• The process is linked to the current strategic intent and it compliments current processes and interventions happening within the team environment.
• The entire process is aimed at addressing current attitudes and moulding desirable behaviour. As such, it should be people and not process focused.
• The end result is an increased team ability to confront, handle and work with the current and future dynamics within the organisation.
  
  
   
• There are 2 main areas where we believe that the greatest amount of attention needs to be placed in order to bring about a successful culture change process:
  • A clear common goal - as illustrated by the "WHAT" in the diagram. This is often linked not only to the vision, mission and values, but also the strategic objectives.
  • People behaviour as illustrated under the "WHO" portion of the diagram. This could be further broken down into a focus on management/leadership on the one side and teams/team members on the other.
• In order to address the above, the following would need to occur:
  • The common goal needs to be determined and agreed upon by all the relevant role players.
  • A simple, concise and clear message and explanation has to go out to the whole organisation.
  • The message needs to be made visible and needs to become entrenched in the hearts and minds of the people.

Customisation of Mission Elephant:

• We combine the outcomes from the Initial Audit and Interviews process with our proven processes and technology so as to ensure an excellent outcome for the team.
• All of our interventions follow a specific delivery sequence, which ensures that teams develop per the required objective and thus support the transformation process.
• This is a 5-step process:
  1. Experience a real life situation
  2. Analyse the result - structured feedback sessions led by skilled facilitators
  3. Come to a facilitated realisation: realise how they could have handled it better
  4. Learn an appropriate new skill - to improve individual and team performance
  5. Practice and apply new skill until it results in ability and enhanced performance
