ORCA FACILITATION™
Ralph and Denis developed a unique approach based on traditional often disconnected methods used in Systems Thinking and Organizational Design including such well-known concepts as:
Their innovation led to the creation of ORCA Canvases, comprehensive tools designed specifically for Organizational Systems Thinking. The authors believe that the true power of the ORCA Canvases unfolds when they are used alongside the skillful application of system diagraming techniques (e.g. CLD). This combination, reinforced by Systems Thinking, Organizational Design pronciples, Goal-Centric Organizational Design approach, and effective facilitation techniques, is what is called ORCA Facilitation™.
ORCA Facilitation™ is a system of knowledge, collaborative tools, and techniques for designing organizations that are tailored to the context and enabling the maximization of business performance.
Insightful Analysis: Gain a clear understanding of factors within your control that influence organizational culture and outcomes.
Strategic Changes: Identify actionable changes to drive the desired shifts in culture and business results.
Impact Modeling: Assess the potential effects and unintended consequences of proposed changes on organizational dynamics.
Immediate Benefits: Start experiencing the advantages of ORCA Facilitation without the prerequisite of mastering Systems Thinking and Causal Loop Diagrams (CLD).
Enhanced Reasoning: Strengthen your argumentation for organizational changes with clear visualizations of their impacts on the aspects of primary interests for your opponents - e.g. business outcomes.
Root-Cause Identification: Unearth the underlying causes of disagreements to focus efforts on the most impactful areas.
Common Ground Discovery: Find areas of agreement with adversaries to explore alternative strategies for promoting change.
Workshop Facilitation: Conduct effective and efficient workshops on Root-Cause-Analysis and What-If-Modelling involving decision-makers and using provided tailor-made tools.
Decision-Maker Engagement: Clearly illustrate how proposed changes will affect crucial organizational outcomes to guide decision-making.
Conflict Resolution: Identify areas of disagreement among participants and explore their hidden drivers (e.g. beliefs and assumptions) to formulate actionable plans for resolution.
Adaptive Tools: Select the most suitable facilitation tool based on participant skill levels, learning willingness, and time constraints, with the flexibility to advance to more sophisticated tools as needed.
