Align Your Organization by Implementing

THE FIVE CORE ELEMENTS OF ORGANIZATIONAL EXCELLENCE

HOW WE DO IT

PRESEASON WORK

1. Take the SPORT assessment and identify the areas of opportunity for improvement in your organization

Every organization is better at some things than others. Ironically, it is often the case that leaders have less than 20/20 vision when viewing themselves and their organization. We first work with organizations to identify the blind spots and in what areas perceptions are not unanimous across the organization.

Implementation: Meeting with GrowthSPORT and executive/administrative management (head player-coaches)

  • Who attends: top level leaders (executive or administrative leadership)
  • Overview SPORT methodology (teach)
  • Process to identify opportunities for improvement

2. Create a SPORT Map

Alignment starts at the top of any organization. After understanding the focus points for improvement in an organization, we work with senior leadership to get crystal clear on why the organization exists, what it is trying to accomplish, by when it will achieve its objectives, how it will accomplish its objectives, and where the work will be done. Once this foundation is in place, we prepare leaders to help cascade inter-dependent goals and lead behaviors throughout the entire organization.

Implementation: Two meetings between GrowthSPORT and the organization’s leaders

  1. Middle Management (Position player-coaches) Meeting
    1. Who attends: 3rd level managers on up
    2. Overview SPORT methodology (teach)
    3. Validation of Head Player-Coaches work
    4. Develop Position Player-Coach strategic goals
    5. Identify/create scoreboards
    6. Understand gamification of operation
  2. Lower Management (player-coaches) Meeting
    1. Who attends: 2nd level managers
    2. Overview SPORT methodology (teach)
    3. Validation of Head and Position Player-Coaches’ strategies and goals
    4. Develop Player-Coach strategic goals
    5. Develop lead behavior activities
    6. Develop scoreboard concepts
    7. Implement daily and weekly performance review meetings (film sessions)
    8. Gamification implementation
