As social beings, we own what we help create, and the primary vehicle for people to be creative is conversation. Designing conversations that create results begins with the realization that effective conversations are vital to creating meaningful change. This is the philosophy behind WildWorks' Results-Based ConversationsTM -- an approach that helps clients create and support collaborative work sessions.
Perhaps you've been in a meeting or served as part of a high performance team. Everyone participated -- not by innuendo or carefully couched phrases, but with real conviction and concern. In these conversations you never had to question whether the group had ownership for the task at hand or would want to be held accountable for the results. You could feel it in every interaction. You could hear it in every participants words and sense it in their commitment. These scenarios describe Results-based ConversationsTM.
Results-Based ConversationsTM is much more than trading words and ideas. It is conversation that produces real actionable results. Conversations that "just happen" typically do not yield extraordinary outcomes; they tend to get sidetracked into topics that have nothing to do with the task at hand, or get bogged down in emotion and past experiences. However, the WildWorks process of facilitating productive conversation puts the proven principles and tools of collaboration at your fingertips.
This approach has been developed through our work with hundreds of organizations, involving thousands of individuals, and has been successfully applied across a wide variety of industry groups and business issues.
Our methodology is based on six key principles. The first three -- Knowledge, Understanding, and Decision/Action - focus on execution. The other three -- Presence, Discovery, and Work to Win - focus on atttitude.
