does just that. By interacting with something big that you can see and touch you engage both body and mind and make use of all your resources. The physical interaction changes our perception and we connect in a real, tangible way with the things we’re working on as well as the people we’re working with.

Andy King and Mike Paton are working with a team who have a successful business, with people who are generally happy and bought into the company, their values and the strategy - but still there’s a feeling that communication is a weakness. This is despite briefings, newsletters, emails etc. setting everything out. So what's going on and, given that more of the same will get the same results, how can things be changed? By “doing it big!”

Here is the big picture they created that’s going on the wall and which they’ll use to have conversations and engage everyone. It captures everything in one place - strategic themes on the left; their journey in the middle; goals and milestones at the bottom; and vision on the right.

At Clareon we see this as being Smart and Healthy. Being Smart is having all your plans, goals, metrics and kpis in place; being Healthy is creating your culture and being able to engage, motivate and align your people.


If you'd like to create something similar with the things that matter in your business please give us a call 01865 987 138 or email Mark Spolander - we love helping people and businesses thrive.
