AnyBodyCan - Enterprise Development Models.

THE “INSIDE - OUT” MODEL OF ORGANISATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The innovative AnyBodyCan “inside – out” model of organisational development emerged during the AnyBodyCan ‘pilot’ hosted by The Newcastle Healthy City Project during 2000/1.

The model incorporates some of the theoretical ideas of:

• Edith Penrose in her book ‘Growth of the Firm’, 1959

• Charles Handy in his book ‘The Empty Raincoat’, 1994

• Graham Lee in his book ‘Leadership Coaching’ 2003

• Nigel Sykes of Warwick Business School at the University of Warwick in his 1999 paper 'Is the Organisation Encoded with a DNA’

The model’s processes are designed to be neither top-down nor bottom-up (both of which are hierarchical) but ‘inside-out’, making use of the existing strengths of the people who wish to develop the organisation.  They are not designed to be prescriptive but may be helpful in encouraging people and organisations to recognize where they are on the change continuum and so be better able to anticipate and deal with conditions of change. 

AnyBodyCan ‘Be Enterprising’ [Coaching and Facilitation]

‘Be Enterprising’ coaching places value on the principles of Personal Vision, Personal Leadership and Personal Management while encouraging people and organisations to accept the inevitability of change and to see it as a positive learning experience.  The process of metamorphosis is often uncomfortable but is necessary in order to achieve growth and long term success that is:

• Economically viable

• Socially inclusive

• Environmentally sustainable

A coaching and facilitation programme can inspire directors, managers and staff to mobilise themselves and others to higher levels of effectiveness and satisfaction.  The ‘Be Enterprising’ programme has three levels:

1.       Pre-Employability Coaching - [Self Discovery]

Pre-Employability Coaching provides a seamless progression route to enable disabled and otherwise disadvantaged people to engage with established training and development programmes. The programme offers the opportunity of overcoming social and economic exclusion by becoming employed, self employed or by gaining positions of responsibility within the voluntary and community sectors.  The coaching model was developed during 2002 with the assistance of a “Global Grant” from the Tyne & Wear Learning & Skills Council and it was refined and further developed in Sunderland, within the pre-employability activities component of the TyneWear Partnerships EQUAL programme.  The programme assists candidates to discover and identify their own inherent skills and abilities, build confidence and motivation, and investigate future goals and how to achieve them.  Participation in the programme is anticipated to lead to candidates having a more realistic view of themselves as individuals; able to express their needs and wants in a positive way, and to be able to identify a suitable positive output for themselves.

2.       Enterprise Coaching Programme - [Skills Development]

3.       Leadership Coaching Programme - [Awareness & Insight]

The AnyBodyCan Enterprise Circle [Hosting and incubation]

The AnyBodyCan enterprise circle was established to create employment opportunities for disabled and otherwise disadvantaged people, and is a cluster of ‘market oriented’ social and community enterprises.  Each management team within the enterprise circle has a flat, non-hierarchical design in which employees are highly empowered and involved and where information is fluid and continuous and where improvement is emphasised throughout.  Success within each team requires a firm foundation of integrity, a shared vision and a leadership style that: -

• Recognises the need for different roles and talents

• Changes to reflect new circumstances

•  Develops an “encouragement culture”

• Shares objectives and information
