In times of full employment and increasingly complex work contexts
further capability development in the economy will depend on facilitating the new kinds of
activity that are increasingly required for adaptation, complex problem solving and managing rapidly changing contexts. The new networked society is complex, interconnected and continually changing. In a changing context, everyone needs to participate so they know what is happening and can contribute to the evolving activity.
For this, the old heritage 'top down' managment
strategies are often counter productive. They evolved to maintain stability in stand-alone organizations
Eviva takes a collaborative approach to working with our clients. We aim to catalyse change and to foster leadership. This means:
- We share our expertise to build independent capabilities
- We work with people to build relationships, strategies and techniques
- We help design work conditions that are fit for purpose
- We facilitate independent and creative team work
- When we leave people can use the knowledge to solve new problems, make new relationships and ongoing change
- People who can be pro-active and work well in teams can evolve and addapt when the situation changes
-
For example, Eviva has an association with the Zen
at Work Group because:
- Our research and development expertise supports their work in
maximizing productivity and flexibility through carefully designing work
contexts and conditions to facilitate expert knowledge work.
- We like to work in a collaborative environment and to share our
skills in team work and effective collaboration with others through
projects with joint clients.
