Additional Background Information

People in every workforce of every company have been waiting for an organisational response to the changing world of employment. They are looking for new working relationships with the organisations that employ them. They see the need to do away with traditional job demarcations. They understand that they have to become multi-skilled and to multi-task in order to produce competitive finished goods for the business to sell. They have been waiting for managers within organisations to establish more collaborative ways of doing work that allows them to make a valued contribution to the business. Most of these people have been bitterly disappointed, left the company or died waiting! What companies need today are leaders with good management skills. What they have is mediocre management with little or no leadership in evidence!

It is the spark that could ignite a whole new enthusiasm for the task of managing processes and leading people to achieve key business objectives. It is also the key to improved productivity and low staff turnover.
