Powerful Solution: Return On Involvement

Facilitation Management Consultants

Today's most eminent business leaders and thinkers--such as Jeffrey Immelt, Larry Bossidy, Nancy Austin, Peter F. Drucker, Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Lou Gerstner, Anne M. Mulcahy, Henning Kagerman, Warren Bennis, Barry Diller, Gary Hamel, Daniel Goleman, Rudy Giuliani, Jim Collins, Chang Mong Koo, Andy Grove, Raymond Goleman, Peter Senge, Philip Kotler, Jack Rowe, Michael Porter, Marshall Goldsmith, Craig Venter, Jeremy Siegel, Tom Peters, Bill George, Jack Welch, Clayton Christensen, Robert Nardelli, and Noel Tichy--understand that involving key stakeholders in decisions produces significant benefits, both emotional and financial. Moravec and Associates Facilitation Management Consultants work with clients to help them design systems and implement practices to develop the collaborative capacity to realize these benefits.

There are also remarkable data that support collaboration as a business necessity.

• John Kotter and James Heskett, co-authors of Corporate Culture and Performance, showed that firms and agencies that focused on stakeholders and developed involvement strategies increased revenues over a 12-year period by an average of 682%--versus low-involvement cultures, which turned in an average of only 166%. Net incomes improved by 756% vs. 1% in these same firms.
• The book Why Decisions Fail examined the implementation rates of approximately 400 management decisions and found that over 50% of these decisions failed. The decisions were not implemented at all, were only partially implemented or were adopted but later overturned. The most successful implementation strategy was asking for the participation of those who would be affected by the decision. This execution tactic had the lowest failure rate: 30%. But at 23% usage, it was the least used tactic.

Eminent business executives, change agents, Organizational Development and HR Executives increasingly acknowledge that full participation in any organization yields organizational improvement and increased engagement in the organization, with employees taking new accountabilities, problem solving and recommending solutions to business issues.
