Rob   |78.146.165.xxx |2008-07-22 17:56:27 I'm looking forward to hearing about how companies can practically take on this thinking which does makes sense. The question is how can they be shown the advantage of such an approach especially if they are "resistant" to new ideas... Reply | Quote 1   0

Robert Ballentine  - Strengths in Business     |90.201.252.xxx |2008-07-28 15:36:28 Hi Rob, Great to have you here We have had great feedback and a lot of interest from business people from all walks. We are constantly hearing that businesses need this thinking because strengths are not played to at all, least of all even truly realised. You pose a good question. "How can a business be shown the advantage especially if they are resistant to new ideas". We demonstrate that though the thinking is a shift in paradigm, perception and thought the realisation of what we do is not a ‘new’ idea, management technique or best practice, rather a way of thinking. That is, the ability to demonstrate that the skills, strengths and resources are already in-house, it is therefore a question of interception and then utilisation. In a way it’s like getting a look at behind the scenes of an illusionists act. We see the illusion but do not know how it works. In business we see the results; (the illusion) but do not know how they are produced. We therefore invest in other methods (illusions) in an attempt to repeat the same illusion rather than attempting to understand how the illusion works in the first place. So rather than attempting to reproduce the results by applying band aid solutions or other untried concepts (we mean untried within your own specific business field), use what is already producing results, albeit randomly, and understand HOW they are, and DO produce the results. This is where Strengths of the Business come into play. By intercepting the skills, steps, strategies and processes of star performers/teams and or the business itself we intercept these, that is, we make them known and then look for repeatable patterns. Once found the steps, strategies skills etc can then be used as either a baseline training for the teams or recruitment criteria. Put it this way, we have all heard of rapport and its value in building relationships, if you don’t know how to build rapport then it becomes a random event until it happens. However if you know that rapport is built through body matching and mirroring, this means that it can be applied by will. That is it can be used consistently to get the same result time after time. It is therefore now an act of will and not chance event. The same applies to business strengths. When known they can be applied consistently to produce the same results again and again. What we look for are patterns of consistency and effect. So like rapport, that at one level, already happens as part of your natural behaviour, on another level when you are consciously drawn to HOW rapport works, it becomes a shift in paradigm. It is not a new concept or idea to you because you already do it, know that you do it and know that when you have it you get results. Therefore what we do is re-direct your attention to the business that gets results, we show you HOW those results are achieved and the steps, strategies skills and behaviours that produce them. This means results become predictable, business becomes predictable, your market becomes predictable. Success is predictable and repeatable. I hope this clarifies a bit more about the thinking behind Strength Based Business and our methodology. Please if you have any other questions do post them here so that we can answer them on the call. Let us know your thoughts and look forward to speaking to you on the teleseminar.
