HPO Master Class

Description

Dr. André de Waal (author of What Makes A High Performance Organization) and Dave Hanna (author of Designing Organizations For High Performance and The Organizational Survival Code) will lead this two-day workshop that will help you to:

• Gain experience with proven tools and processes that can help you understand the whole system and its results
• Learn what makes the difference between HPOs and other organizations
• Understand how to skillfully redesign an organization to deliver high performance
• Develop your own HPO action plan

This is a highly interactive session in which you will experience the dynamics of the HPO journey. Key elements of the workshop include:

1. Seeing the whole system: all major elements of the system must be aligned to yield sustainable high performance. Single shot improvements seldom affect a system’s performance. You will be introduced to the Organizational Systems Model (OSM), a tool for diagnosing and designing a whole system.

2.Diagnosing poor performance in a real-world case study: in your small group you will connect the dots to see why the case organization is perfectly designed to get the results it gets.

3. What makes a High Performance Organization: a review of the global research, conclusions, and practical implications for your organization.

4. Designing for sustainable high performance: your small group will consider a number of design tools and make specific recommendations to lift the whole system’s performance.

5.A High Performance Partnership (HPP): research, principles, and processes for turning stakeholder transactions into real partnerships.

6.Developing an HPO action plan: summarizing key points to be implemented back home using the workshop tools to become an HPO (including developing one specific High Performance Partnership).

7. Transitioning to an HPO: lessons learned from past client experiences.
