Unleash the passion, power and potential of your people toward meaningful achievement and sustainable growth. Develop creative, change and project leadership. ALCEMIS moves you to think and act differently for growth. We help you play with purpose and unleash creativity and action toward delivering solutions that add value for your customers or clients, your organization and your stakeholders.
Leadership and Organizational Consulting
Leaders exist at all levels in an organization; positional leadership does not = a leader. Leadership is about unleashing the passion, potential and power of people toward meaningful achievement. Leadership begins within. Leadership asks us to be present, mindful and deliberate. It asks us to reflect on our choices and act in alignment with who we are. Personal leadership is the state of being we enter into when we act in alignment with who we are. Servant leadership is focused on those we lead, those we serve. To lead authentically, we must have both personal and servant leadership. Servant leadership for sustainable growth asks us to develop creative, change and project leadership.
Creative leaders encourage, support and create the climate, conditions and opportunities for others to express their own creative leadership and deliver valuable solutions to complex problems. Change leaders take a systems-level perspective to lead and respond to changes. They incorporate strategy and insights into how their organization shifts in thinking and acting. Effectively delivering valuable solutions, both for customers and internally for your organization, requires effective project leadership.
Sustainable growth is ongoing, continuously adaptive and responsive to the needs of people, the planet and profitability. Sustainable growth requires thinking and acting differently to develop new and innovative solutions to the ever-changing needs of your market and world economic conditions.
ALCEMIS helps you lead to deliver sustainable growth.
Audits, Recommendations, Solution Design and Delivery
Designing and delivering valuable solutions asks that we start with what matters and to whom it matters. We gather information and develop insights to know what matters and to whom. Then, we use this knowledge to design and deliver valuable solutions for your organizational challenges.
Innovation Process Design and Skill Development
Innovative organizations utilize skills, processes and tools that help them identify opportunities as well as generate, develop and implement solutions that deliver value. We work with you to develop innovation skills, processes and tools that help you achieve your vision of success. A good base to draw from and modify to your organization’s needs is The IDEACT™ Process or the Explore-Create-Act Process from Innovate Like an Artist™. Additionally, we use the Creatrix® to help individuals and teams understand their creativity and risk-taking style and behavioral drivers, which are important for creative leadership and innovation.
Leading Change
When leading change, it is important to tailor plans and actions to different stakeholder groups to address specific needs. We use stakeholder analysis to help you develop plans to engage champions and blockers in the change process for positive outcomes. The stakeholder analysis also helps in developing an integrated change plan that includes communication, training, measurement and recognition.
Communication – across, up, and down – often and in multiple ways, is an essential element of changing behavior and mindsets. Ongoing communication is needed to share information, continually gather new information for insight, engage in dialogue, resolve conflict and get things done. When leaders combine trust with effective communication, they enhance collaboration where people work together toward a shared goal. An effective communication strategy builds off of a stakeholder analysis, is tied to business needs, provides clear and consistent messages, delivers messaging often and in several ways and engages stakeholders to act.
Experiential Learning Design and Delivery
Change and learning and intricately intertwined. Effective learning incorporates experience, multiple learning styles and play. We have experience in developing, managing and leading experiential learning events for individuals, small groups and large groups of 100+ to over 1,000. Programs like the Alchemical Leader™ and Innovate Like an Artist™ can be customized to a format that works for you and your organization.
Follow-Up and Coaching
After-action review is essential to learn from successes and “failures” and to make adaptations for future action. We facilitate follow-up sessions to help you and your teams share and learn from successes and “failures”. We seek to identify learning integration and behavioral shifts. In addition, we work with you to identify areas for adaptation or change, so that you build the learning into how you do business going forward.
