7SIM Coach - a unique approach
Unique
The 7SIM™ Coach has a unique approach to providing services. When you engage a 7SIM Coach don't expect a typical consulting experience. The following table is intended to illustrate the difference between a traditional consulting approach and how a 7SIM Coach conducts himself or herself.
| Traditional Consulting Approach | The 7SIM Coach... |
| Move into organisations and establish a 'beach head' for ongoing consulting operations | Moves into organisations, raises its competency then withdraws as soon as improvement can happen without external assistance |
| Provide improvement solutions based on specialist expertise | Facilitates improvement solutions based on the inherent expertise within the organisation |
| Make recommendations that deliver immediate 'bottom line' results | Facilitates recommendations that deliver 'bottom line' results that can be sustained well into the future |
| Assume profound knowledge of industry | Assumes a profound knowledge of systematic improvement |
| Focus on strategy models and subsequent organisation structures | Focuses on end to end processes to deliver synergistic cross-functional improvement |
| Will work to improve an organisation's value regardless of its readiness for change | Will only work to improve an organisation whose senior leader is completely on-side with the improvement effort1 |
| Provide a creative external view | Provides a creative external view by influencing internal improvement teams |
| Solve problems | Vigorously pursues the root causes of problems then eliminates them |
| Give sage specialist advice | Establishes an environment for improved learning in the organisation |
| Leverage off "wisdom of external advice" | Leverages off "wisdom of external influence" |
The 7SIM Coach's approach is the only sustainable consulting model for an organisation whose desire is to develop an innovative edge for the future.
1 The research here is profound - without senior leader buy in, a change effort will not work, no matter how insightful or revolutionary it is. Organisations are wasting time and money if the senior leader is just 'going through the motions'.
