We work with

Diagnosis

If you have a pain in your lower belly do you go to the doctor and ask to have your appendix out? - Or do you talk with the doctor using your knowledge of your ailment and the doctor's knowledge of medicine to arrive at an intelligent diagnosis?

Similarly, much of the value of a consulting company like Group Institute International is in working closely with the client to develop an accurate diagnosis

Working with what is actually there

 From the moment that Group Institute International starts working in the 'intervention' phase with your organization, we pay close attention to what occurs so that our 'treatment' can change rapidly to suit emerging new information.

Group Institute International understands that there are five fundamental principles that create effective organizations.

  1. Clarity of purpose for teams at all levels
  2. Adequately clear but appropriately flexible systems and role definitions
  3. Relationships that support effective communication throughout the organization and with key customers and stake holders
  4. Competent and motivated individuals and teams
  5. Realistic values that are supported by visible congruent actions

Each of these elements exists at both the overt level and at the hidden level and Group Institute International integrates the work at both levels. It is relatively simple to address issues at the overt level but the hidden 'organizational politics' and complex webs of informal relationships and influence require a more sophisticated approach. It is these more difficult to address issues that make or break the success of organizations and hence the success of a consulting assignment.
