Facilitation Service for Mission Vision Values

We provided strategic Facilitation Services to a GM and his Management Team to come up with their organizational mission, vision and values.

Business Challenge

A newly appointed Italian General Manager, of a Shanghai based international trade firm, asked us to design and facilitate a 1 day workshop for his Management Team. The objective being for the Management to acquire facilitation skills and for our facilitator to help them come up with and formalize an organizational mission, vision and corporate values.

Facilitaton Goals

The GM first spent some 1 on 1 time with our coach to explore his ideas for the strategic changes he was considering making in the company. They looked at the changes, from a few perspectives such as the change management aspects, people management issues and organizational structure. After some ad hoc coaching sessions, coach Trip designed a facilitation plan for a group workshop for the management team. The GM, Alberto, was a magnetic leader and naturally attracts people to share his clear organisational vision of leading change, product innovation and caring more. We provided Trip Barthel, a Master Soft Skills Coach and organizational Design Consultant, who is from America and has a wealth of business experience as a leader and a deep knowledge of facilitation skills, appreciative inquiry, conflict management and positive communication.

Facilitation Solution

This was a beautiful and very engaging workshop. More importantly it led to results and real changes being implemented in the business! The workshop had two goals. First, to introduce facilitation principles and a variety of practical techniques to the management team to help them engage their teams better. Second, to provide them with an opportunity to work together on laying the foundation for the strategic changes that were to be implemented. Trip acted as a facilitator and helped the Management Team to brainstorm, discuss, prioritize, evaluate and clarify strategic issues such as supplier management and come up with an initial set of corporate values. It was a real pleasure for NewSkilz to have the opportunity to work with this GM who really CARED about making real changes in his company! (Reference available)
