Organisational Coaching

He’s quite right, it’s an excellent idea! Everyone in the meeting agrees, and everyone signs up: from Monday onwards, this new procedure will be adopted in every area. But even as they nod their agreement, you know that she, on your left, will let things lapse into the old way of working, and he, on your right, will do nothing to stop her: for all its merit, that sparkling idea will wither on the vine. What you have just brushed up against is organisational culture. What can you do about it?

The truth is that there are times – every day, and in every healthcare organisation – where the delivery of healthcare falls short of what is possible. It falls short of patients’ needs, hopes and expectations, and it falls short of staff intentions and ambitions.

And, despite the best will in the world, efforts to address those short comings too often fail: fine aspirations seldom seem to translate into fine deeds. Usually, it is a failure to understand and prepare the culture of the workplace.

No matter how well developed the leader, his or her impact is entirely dependent upon the environment of the organisation in which they work - there simply is no substitute for the emotional involvement, support and goodwill of frontline staff.

Our unique Organisational Coaching Programme addresses the crucial, consistent, but poorly understood and rarely engaged issue of shaping workplace culture. To understand how it can work for you, you should have a conversation with us...
