Thriving On Change

There are many different theories and models of change. Some models take a proactive approach to change. Some take a more reactive approach. Some work best when change is unexpected or out of the control of the individuals involved. Some are designed specifically to initiate positive growth in individuals or organizations. The Kyosei approach to change offers the flexibility to deal with all of these alternatives.

The core principles of the Kyosei approach to change that provide this versatility are:

  The belief that every change situation has the potential to be a positive growth opportunity for both individuals and the organization;

  A commitment to fostering shared leadership for the change by building a sense of responsibility and control at all levels of the organization;

  A commitment to developing a mindset that fosters the common good by increasing the capacity, creativity and commitment necessary to identify win/win solutions and strategies;

  A holistic approach that addresses and aligns business and personal needs and objectives in the change process; and

  A recognition that positive and lasting transformation results only from each individual developing the confidence, courage, capacity, and commitment to be a model of the change they want to see in their team and the organization.

Our Approach:

Based on 18 years of research and practical experience in strengthening leadership, employee engagement, workplace health and human potential both inside and outside the workplace, the Kyosei Thrive Model™ provides a simple yet comprehensive system leaders will be able to use throughout the change process to:

  Create proactive strategies for leading change and achieving business outcomes;
  Better manage stress for themselves during the process;
  Support their employees to better understand their needs and develop strategies to address those needs throughout the change process in a proactive way; and
  Understand how the needs of people and the organization will shift throughout the change process and create strategies to address multiple needs simultaneously;

Additional Benefits:

In addition to supporting the change process, working with the Kyosei Thrive model will provide managers with skills and knowledge that will continue to support them in their leadership role in a variety of other ways. It will:

  Offer a proactive tool for enhancing employee performance and career development by supporting staff to align their strengths, talents and values with their work.

  Provide an understanding of how to enhance the energy, creativity and commitment of their team to contribute to greater productivity and effectiveness in achieving business objectives.

  Provide a common language and framework to unite all existing and future initiatives under a common framework (creates continuity and demonstrates to managers how all of their training fits together and serves a particular purpose).

  Increase understanding of the factors that interfere with energy, health, engagement and peak performance at work.

  Provide a framework to constantly assess, prioritize and address the changing needs of people and the organization as business objectives are achieved and/or shifted.
