Typically when we first visit an organisation  we work with the organisation to identify the areas where the organisation believes they have an issue. In some organisations the issues lie with just one of the Ps, whereas in others the issues exist across all three Ps. The level of maturity or sophistication may vary cross the three Ps, so we are careful not to jump to conclusions.

There are instances where we find organisations in crisis. The organisation may be slow, bureaucratic and/or inefficient. Leadership is absent and there is a culture of mis-trust. There is a lack of consistency in the tools or language they use, there are no common decision-making processes or alignment, and/or decisions are made but not implemented or they are implemented poorly. Such organisations often face stiff competition in a dynamic industry and have no idea what to do next. They have sub-standard outcomes. Conflict and friction simmer just below the surface and sometimes boil over. Everyone is unhappy – sub-cultures fester and the people and organisation suffer.

When we start training these organisations in the P4RM™method, we see an improvement almost immediately. The REKONP4RM™ helps people to build leadership capability, based on trust and a culture of excellence. The DECIDE™ decision-making process immediately creates a common language for making better quality decisions faster. The DIRECT™ tool ensures that tasks are communicated effectively and efficiently. The REKONP4RM™ starts to gain traction and results in increased efficiency. At REKON Group we are very proud when we see our clients using our tools to outperform their competition and generate their own momentum.
