EFFECTIVE GROWTH MANAGEMENT ADVICE
Growth challenges? We support successful transformation!
EFFECTIVE GROWTH MANAGEMENT ADVICE
Growth challenges? We support successful transformation!
1.
Scaling processes
As a company grows, certain processes may not work at a larger scale. Instead of simply copying, we break processes down into their elements and apply new combinations to scale effectively. In this way, we can also discover missing features for which we can create solutions.
2.
Developing new processes
During growth, organically structured work phases need to be formalised to work effectively with multiple participants. New processes are created and integrated with existing systems. Solutions are often found step by step, through focused experimentation.
3.
Stabilising and maintaining an organisational culture
In a period of intense growth, many new employees and managers join the organisation, bringing new cultural elements with them. Maintaining the existing culture and integrating new elements is crucial. In slower growth this happens organically, but in dynamic growth this process needs to be managed consciously.
4.
Shaping organisational culture
As growth takes place, the organisational culture must also change. A young, dynamically growing organisation has different needs than a stable, larger company. In such cases, the culture is also adapted to the changed requirements.

WHAT CAN WE HELP YOU WITH?
In each case, it is important to consider where the organisation is now and what next steps are available. Many development processes fail because they set a vision and try to achieve it in one step, regardless of whether it is possible from the current state of the organisation. We believe that every step towards the goal brings benefits and success. And that it is more important to get there than to achieve it in one step.
Our methods:
We use a broad portfolio of methodologies to support our clients to safely reach their goals.
Results:
- Successes and beneficial changes at every step
- Achieving realistic goals
- Safe transformation

MANAGING ORGANISATIONAL LOSSES
Declining performance or engagement?
MANAGING ORGANISATIONAL LOSSES
Declining performance or engagement?
- Has an important leader or key person left?
- Has an important project failed?
- Has the company changed due to dynamic growth?
- Impact of a toxic leader or colleague?
- Accident to a colleague or several people?
- Perhaps someone has died in the company?
Such situations can be experienced as a loss by employees. It is important to process these experiences and deal with their effects, because successfully processed experiences deepen the sense of belonging and commitment. Losses that are hidden, on the other hand, undermine cooperation and commitment, which has a negative impact on performance and employer branding.

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT FOR AN EFFECTIVE ORGANISATION
KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT FOR AN EFFECTIVE ORGANISATION
WHY IS KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT IMPORTANT?
One of an organisation’s most important assets is its own knowledge. But managing it is often a challenge:
- How to transfer it to newcomers?
- How do we ensure that we are not at the mercy of a few key people?
- How to create internal supply and scale knowledge?

TOOLS AND METHODS
The most important tools for culture change are:
- Mapping the appearance of the organisational culture using Sensemaking tools
- Mapping intervention points with Estuarine Mapping
- Monitoring the process with Sensemaking tools and software
- Complementary processes:
- Workshops and trainings
- Mentoring and coaching
- Leadership by example
- Communication campaigns
- Transforming recognition and reward systems – using the Organisational Design toolkit
Culture change is a complex and time-consuming task that requires profound changes at all levels of the organisation. For its successful implementation, the commitment and active involvement of management is essential. For culture change in particular, it is true that any intervention can have unexpected side effects. Some of these may be harmful, some may be unexpectedly beneficial. It is important to always move the organisation to the next available state and manage the side effects that occur. Sensemaking and Estuarine Mapping support us in this. As well as the development levels of the Adizes model and their challenges to help us navigate through the process.

Helping organisational development in our changing world
OUR METHODOLOGY
Helping organisational development in our changing world
WHY DO YOU NEED US?
Today’s world can be described by the terms VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) and BANI (“brittle, anxious, non-linear, inconsistent”). These show that previously predictable areas are now complex, requiring a new approach.
As long as we approach these challenges in the usual way, we inevitably encounter difficulties and frustrations as we try to influence the system in ways that are different from what is adequate and functional.
To do this, we first need to recognise whether we still need to intervene within a well-ordered, predictable framework, or whether we have stepped out into the world of complex system dynamics, where we do not know exactly all the determinant components and relationships that would allow us to predict outcomes. So we can move forward with other methods in small, secure steps, through deliberate experimentation.

OUR METHODOLOGY
OUR METHODOLOGY
1.
System dynamics survey
We examine the degree of order or complexity in the functioning of the organisation or department. This will determine the appropriate development strategy. In the case of an organisation in crisis, we propose an immediate stabilisation of the system so that development can then proceed safely.
2.
Small, achievable steps
We move forward in small steps to detect and correct unpleasant side effects in time. We also support positive, unexpected effects.
3.
Activating organisational knowledge
The members of the organisation know their own functioning best. We help make this knowledge visible and put it to use.
4.
Tailored processes
In the first step, we assess the baseline and the goal, then together we design the interventions and monitor the results. In each case, we support the managers to identify and implement the right actions for their own departments.
5.
Continuous feedback and guidance
After each step, we evaluate the reactions, learn from them and adjust the process if necessary. We make suggestions for skills development or process improvements, involving competent partners.

