Bringing POC™ to your Organization

By investing in the growth and development of your internal resources you not only increase your organization's capability and productivity but also reduce the need for external resources.

1. You can sponsor an internal community which is the ideal way to build a critical mass of skilled practitioners on your “home team”.
2. You can partner with other local organizations to sponsor a learning group as part of a multi-organizational community
3. You can join a Public POC™ which includes participants from several organizations. Converge is offering a new Public community January 2007.

Evaluating the Return on Your Investment

In a time where most organizations are balancing limited resources with a need for increased focus on skill building, Converge Consulting Group has designed advanced metrics to measure the impact of POC™ at both the individual and organizational level to measure your return on investment.

Participants rate their Competencies before and then after the Practitioner of Change™ process. The results are provided confidentially to each participant and are also summarized at a group level for the sponsors to show the overall shift in knowledge and skill development before and after the POC™ investment.

In addition, participants evaluate each workshop session to provide on-going feedback that is integrated throughout their learning process as well as post graduation. The consolidated summary reports are posted in the POC™ on-line community for both sponsors and participants to access. Converge is committed to providing comprehensive feedback to both the individual participants and sponsor organizations. Our custom designed metrics show the impact and the value of POC™ in real data.

Why Should an Organization Sponsor POC™?

• External environments continue to demand a strategic focus and the ability to accelerate organization response and flexibility…more than ever.
• Organizations are “systems” Sand require an integrated response to develop.
• We know we need people behind strategies…people implement decisions, not organizations.
• Organizational complexity is generating even more conflict than what has always existed.
• Leadership mindset is causative – organizations change when leaders change.
• In order to change, learning must happen individually and organizationally.

Who Should Attend POC™?

The POC™ program is designed for employees who work closely with clients and who are looked on to provide strategic direction and support to their respective businesses. It will also appeal to those who are aspiring to these roles. Additionally, part or the entire process may be applicable to employees in related roles such as employee Human Resources, Communications, and Organization Development.
