BBM Dia­gnostic

We start the EAST pro­cess by explor­ing your chal­lenge with you, to find out what the issues are, what you want to achieve, and by when. We then design the BBM dia­gnostic pro­cess to suit you and your goals.

If you’re new to BBM you might want to do some of your own explor­ing at this stage:

You can

• learn about BBM
• look into our con­sultancy approach
• go on our intro­duct­ory train­ing pro­gramme, BBM Found­a­tion
• read “Bar­rier Break­ers: Be Your­self Brilliantly!”

At the Assess stage we drill down into the spe­cif­ics of your chal­lenge, using vari­ous tech­niques to col­lect data from every­one involved.

BBM provides a uni­fied frame­work, based on 5 lenses, that makes it easy to relate data even when it’s gathered in dif­fer­ent ways (such as ques­tion­naires, work­shops, inter­views, and obser­va­tion) and from diverse sources. This means you get a clear pic­ture of where bar­ri­ers are loc­ated in your organ­isa­tion, and what impact they’re having.

Once the inform­a­tion is ana­lysed we can pro­duce a tailor-made action plan for you.

This is where the action happens!

Every action plan is tailored to the spe­cific cir­cum­stances, but here are some key components:

BBM Found­a­tion: the BBM intro­duct­ory pro­gramme. It’s information-packed and thought-provoking, as well as non-confrontational and lively…a stim­u­lat­ing start­ing point for every­one you want involved. This also works well as a stand-alone team build­ing session.

BBM Applied: four pro­grammes that dig deeper into the cru­cial areas of Com­mu­nic­a­tion, Lead­er­ship, Cre­ativ­ity, and Change. You choose the one most rel­ev­ant to your chal­lenge; your team can go on an open pro­gramme, or we can run a ses­sion tailored to your needs.

Bespoke training:If you need a spe­cific soft skills issue to be addressed we’ll tailor the BBM pro­gramme accordingly.

Trainer train­ing for your in-house train­ers. With your in-trainers licensed to run Bar­rier Break­ers pro­grammes you’ll have on-going soft skills devel­op­ment embed­ded through­out your organisation.

Your train­ers can also become Bar­rier Break­ers Asso­ci­ate Train­ers, which means we assess their train­ing activ­it­ies for soft skills con­tent, and they can pro­duce BBM data as evid­ence of devel­op­ment. So their train­ing becomes a soft skills devel­op­ment oppor­tun­ity – your par­ti­cipants get double the bene­fit and you get double the return.

Exec­ut­ive Coach­ing: Our coach­ing pro­grammes are built around the BBM frame­work, so they fit seam­lessly with other parts of any action plan.

Dur­ing this final stage we col­late the BBM data that’s been gathered.

Then we eval­u­ate res­ults and pro­duce reports, make present­a­tions, offer recom­mend­a­tions, devise and execute soft skills strategies, and plan the review progress.

If bar­ri­ers are block­ing your pro­gress, get in touch and let us put BBM to work for you.
