How the canary got its voice

“How the canary got its voice”

When the world industrialised, it got very good at managing and optimising resources:

land, money, raw materials.And people.

We began to treat people as

another resource to be

used.Human

resources.

And we prioritised the shareholder over all of the other

stakeholders in the business

Now we’re moving to a massively connected, people economy.

Our techniques are less effective

In fact the ‘optimisation of humans’ in the first world is causing

- massive mental health & quality of life issues

- massive ineffectiveness

It’s unsustainable.

New business models and economies are emerging (crowdsourcing, shared,

circular, freelance) and eating the corporate organisation’s lunch

What’s invisible to the big companies?

They know about the threat of change from new the models.

But they’re under-estimating the speed of their maturity and how fast the tipping point will arrive.

They’re completely unprepared.

Many employees would leave if they had a better option.

That better option is arriving.

Good news!Most employees want to be part of the solution (or would if they thought the solution was ‘real’ not BS)

What’s missing for the corporation?

- Visibility of the health of relationships - Prioritisation of

relationships- An approach / culture that supports intra- and inter-team relationships

What’s missing for the people?

- Adult to adult organisational design- An adult voice

- Belief that a more meaningful work life is possible

What BizHealthCheck gives is:- visibility of the relationships in the business

- a voice for people - tools to move from old power to new power (fast enough to head off the

tipping point)

goes up
