Core Of Development

Core of Development represents a highly efficient and powerful concept for leading people in a new and modern way. It is based on a solid strategy process that is focused on implementation in all teams, while at the same time creating a culture characterised by cooperation, proactivity and responsibility. Core Of Development offers an alternative that is pragmatic, concrete and business driven. The core is that leadership is the backbone of all operational and development oriented work. Leadership built on dictating orders or challenging with higher objectives offers an after due-date solution. People need to understand the gaps and to create ideas to close them. They need to be involved to find the solutions impacting their own business environment. A new leadership has to secure a practical, structured and inclusive way of working, where predefined solutions are replaced by important questions to be answered. Together with a strategy and well thought out process to implement it, it is obvious that the culture will be shaped according to the pedagogy the leadership and strategy process stand for. A strategy is, by definition, proactive and normally aims at stimulating co-workers to handle their future responsibilities in a new way. The better acceptance and solutions the co-workers can get, the faster the desired change will happen. The most powerful way to secure that, is by involving co-workers in the actual decision-making process, instead of pushing the execution of what the management want. The COD concept is an easy-to-use and efficient leadership mind-set built on three structured tools or processes; one for meetings, one for individual conversations, and one for an infrastructure securing decisions to be implemented. This requires leadership training, where these work processes are trained in context of the real business challenges.
