Change Agent
“The quicker you let go of the old cheese, the sooner you find the new cheese”
Dr Spence Johnson
Facilitating a change process in teams and organisations often requires the support of an external change agent. An experienced ZAS Consulting facilitator will design, facilitate and assess the change process in partnership with the client. Our default process is most often strongly aligned with the four stage model utilized by Appreciative Inquiry advocates. The ZAS Consulting Change Agent will act as a facilitator, advocate, manager, mediator, adviser, researcher, trainer and coach to support the client organisation/team to bring about the change they require.
Leadership Coach
“Habits of thinking need not be forever. One of the most significant findings in the last 20 years is that individuals can choose the way they think.”
Martin Seligman
Never before has leadership been so critical to organisational success and yet the recipes for success describing theories and autobiographies continue to be displayed and touted. Our view is that leaders need to forge their own path and determine what excellence in leadership looks like for them. Often the ideal mix to improve leadership is less about theories and more about the formation of insights and habits brought about by coaching and feedback while in action in the real world (the work environment). This is where quality coaching from a ZAS Consulting coach can make a real difference.
Performance Evaluator
"It ain't so much the things we don't know that get us into trouble, it's the things we do know that just ain't so."
Artemus Ward
Performance improvement in any aspect of work, be it production, quality, efficiency, safety or sport, is best preceded by the establishment of baseline measures followed by formative and summative measurement over time. It is our belief that sustainable changes in Enabling Factors such as mindsets, behaviours (habits), culture and systems bring sustainable performance improvement - all of these can be measured. ZAS Consulting provides a variety of measurement options depending on requirements of the project. This includes overview options such as a combination of interviews, focus groups and behaviour observations and can extend to more formal evaluations of all enabling factors.
High Performance Teams Facilitator
“A group becomes a team when each member is sure enough of himself and his contribution to praise the skills of others.”
Norman Shidle
Groups of individuals are more than just the sum of their parts. The degree to which people are engaged and working together effectively is critical to organisational and team success. At ZAS Consulting we focus specifically, on aligning and energising teams so that they have a purposeful and collective view of what the future could be as well as a clear understanding of the way they contribute (Enabling Factors) to team success.
Multi-Dimensional Supporter
“Diversity is the one true thing we all have in common. Celebrate it every day.”
