Systemic Team Coaching©
Resources for improvement are often already present within your organisation but are gridlocked by the culture and poor collaboration;
Support is needed to unlock and develop people – skills, mindsets, innovation.
Team and Leadership Coaching enables this.
Continuous Improvement? Or Transformation/Innovation?
• Continuous improvement = fix the problems and largely keep doing more of the same as you do now – External and internal conditions are largely stable
– Strategy: Manage the status quo
• Transformation/Innovation – a game-changing reframe of the organisation(s) – “wicked” problems – responding to significant changes in external and /or
internal conditions which are complex and ambiguous
– Strategy: build adaptive capacity for rapid constant development

Powerful technologies, natural forces, discoveries, alliances and inventions are transforming our world before our eyes.
We have to raise our consciousness above the level of the problems to even begin to solve
them.
Hypothesis for Today
• The level at which organisations are thinking is only touching the surface.
• VUCA is an attempt to describe our current experience, but it does not describe the journey into the future adequately.
• Reaching the deep level of transformation and innovation our systems require involves a much deeper... and higher...stretch
Why is Change so Hard?
6 Only one transformation in three succeeds (2008 McKinsey survey of 3,199 executives)
The challenges lie in what you cannot see!
Like an iceberg, nine-tenths of culture is out
of conscious awareness. This "hidden" part of
culture has become termed "deep culture"
Managing Integrated Change

Individual CONTEXT
Change in any one quadrant or the external context impacts all quadrants. Successful organisation development requires change alignment in all four quadrants in response to what is emerging in the external context.

Change is a brave journey. Like sailing a boat in a storm. Teams are an effective vehicle for the journey.
Becoming a change agent is courageous a journey in itself.
“Make no mistake about it. Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It’s seeing through the facade or pretence. It’s the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.” Most of the time, people are not up for doing this work. And that’s ok.” Adyashanti
