    How to create an environment​ for breakthrough results in any team.

    ByKarl Perry July 15, 2019March 31, 2023

    Team breakthroughs require a combination of skill and expertise,  constructive interpersonal behaviour and rational thinking. The size of your breakthrough depends on the quality of the decision, multiplied by the degree to which the decision is accepted by those who must implement it.  Quality and Acceptance are brought about through consensus decision-making. Skill and expertise…

    Focus on improving the parts or focus on improving the whole?

    ByKarl Perry July 2, 2019June 30, 2019

    Can we move the whole by focusing on just one part? I wonder what Archimedes would have said?

    “The thing for me is recognising that, as a business leader, you have a responsibility to lead a company for the future, leaving it in a better place in five, 10, 15, or 20 years’ time. My job is to make sure that commercials are strong, the customer experience is great, the culture of the…

    Collective problem solving – three tips to make it better.

    ByKarl Perry June 13, 2019October 19, 2022

    For collective problem solving to be really effective there are three things to get right: 1. Get the right people in the room. It seems obvious but often goes unchecked. Do you have the subject matter expertise in the room or, at a minimum, do you have access to them? Are the decision makers present…

    Remove resistance or harness it?

    ByKarl Perry April 19, 2019March 23, 2023

    There are fundamentally two approaches to dealing with resistance to change. First, we can see the power in it and utilise it in the same way as Dr. Kegan and Dr. Lahey suggest in my last post or, we can see it as harmful and try to eliminate it. In 2001 Prof. Victoria Mabin and…

    ByKarl Perry April 19, 2017March 23, 2023

    “It’s worth remembering that we lived in tribes for millennia, long before we learned how to speak. Emotional connection is our default. We only added words and symbolic logic much later. There are a few places where all that matters is the words. Where the force of logic is sufficient to change the moment. The rest…

    “If one studies true logic, one finds that the answers—and the opponent’s attitude—are in us. So we don’t have to search for the answer, because the question contains the answer in it. It is a matter of going into it in depth; that is the true meaning of logic.” – Chögyam Trungpa

    How Culture Works

    ByKarl Perry October 14, 2016February 7, 2022

    What is culture? ‘Culture’ is a term that has become an important part of any organisation’s vocabulary and a defining characteristic when talking about the organisation to both employees and customers. However, what it really means, how it works, and the impact it has on performance are often misunderstood. At Human Synergistics International, they define “culture”…

    “That ‘change makes us uncomfortable’ is now one of the most widely promoted, widely accepted, and underconsidered half-truths around…. it is not change by itself that makes us uncomfortable; it is not even change that involves taking on something very difficult. Rather, it is change that leaves us feeling defenseless before the dangers we ‘know’…
