Come once or come often, stay for as long as the conversation interests you, share what's happening with you or just read what others have to say; you can choose how you want to take part.

At Easier Inc. we believe that transformational change happens:

• When people are able to see through the fog of complexity to focus on what really matters;
• When they work together to understand and remove friction between how things work and how that impacts what really matters;
• When they work in fellowship, recognising that ‘what really matters’ includes what really matters to each other.

Our free to access eBook sets out this perspective, sharing examples and proposing a method-of-methods approach to transformation in practice.

These 1/2 day, 1 day and 3 day workshops are aimed at teams and partnerships, providing an introduction to the concepts and approaches described in the eBook, and helping delegates to explore how they can make their work work better.

"Simple, clear purpose and principles give rise to complex and intelligent behaviour. Complex rules and regulations give rise to simple and stupid behaviour."

– Dee Hock, CEO Emeritus VISA International

In service organisations, complexity often exists on both sides of the service relationship:

• On the demand side; in the circumstances and requests of the customers/citizens/communities a service is for.
• On the supply side; in how a service is organised and managed to respond.

Despite this inherent complexity, it is always possible to identify clear points of leverage that help everyone to see through the fog and that draw focus onto what really matters.

Knowing how to uncover these points of leverage and how to design around them is the key to creating simple service designs that work.

These 1/2 day, 1 day and 3 day workshops are aimed at teams and partnerships, developing expertise in service design methods that make it easier to see through the fog, identify points of leverage and take practical action to make work work better.

If you want to create ways of working where responsibility, honest conversations, mutuality and support thrive then coaching is key.

BUT…

Effective coaching is not a role, it’s a relationship; not something that coaches do but something that happens between colleagues when they learn how to:

• Listen for what matters to each other.
• Make sense of what’s happening (or not happening) and why.
• Co-produce action strategies that enjoy real clarity and commitment.

So at Easier Inc, our vision of the effective workplace is not one filled with coaches and coachees but one filled with fellowship. These are places where relationships of mutual respect and support are thriving, and where each colleague has the understanding and skills they need to play their part.

Our 1/2 day, 1 day and 3 day EASIER Coaching workshops are aimed at coaching partnerships, helping colleagues to develop the mutual understandings and expertise that will enable them to make their work work better.

Delegates will learn how to:

• Build trust, responsibility, agency and intent.
• Surface blindspots and assumptions in ways that feel helpful.
• Identify and frame action in ways that ensure real clarity and commitment.

"Easier Inc. revolutionised the way we think about quality and performance, and how to make this work in self-managing teams."

- HELEN SANDERSON FRSA, FOUNDER, WELLBEING TEAMS

For decades performance management has been one of the most dysfunctional features of how organisations work.

Conceptualising performance as a score to be kept, the 'rating and review' approach of the past 50+ years has turned performance management into a game to be played.

At Easier Inc. we created Confirmation Practices as an antidote to all of this; a way to re-humanise performance management.

These 1/2 day, 1 day and 3 day workshops are aimed at teams and partnerships, developing their expertise in how to understand performance, have better conversations and take practical action to make work work better.

Delegates will learn:

• What Confirmation Practices are, how they work and why they avoid the problems of conventional performance management.
• How to set up and start using Confirmation Practices in their place of work.
