Owned by Monarch Media, Inc., GroupMind is a cloud-based suite of collective intelligence tools used by consultants, facilitators, and leaders to collectively gather input, evaluate it, and take aligned action. *STRATEGIC PLANNING* The issue - - - You want to get the best input, but you are afraid that adding input will slow down and confuse the process. The solution - - - Use GMind process tools to structure your interaction. By using process flows and digitizing traditional in-person flip-chart-based facilitation, you allow time for iteration and eliminate scribing. The questions - - - How much would the quality of your planning and decision-making improve if you had time to question your first attempts and iterate? How would the quality of your input change if the loudest voice wasn't the only voice? *CHANGE MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING* The issue - - - Change is planned by the few and not tested before being fully implemented. The solution - - - Use GMind Crowd Accelerated Individualized Learning (CAIL) to educate staff on potential changes and check for alignment in understanding BEFORE investing time and money in implementation. The questions - - - How much time, effort, and money could you save if you only implemented after you knew you had alignment on the strategy and approach? *PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT* The issue - - - Organization mission, vision, and values are meaningless because no one knows what they look like in action, and there is no way to gauge whether staff are acting in accordance with the values. The solution - - - Use GMind 360-degree assessments to define the behaviors that demonstrate the values so that they are ALIVE, understood, and reinforced. The questions - - - Do you know what it would look like to live your organization's values? How do you know which leaders are perceived as modeling those values?