1.
Cynefin
The Cynefin decision support framework is used to support management in determining the type of intervention that will best achieve their defined objectives. Here, we recommend different intervention strategies depending on the nature of the dynamics of the activity or system.
2.
Estuarine Mapping
Estuarine mapping is based on the analogy of an estuary in a delta. In a delta estuary, water flows upstream at high tide and downstream at low tide. Large granite boulders can be examined every 10 years, while small sandbanks can change several times a day. This back and forth fluctuation can also be observed in a changing organisation. This method allows us to map in great detail the defining points of an organisation’s culture and function, and to determine which ones are changing and how much energy is required to shape them. Knowing these, we can intervene with several small projects at once to support the organisation’s progress. This allows each to proceed safely in small steps, and to correct any of them in case of unexpected side effects. However, because of the parallelism, the transformation can still proceed quickly.

Sensemaking
Sensemaking is all about involving the members of the organisation, the employees, to share what they see about the state of the organisation, its processes, its daily life and to interpret it for us. These are then displayed on a common graph to reveal the main narratives and perceptions of the organisation. In this way, it is not the consultant who interprets what the members of the organisation are saying on the basis of interviews or other surveys, but the members of the organisation themselves who do this in a common system. This gives a clearer picture and filters out possible misunderstandings and distortions by external consultants. Our consultants will help you create the questions for the survey and support your leaders to make decisions about the direction they want to take the organisation, based on the patterns that become visible. So we can move forward in small steps, always taking the next best available step.
4.
A one-off culture survey
The tool can be used as a one-off tool to assess the culture or knowledge base of an organisation.
5.
Continuous data collection
It can also be used in a way that allows members of the organisation to document their observations and the meaning they attach to them at any time.
These can then be compared at different times and even broken down by organisational units. In this way, we can monitor how the mood and culture of the organisation evolves as a result of the interventions. We recommend this for larger organisational development projects.

ADIZES ORGANISATIONAL LIFE CYCLE MODEL
This model compares the stages of organisational development to the stages of individual development. For each, it identifies the key challenges and changes to be addressed, as well as the obstacles associated with each stage. This model helps to see the challenges as elements of an organic development and also provides a way forward in terms of the direction of the necessary changes.

ORGANISATIONAL DESIGN
The Organisational Design methodology approaches the organisation from 5 different aspects. People i.e. skills and attitudes, Rewards i.e. motivation, Processes i.e. information flow, Structure i.e. distribution of power and Strategy i.e. direction. Galbraith’s star model illustrates the interaction of these. Organisational Design helps us to understand how to support the organisation from these perspectives.

DEALING WITH ORGANISATIONAL LOSS OR TRAUMA
Sometimes an event happens in the life of an organisation that affects many. A major accident that may affect several people, the loss of an important client or project resulting in layoffs or downsizing, or the departure or death of a manager or a key colleague. These events can affect, or even upset staff both individually and collectively. If the effects of these events are not dealt with, there is often a demonstrable drop in performance. When processed, there is often a demonstrable and tangible improvement in motivation and an increase in commitment. The traumatic events that an organisation goes through together can weaken or strengthen it, depending on how we deal with them.
We support the processing of these using both Gestalt methods and a Solution Focused approach, as well as methods developed by our staff based on the grief and loss processing method, building on both Gestalt and a Solution Focused approach.

