It's time to move to adult to adult relationships in organisations. Here's why, and how.

1. “How the canary got its voice”
BizHealthCheck.biz

2. When the world
industrialised, it got
very good at
managing and
optimising
resources: land,
money, raw
materials.
And people.

3. We began to
treat people
as another
resource to
be used.
Human
resources.

4. And we prioritised the
shareholder over all of the other
stakeholders in the business

5. Now we’re moving to a massively
connected, people economy.
Our techniques are less effective

6. In fact the ‘optimisation of humans’ in
the first world is causing
- massive mental health & quality of life
issues
- massive ineffectiveness
It’s unsustainable.

7. New business models and economies
are emerging (crowdsourcing, shared,
circular, freelance) and eating the
corporate organisation’s lunch

8. What’s invisible to the big companies?
They know about the threat of
change from new the models.
But they’re under-estimating
the speed of their maturity and
how fast the tipping point will
arrive.
They’re completely unprepared.
Many employees would leave if
they had a better option.
That better option is arriving.

9. Good news!
Most employees want to be part of
the solution (or would if they
thought the solution was ‘real’ not
BS)

10. What’s missing for the
corporation?
- Visibility of the health
of relationships
- Prioritisation of
relationships
- An approach / culture
that supports intra- and
inter-team relationships

11. What’s missing for
the people?
- Adult to adult
organisational design
- An adult voice
- Belief that a more
meaningful work life
is possible

12. What BizHealthCheck gives is:
- visibility of the relationships in the
business
- a voice for people
- tools to move from old power to
new power (fast enough to head off
the tipping point)

13. • As hierarchical power goes down over time
• Team and individual power and responsibility
goes up
BHC facilitates the beginning of the phased
process of maturity
