Developing great organisations ...
 ... in a sea of change

The Lion and the Gazelle

When the gazelle wakes up in the morning, it knows that it has to run faster than the lion – otherwise it will be eaten.

It is morning - start running!

The Magus Toolbox is a set of discovery and change methodologies that share common goals and an underpinning design philosophy.

The application of the methodologies achieves the following overarching goals:

  • To develop innovative solutions to organisational performance challenges that will deliver against agreed business objectives
     
  • To stimulate and facilitate change processes that continue after the initial intervention
     
  • To develop the capacity to change in business and public sector organisations
     
  • To develop the problem resolution capacity of client organisations

The design philosophy is based in extensive research into why change programmes fail, and how to beat the poor track record of such programmes. The key features are:

  • Providing very good information, presented graphically, that describes the organisational realities of people working in the area of the organisation where the problem exists
     
  • Through front end discovery processes, ensuring that the information links the issues challenging people with the business priorities of the organisation
     
  • Providing a safe opportunity for the same people to analyse the information, and identify both superficial and root causes
     
  • Facilitating the review process through to the identification of developmental actions required, and the planning of the implementation of those actions.
     
  • Getting performance improvements and related changes in place - now, when they are needed
     

It is morning – start running!
