”Waarom \u00e9chte betrokkenheid het verschil maakt”<\/h1>\n

For six years I have been guiding teams and organisations in change, always fascinated by the dynamics that make a top team unbeatable one minute and crashes the next. As in sport, I see how crucial it is in business to get people involved and keep them involved. From my role as advisor at Groupmapping, I help organisations to find answers to these issues. Feel free to send a message via LinkedIn!<\/p>\n

Involving people as a foundation<\/h2>\n

In mijn werk bij Groupmapping help ik organisaties om strategie, projecten en programma\u2019s tot een succes te brengen. De laatste tijd hoor ik \u00e9\u00e9n specifieke zin vaker dan ooit: “We moeten onze mensen hier wel \u00e9cht in meenemen.” Die uitspraak maakt me zowel hoopvol als alert.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hoopvol, omdat het laat zien dat we ons realiseren dat een project pas slaagt als de mensen die het werk doen erachter staan. Alert, omdat \u2018meenemen\u2019 in de praktijk nog te vaak een eufemisme is voor: “Achteraf vertellen wat de bedoeling is.”<\/p>\n

Sincerity as the key<\/h2>\n

In everyday highspeed train transport, there is a great temptation to see organizing moments with people as an administrative hurdle and a huge investment. It is easier to schedule a short meeting, tell what is going to change and put a tick behind the head 'carrier created'.<\/p>\n

But people are allergic to false involvement, and they pierce flawlessly through a lack of sincerity, and when you ask people to think along with you, while the course has long been fixed, you do not create support, but cynicism.<\/p>\n

Sincerity is the key word here. When you involve people because it 'must', it becomes a play. When you engage them because you sincerely believe that their expertise is needed to complete the puzzle, it is an investment that pays back twice and in reverse.<\/p>\n

Why engagement makes the solution better<\/h2>\n

Why is this sincerity a better result? There are three clear reasons for this:<\/p>\n