I recommend it to those who lack self-confidence, who cannot move on from some trauma or grievance. However, they are not waiting for a miracle but want to do something for themselves. They are receptive to outside opinions and suggestions.
What can I think of Rita in 5 words? Inspiration, motivation, networking, honesty, openness. And who do I recommend her to? Anyone who wants a new perspective in their thinking. For anyone who values an inspiring conversation. For anyone who wants to see themselves and the world in a positive light.
Rita, the ever-moving coach, whose professional and HUMAN support put me on the path to achieve my dreams. She is a very friendly, encouraging and extremely inspiring person. Her restless being always shakes you up. Working with her makes one forget their fears and focus only on the goal. She always makes you start believing in yourself and in the success of the task ahead. She has good insight, quickly assesses the needs of a team or individual. Both professionally and as a person, I would recommend her help with a brave heart to anyone who has plans,who wants to make a change, who may be stuck or who needs professional help and encouragement.
Rita’s excellent work has contributed greatly to the success of our small team. Since we started working together, I have come to know her as an extremely honest person who distinguished herself by her quick understanding and flexibility in dealing with unexpected situations. She consistently works to a high standard. I would like to say how positive it is to work with her, a very reliable and intelligent lady blessed with a good sense of humour.
Rita is an open, creative and very dynamic person. Her professionalism is of a high level. She guided my preparation with determination but with infinite patience. She managed to keep my interest throughout the good-humoured sessions and always managed to get me through the low points with ease.
Rita was a very helpful, open and optimistic lady. During the coaching sessions she does not tell me “what to do”, but with her questions and comments she makes me realize what I should think about and how I should change the part of my life that is not working well. Rita’s helpful feedback and guidance helps me build my confidence, and by completing and analysing the tasks during the sessions, I see myself and the world in a more positive light. The mood of our conversations ranges widely, from tears to laughter, her honesty, humour and confidence-inspiring presence has brought out a lot from me.
Rita maximálisan igazodott az igényeimhez. Mind a hosszú távú, mind pedig a rövidtávú céljaim elérésében tudott segíteni. Végtelenül empatikus és támogató.
From the first time I had high expectations from the coaching and they were fulfilled. My self-knowledge was further enriched and thus a relevant goal was set for the coaching. The new tool I have learned and mastered have greatly helped me to achieve my goal and thus become a better leader.
In Barbara, I met a professional, positive and at the same time empathetic coach with a wide range of tools and a good application of the right tool for the situation. Thanks to her executive background, she is quick to understand situations and to point out important details that I find less relevant. I have found the last three and a half months extremely enjoyable and useful, and would recommend her to others.
Barbara built the whole coaching process in a conscious and structured manner. She applied the right tools at the right time. She succeeded in building trust not only as a credible and skilled coach, but also as an experienced leader in a short time. We spoke a common language, so I could honestly rely on her person and the techniques she used. She managed to bring out and make me aware of things that I felt but did not understand; she effectively confronted me with my true self, its positive and negative sides. All in all, I can say that Barbara’s coaching has given me a lot and I know that the knowledge I have gained during my sessions will help me to achieve both my short term and long term life goals, which I can directly apply at Béres Pharmaceuticals Ltd. as well.
In Barbara I met a person I trusted. I was able to be honest about the problems I faced in management. The questions she asked encouraged me to find even more solutions to situations that were problematic for me. I constantly felt that she was listening attentively and that her goal was for me to improve.
Barbara was able to adapt the speed and direction of the coaching process to my needs in a way that was subtle and almost self-evident. She was able to work through current problems and stumbling blocks at a pace as if they were simple high school math problems. I still find it hard to believe that in just a few hours, someone has empowered me to resolve situations that I had previously struggled with for years without success. If there was a proper translation for ‘life-changing experience’, I would probably write it here.
We got a really effective training with results from Barbara. And for some colleagues she opened up new personal directions, which is much more than what we expected from a 2-day meeting.
The two days I spent in the training gave me the opportunity to take a break from my daily work and reflect on my strengths and what I can do to improve as a leader. It has given me a lot of ideas and I have also drawn a lot of inspiration from others. I wholeheartedly recommend it to all young leaders who want to renew themselves. Thank you for having me here!
The trainers highlighted the right issues and set me on the path towards a solution.
The atmosphere and the material was very good. The exercises were put together in such a way that the young managers from different areas opened up to each other very quickly and the training was conducted in a good atmosphere
I participated in an individual coaching process with Barbara during a year of complex organisational challenges. The sessions helped me to develop a toolkit and methodology that triggered a change in me, which helped me to build a team I am proud of and to find my voice and role in the large organisation.
I was very sceptical about coaching for a long time. Until I was faced with a challenge that needed support. Barus helped me to overcome my own limitations in a more effective and professional manner and to cope more easily. Every meeting was worthwhile, it gave me a lot to achieve a harmonious everyday life.
The Coaching Team – Conscious Leaders’ Academy training, in addition to useful tools that can be implemented immediately in everyday team leadership, helped me to develop a leadership approach both for myself and for my team members. I would particularly like to highlight the advantage of being able to easily develop my own leadership approach from the different perspectives and approaches of the topics and coaches who delivered the training, and then develop it independently with the help of the professional materials I received during the training.
Early in my management career, Barbara and her team supported me in my professional development. It was very helpful, as the significant increase in responsibility was a real challenge, but with Barbara’s help we found our way. I was given methods, not specifics. I think through the situation and develop a strategy, and I see a problem as an opportunity, not just a difficulty. I draw strength from my team, and I have a close working relationship with my colleagues, which requires trust and openness. This is what the Coaching Team has taught me, for which I am very grateful.
