2. takes the view that organisations are analogous to “living” entities
that require specific conditions to survive, thrive and endure even in the face of external pressure.
These conditions are:
1. Inspiration 3. Staging 5. Memory
2. Differentiation 4. Mechanics 6. Innovation
Each condition works in a continuum increasing organisational capacity and productivity.
In order for organisations to have these conditions present leaders and managers must learn how to
identify and attract specific people and also create and cultivate the right work environment through
policies and processes.
To better understand its best to look at each condition as attributes of specific people or teams. The
conditions will exist for the organisation when the right people are supplied with proper inputs and thus
allowing them to use their skills to output will be the desired condition. This basically means that every
organisation will have six types of productive employees.
I. These individuals have the ability to illuminate specific courses of action with relevant data,
information and understanding.
II. These will be the individuals whose quality of work will provide the basis for organisational
standards.
III. Stagers will create the physical environment ensuring standards can be applied “globally” in
the organisation.
IV. They supply the operational efficiency. They are the individuals who run the system on a daily
basis and keep operations run efficiently.
V.
They know how and why things work and reinforce corporate values.
VI.
They create a basis for consistent and continual incremental improvement.
The Progression Skills Develop Training seeks to empower organisational leadership with the
knowledge and tools for sustained progression and deliver improved employee engagement.
It can be delivered in two formats:
1. As a comprehensive framework for management and employees (in separate or joint sessions)
2. As distinct modules of any of the seven profiles based on management assessment or specific
organisational, unit or team requirements.
