Genuine Contact™ program

Success in achieving and sustaining organizational health and balance through the Genuine Contact program is dependent on building the capacity of individuals and organizations to navigate with change. This requires a healthy, balanced foundation for the organization to work from as an "operating system". It is an accurate metaphor to say that Genuine Contact provides an operating system for a living organization. It provides patterns of simple, elegant processes that can handle, and benefit from, all the complexity within and outside the organization (conflict included). Genuine Contact process doesn't dictate a particular organizational culture - each organization has its own unique culture, based on its purpose and its people - but the patterns it provides work to invite the gifts of all the people involved fully and effectively into engagement.

Through this program, we equip you with simple and practical " how to" methods, processes, and key ingredients of achieving organizational health and balance that are duplicable throughout the organization. The Genuine Contact program achieves amazing results in working with what Stephen Covey calls the new “Whole Person Paradigm” that is required for organizations with knowledge and service workers to succeed.

Purpose of the Genuine Contact program

Through its holistic approach to organizational success, the purpose of the Genuine Contact program is to provide an effective and quick means to access the issues that need to be addressed in your organization, and the solutions that need to be implemented. A participatory architecture is created to foster a solution-focused base for your organization, achieving results that surpass expectations. It provides a nourishing environment in which the human spirit can flourish creatively and fulfill its potential. Solutions come from the collective genius and passion of the organization's existing human resources, generating the energy to implement them in the process.

The Genuine Contact program was designed with simplicity in mind, using meetings as a catalyst to develop healthy and balanced organizations for successful, sustainable optimum effectiveness. Meeting methodologies were chosen that tap into the intellectual and intuitive wisdom of the individuals involved, and of the whole collective. Key ingredients were identified that needed to be in place to support the new or enhanced way of getting work done. The resulting healthy and balanced organization is life nurturing, working as an interconnected learning organization. The process is organic, so every organization brings about its own unique change from within, simultaneously enhancing skills, capacity and competency for working with change in our rapidly changing times.

The Genuine Contact program is also a program for building the skill and capacity within the organization to address change. It is designed to keep external consultant involvement to a minimum, providing training and mentoring work only so that working with change is led from within the organization.
