“Everything in life is connected – the point is to know it and understand it”
PURPOSE-CONNECTED® PRACTICE
More than ever before, successful organisations will be those that are positioned to adapt and thrive in an increasingly ambiguous and changing environment. As organizational structures become more de-centralised, leaders will need to place more power and accountability in the hands of their employees.
Some of the biggest challenges that companies face today are not caused by the individuals, teams or departments, rather they lie in the connections between them – this has been amplified by COVID and remote working. By enabling these connections, employees become fully engaged and motivated to achieve the best possible outcomes.
We have developed an approach, called Purpose-Connected, which builds on the accelerated transformation we are seeing.
We believe that leaders must provide an environment where employees can:
clearly see how their own 'team purpose' contributes to the company's broader objectives;
connect with other teams in order to deliver on organisational goals by aligning around a collective purpose.
WHAT IS PURPOSE-CONNECTED™?
Purpose-Connected is a team coaching approach, which aims to co-create value for customers and stakeholders, in order to accelerate an organisation’s growth. Teams (Hubs) that align on a collective purpose are more likely to succeed.
With Purpose-Connected, the focus is on the leadership team as a collective entity. It is a facilitated way for teams, departments and organisations to identify a set of connectors and align around an agreed purpose.
Purpose-Connected is about creating a culture that enables a high degree of flexibility, employee engagement, decision-making with limited data, and agile innovation.
The Purpose-Connected Practice has robust roots in established management and coaching models, as well as incorporating current leadership theory, including Systemic Team Coaching®.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Purpose-Connected framework is based on core and growth enablers, which underpin purpose and connection, along with an understanding of:
What is our purpose?
How are we thinking, acting and caring about this purpose?
Who are the key stakeholders?
How are we connecting to make that purpose happen?
There are 3 phases to the Purpose-Connected Practice:
Environment Review: assessment of the drivers of change, review and analysis of enablers between teams (Hubs);
Purpose-Connected programme consists of: workshops, team coaching and 1-1 coaching – create and enhance the connectors between teams (Hubs) and align with the identified Hubs’ purpose;
Self-supporting framework: co-create to support continuous learning and adjustment.
By focusing on purpose and connectors, we develop a self-supporting framework that allows an organisation to thrive, adapt and innovate in the face of today’s challenges.

“Through the Purpose-Connected framework, teams are engaging better with each other, overcoming some of the challenges that were present before and highlighted during the review. Identifying a collective purpose between teams has significantly contributed to achieving their joint deliverables and led to an acceleration of growth. This approach to team coaching has ensured that we are better placed to deal with the outcome from the pandemic. ”
