Creating Dissonance - the neuroscience of dissonance

Thursday 1pm - 4pm - Team and Division Synthesis process and questions - product


 * This process is called Value Chain Analysis

Commence this activity by relflecting on your team vignette. By the time you have completed this process your team should be prepared for the team sharing session at 2.00 pm. Each team will have 7 minutes of talking/presenting time and 3 minutes for your colleagues and clients to ask clarifying questions.**

**1. Activity Analysis:** Firstly identify the clients, those people who you believe should directly benefit for your services and activities. Then brainstorm or highlight in your vignette the activities TLS undertake that contribute towards your clients’ outcomes. At divisional level, this will include all the processes and activities by which TL&S delivers services to your clients. At a personal or team level, it could involve the step-by-step flow of work that you carry out. It will also involve other things as well. For example: Once you’ve brainstormed the activities which add value for TL&S, list them. A useful way of doing this is to lay them out as a simplified flow chart or table running down the page – this gives a good visual representation of your “value chain”. ( see below) Feel free to represent your ideas in any way your team chooses. Now, for each activity or service you’ve identified, list the “Value Factors” - the things that your clients value in the way that each activity or service is conducted. Next to each activity or service you’ve identified, write down these Value Factors. Next to these, write down what needs to be done or changed for your team to provide greater value for each value factor. ** By the time you've completed your Value Analysis, you’ll have generated ideas for increasing the value you deliver to clients. Pick out the quick, easy wins –prioritise some of these. Then screen the more difficult changes. Some may be impractical. Others will deliver only marginal improvements, but at great cost. Prioritise your remaining ideas.
 * How you recruit people with the skills to give the best service;
 * How you motivate yourself or your team to perform well;
 * How you keep up-to-date with the current research and good practice;
 * How you select and develop the services and or technologies that give your services the edge; and
 * How you get feedback from your clients on how you’re doing, and how you can improve further.
 * 2. Value Analysis: **
 * 3. Evaluate Changes and Plan for Action: **

Get ready to present your value chain to your colleagues. MY Values Chain

The team then adds vision about the work that needs to be continues and prioritised as TLS Division undergoes change and the questions or concerns the team has in relation to the Division [|Most Significant Change Guidelines] =Examples of vignettes=
