3.	Organisational development models

Organisational Base Building™ The model outlines the five essential foundation stones that underpin the ability of organisations to move forward: credibility, trust, communication, consistency and resilience. Customer-defined Leadership™ (Leadership Branding) This Leadership Branding model is based on the principle that leaders must have the ability to build relationships and influence employee behaviour for the benefit of their customers. Using the model will help to develop the right collective leadership behaviours to drive and support the vitality of the brand.

Situational Shadow Coaching™ A real-time style of coaching that enables on-the-spot coaching and rapid feedback to take place on live situations, as and when they happen, during the course of a working day. It can be used as a stand-alone developmental tool or as an integral part of an approach to organisational development.

Organisational Collective Coaching™ A collective approach, this style of coaching makes this type of development tool available to those at more junior levels who may not normally get the opportunity for this type of interaction. It is designed to enable senior leaders to make coaching available as a collective, to either individuals or teams, at all levels within the organisation to encourage more effective team working and tackling unresolved issues.
