Consulting
Organisational impasses can involve many issues in many forms for each party to the impasse. New organisational initiatives, projects at all stages, and day-to-day transactions occur within a system of organisational and personal dynamics. I provide an analysis of the situation together with recommendations for resolution. The focus is always a graceful outcome, meaning the difficult dynamics which produced the impasse and contained throughout the resolution process and lead to a potential positive working relationship of the parties going forward.
Some frequent issues are:
- The effect of unexpressed influence by known and often unknown 'others' and stakeholders.
- Perceived challenges to
the way we do things round here, (a threat to culture) by those directly and indirectly associated.
- Optimism bias from shop floor to boardroom develops unintentionally.
- Unexpressed assumptions of the effects should the impasse be resolved.
