When a group of leaders are aligned and high performing, the entire organization benefits

Coordinating the flow of communications across a leadership team is challenging, and there can often be long-standing friction around decision making and mutual accountability. Boosting trust and shared commitment is crucial.

Kenning supports top teams, offering a structured assessment of what is working well and what elements might be missing. Through high-touch diagnostics and facilitated working sessions and offsites, we help the members of a team step back to reflect on their dynamics and engage in more productive discussion.

The culture of an organization matters for performance.

When leaders articulate a culture concern – a lack of resiliency, or teams not working well together – Kenning starts by taking a close look. Using our 3D diagnostic, we canvass a cross-section of employees to create a picture of the challenge.

• What’s working and what isn’t?
• What ideas are out there for making things better?
• What mindsets are preventing change?

Synthesizing the results, we work with executives to map the whole system – the current culture and the overall business strategy. We guide them to define a culture that would better support the strategy – a learning culture, a collaborative culture, or a culture of innovation.  With this aspiration, executives have a clear leadership declaration and can point the way forward to an effective change program.

Kenning then supports changes that improve culture. Programs usually include one-on-one coaching for team members as they gain perspective on their contributions to effective change. We also support groups of colleagues to facilitate open dialogue and planning, guiding them through a comprehensive set of learning and coaching experiences.
