Corporate
Program Initiative
Over the past two decades, the term "Corporate Program" has taken on so many variations in perception and interpretation that, like the word "significant," it leaves a definition with much to be desired.
Corporate programs tend to default into several informal categories.
There are those that are designed by large consulting firms promising to reinvent an organization's complete approach to business, customers and employees.
There are those that propose to rescue one or two ailing elements within a corporate mainframe.
Some programs appear only designed to provide first aid in emergency situations.
The variety of approaches to corporate programs has a broad range.
If there is any common thread, it lies as much in what seems to be missing as in what is present. Consequently, any entity called a corporate program is likely to be a gathering of short term fragments, picked from a hanging vine, rather than the fertilized soil that creates a foundation for the tree.
What appears to be missing is a fundamental picture of basic considerations that would allow the variety of programs to be seen and understood for their relevance to a whole picture rather than as scattered elements with no clear relationship to each other.
KeyGolf
plays a selective role in corporate programs.
| Rather than
attempting to be all things to all companies, we help our
clients focus on the fertile basic elements that keep
organizations healthy so they can manage the missions and
do the work they have elected to do. The basic nature of
our contribution to a corporate family or team grows an
environment loaded by insight and skills that are
transferable into all other domains. Simply put, that
means providing resources that foster systems evaluation
and design, human resource development, problem solving
management strategies, and leadership development. Because these elements are also fundamental to the development of an individual's golf game, the bridging of purpose in behalf of both work and play allow the learning designs to be specifically synergistic, not to mention a great deal of fun, as those who participate in our corporate programs experience the value of their games helping their work and the work they do assisting their games. Little imagination is required to see that programs designed with a double mission lose the traditional boredom of "management training," with an itch that daydreams about the game after the session, and gains the motivation and attention of participants to the maximum they bring with them for the full session. It is not necessary to divide the mission into two parts: work and play. They are integrated in any corporate design we create, and what is designed and implemented always moves toward the special needs of each organization. |
KeyGolf's "facesheet" refers to golf and a concern for helping people develop their golf games, but the underlying mission is immersed in the added benefits that accrue to the speciality of corporate ventures and the needs of organizations, not to mention the daily business of self-management for the full range of life tasks.
