Creating Shared Understanding on Business-Book Concepts
Metaplan is excited to announce Team on Books, a new program that translates concepts from popular business books into a useful, real-world application to a team's current challenges.
"When an individual reads a business best seller, that person has his or her own idea of what it means to them. Team on Books helps working groups use these ideas to collectively tackle their challenges and take advantage of key opportunities," says Franz-Josef Tillmann, Managing Partner of Metaplan US.
"For example," he said, "if a leader has the team read Jim Collin's classic, Good to Great, each reader would have their own idea of what the hedgehog concept means to them. Team on Books creates a shared understanding of that concept, and how it applies specifically to their goals and their team."
These seminars acquaint participants with essential principles and give them a way to use the ideas as a group. As always with the Metaplan approach, consultants empower teams to jointly arrive at their own solutions. In addition, these bookinspired discussions provide a stimulus to move leadership teams to a higher level of thinking. New avenues of thought are opened and a common language is shared that help groups communicate better and arrive at new solutions.
Topics include:
Employee Engagement
Change Management
Market Leadership
Team Functionality
Lateral Leadership
Innovation
A creative way to engage teams at offsite meetings, this new program combines Metaplan's proven method of creating alignment among cross-functional teams with best-selling business books. Team on Books is a fun way to promote personal development for your group within the context of the organization.
