What We Do

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide unique and proven transformational services to medium to large organisations that want to improve their business outcomes. OneBeat enables better bottom line performance by turning staff and stakeholders into strategic assets. OneBeat achieves this through the Appreciative Inquiry process, a proven international system highly effective in transformational change.

OneBeat provides an ongoing service that typically starts with Appreciative Inquiry incubator workshops where staff are motivated, involved and contributory.

This is the launch pad for action, improving performance and transformational change. We ensure momentum is maintained and that the change is well implemented. OneBeat produces management metrics to show before-and-after measurements as staff progress voluntarily from their current state to a future state where they become active advocates and participants in helping deliver organisational goals. OneBeat can also provide continuing involvement to manage essential refresher sessions with existing staff and to bring new staff on board as they arrive.
 

Why does it work?

OneBeat bases its service on a unique combination of five transformational factors that are always, repeat always, successful in energising staff -
 

1.  Inclusiveness	Managers give full licence to staff to contribute to and create the vision. This way everyone has a voice. This way everyone owns the vision.
2.  Clarity	Sharing a clear purpose and reason for being. Clearly defining the ultimate goal, getting clarity on how this will be achieved, showing how everyone has a role in the goal.
3.  Strengths	Basing all thinking and contribution on individual and organisational strengths. Not just fixing things, but building on strengths that exist.
4.  Energy	Passion is everything. OneBeat interface with staff is contagious, inspiring and motivational. Its success lies in providing staff not only with the vision but with the will to achieve it.
5.  Engagement	Everyone has a role, everyone has a voice. Universal engagement builds commitment that leads to achievement.

 

OneBeat in Action

   

What's different about our approach?

Many things are different about OneBeat. Our people, our commercial experience, our passion for what we do, our single-minded focus on client goals. From a staff and client management perspective, one major difference with OneBeat is we take a strengths-based approach through Appreciative Inquiry. Simply put, this focuses on what the client organisation is doing right and then builds on these strengths to energise and engage staff, to form them into cohesive teams that focus on the future instead of rehashing problems from the past.

What is singularly powerful about this different approach is that it aligns the future of individual staff with the future of the company and thus gains staff support in achieving organisational goals.

OneBeat first discovers the strengths of the "whole system". OneBeat starts with an incubator workshop approach that’s fast, powerful and effective. This can involve management and staff, suppliers, customers and other key stakeholders. It releases ideas from right across the organisation and its stakeholders and builds involvement, ownership and commitment throughout the business streams.

With our clients we work through a simple process to achieve the outcome of better bottom line performance.
