The occasion Improving the organisation

You want to improve the organisation and know that employees can see where things could be better.

What you achieve
  • Concrete opportunities for improvement from within the organisation
  • Ideas that are broadly supported
  • Greater employee engagement

Improvement programmes are often devised by a small group. The knowledge and ideas of the people who do the work remain untapped.

In a dialogue, employees put forward opportunities for improvement themselves and vote on each other's ideas. You see which improvements are broadly supported, and employees see that their input matters.

The approach 3 steps

From question to a next step people stand behind

We guide every step. What we mainly ask of you is substance: two meetings beforehand and a co-moderator during the session.

  1. Step 1

    The improvement question

    Together we word a question that invites concrete ideas, for example about processes, collaboration or customer focus.

  2. Step 2

    The dialogue

    Employees anonymously put forward ideas, respond to each other and vote on the best proposals.

  3. Step 3

    From idea to action

    The outcome shows which improvements are broadly supported, so you can choose where to begin.

From three core values to recognisable behaviour

More than 700 employees each described what a new culture means in their everyday work. The result became a culture compass.

Questions about improving the organisation

Is your question not listed? Ask it in an introductory call.

Why does this contribute to engagement?

Employees do not just contribute ideas, they also see that their ideas are taken seriously. That active contribution is part of how the organisation becomes stronger.

What happens to the ideas?

Based on the outcome you choose which improvements to take up, and report back to the participants.

How do you tell good ideas from stray wishes?

Participants rate each other's ideas anonymously. That shows which opportunities for improvement are broadly supported, and which live only with a small group.

Four application areas

Every application works with the same live dialogue.

Ask one question of everyone it concerns

In a demo we show you how your question works as a dialogue: what you ask, who you invite and what you'll have at the end.
