de Bono's Six Value Medals™
Introduction
You hear it all the time- what is our value proposition? What is our value added? What if you could count on employees to sort options using a commonly understood framework that would increase the value of the organisation at every turn - for customers, employees, stakeholders, the community, and more?
Workshop Overview
Too often, organisations cannot articulate the basis for their decisions. As a result, they may fail to notice and resolve conflicts in values that have a negative impact on:
- employees
- the organisation
- clients
- community relationships and more.
Until now there has not been a concrete way to assess the impact that a decision may have on our attempts to create and protect value. When employees can scan, identify and prioritise values, they become vital partners in growing your business.
Dr de Bono's Six Value Medals™ workshops look at these issues and provide practical step-by-step proven solutions, considering each of the 'Value Medals'.
- Gold Medal: Gold is precious, and so are people. The gold medal asks, what matters to the people? Human values include pride, achievement, a sense of belonging, hope, trust, and growth.
- Silver Medal: Silver impacts the organisation. What matters to the organisation? What are our goals as a company and how will a prospective action help us or hinder us in pursuit of these goals.
- Steel Medal: Steel must be as strong as possible. The steel medal asks what are the implications for quality? How will the decision at hand impact the quality of what we do?
- Glass Medal: Glass can take the shape of many functional, often beautiful and colorful objects. The glass medal covers change, innovation, simplicity and creativity.
- Wood Medal: Wood spotlights ecology values in the broadest sense. Is there a positive or negative impact to the environment if we take this road?
- Brass Medal: Brass looks like gold but is not. Brass medal values examine appearances and perception. How will this action be interpreted?
