GALT Consulting LLC

In the past year, our team has been involved with over 75 different improvement projects launched within clients who are implementing People-Centric Planning.  Looking back at those projects, we have seen a pattern emerge that can be helpful insight to any organization.  There are 3 types of projects that companies undertake.

1) Processes - You have processes whether they are defined or not.  If they are not defined, your processes are chaotic and uncontrollable.  If they are defined, you have the opportunity to replicate the process and continuously make improvements on it.  Examples of processes include financial, marketing, product quality, etc.

2) Clarity - It is amazing how many organizations suffer from a lack of clarity.  A good vision and mission will help you and your people know what game you are playing, what the rules are, and what winning looks like.  The business owner and every employee should be aligned with this game and know their role in winning, otherwise other games are played that have nothing to do with the success of the overall organization.  Clarity projects include looking a business transitions, the business model, defining a vision and mission, creating a value ladder, etc.

3) People - This is the biggest opportunity for most organizations.  Does every single one of your people have the opportunity to do what they are best at doing every single day?  Then you are missing out on untapped talents.  When you can identify the strengths of your people, you can put them in positions where they "hit the ball out of the park" every single time.  People projects include strengths assessments, motivational studies, community outreach, organizational structure, etc.

My clients are deliberately working through a system (People-Centric Planning) where they are identifying, prioritizing, and executing projects that are improving these areas of their business.  They are seeing some amazing results.
