personal and organizational
transformation go hand in hand
A successful transformation, especially in terms of sustainability, involves three key components.
While most organizations master the first two components, the third one is greatly supported by greytogreen.
1.
Direction-setting by the leaders
is crucial in creating focus and laying out a clear vision and strategy for the transformation.
2.
Cross-functional core process redesign
is essential to connect various activities, functions, metrics and information to implement the strategy.
3.
The activation of a company-wide movement to make it happen
is necessary for constructive and authentic collaboration across teams and hierarchies.

Too often…we remain stuck in old patterns of seeing and acting. By encouraging deeper levels of learning, we create an awareness of the larger whole, leading to actions that can help to shape its evolution and our future.

By paying attention to feelings and needs, authentic communication helps cultivate the sense that “I matter, you matter, we matter,” which can improve relationships, build team spirit and contribute to the growth of the organization.

I matter, you matter,
we matter
Improve your listening skills and emotional intelligence
- learn to identify your own stress-induced autopilot reactions,
- understand those of others and create empathy
- move beyond being limited by unconscious assumptions and beliefs.
- take objective, conscious and constructive action, together
Change your
perception of
reality
Change your perspective on change, make diversity a strength
- together, explore and openly discuss your thoughts and feelings around workplace issues, new initiatives and disruptive changes.
- consider alternative viewpoints, previously obscured by unverified assumptions, fear, personal rivalries, or organizational roadblocks.
If you want to change, you have to change twice. You not only need to change the reality of your situation; you also need to change your perception of this reality.

Study after study indicates that employee emotions are fundamentally related to and drive bottom-line success in a company. Emotions are directly connected to whether our needs are met or unmet.
