A collaborative, co-operative team efficiently operating as one with zero conflict
It’s not that people work against each other intentionally, they just work in their own interest. For example, the marketing team want to speed up the product launch to capture market share, but the finance team want to slow it down to achieve cash flow, ROI or surety of the project. Neither is wrong, but they are misaligned and not unified.
All of this creates differences, colliding agendas, me first, and so on, which then generates conflicts. Who suffers? Customers, own organisation, colleagues and of-course themselves personally.
In-fact looking at the world in general today unity is the most vital missing factor. From Trump’s America First position to Brexit to the West Bank conflict etc. the world is increasingly divided and in disarray, unhappy. People are fighting each other over anything and everything.
Valuepreneurship® has a compelling, simple answer to reverse this with Sanjeev Loomba’s technique of The Point Of Zero Conflict©. Yes, there is a point at which conflict is actually zero. If we start all meetings, conversations, planning and projects from that point and constantly cross-refer to it, there can be no conflict. This point is the genuine discovered value of whom we are serving together. Conflict arises when two parties live in the ‘me and mine’; they take positions against each other. The power of customer’s true end value becoming the Point of zero conflict is that it doesn’t belong to you nor me. It is independent of you and me, yet it is the only thing that binds us. If it weren’t there, we wouldn’t be in this relationship. All argument has gone, and this is the single point of alignment. I see it working beautifully every time.
The head of legal services for a giant telecom wrote to me recently, I quote – ‘we went into this three-day retreat as fourteen disparate heads of departments, misaligned and disagreeing. You deconstructed us, reconstructed us and two weeks later we are taking some sharp decisions together, but shockingly we are enjoying working together. Thanks’.
This program will help you, as it has thousands before, to achieve that unity and generate amazing mutual results. We will understand true value then practice the techniques of getting collaborative alignment using your own real situations and live cases. It’s fail-safe. We will also work on how to unify your entire team and bring alignment across the organisation. Whether it is different functions, external collaborative partners like distributors merged or acquired teams, etc.
The result of this harmonised working, as I see every-time is superb results for customers, our own organisation, the teams and individuals working in them. There is a happier atmosphere in the organisation, and people are volunteering to help each other. After a recent program like this, the CEO called in surprise to say why are my plant manager and sales director speaking to each other so nicely over solving a problem?
