“Preparation, Structure and Delivery Tips/Techniques” Michael Burke
Preparation – Tips / Techniques • Mindmap every session prior • Business Excellence Program • Provides a broad structure to follow. Why is this beneficial in delivering a great one-to-one session or a larger workshop? • Meet or Call with decision maker prior. Why? • Draw your own Now, Where, How prompts to provide a path through the meeting • Review Mindshop videos, do a practice tool
Structure – Tips / Techniques EAS Structure
Structure – Tips / Techniques Common mistakes I see being made that lead to poor outcomes: • No summary after key points being made. Why is this important? • No introduction to provide a road map for what will be learnt today • Cramming too much in one day
Exercise • Prepare an EAS structure for your next coaching session with your Number 1 client. Discuss for 5 minutes with the person next to you
Delivery – Tips and Techniques What’s been your experience with this issue? Why would that be the case do you think? What do others think in the room? Ask leading “open ended” questions to generate discussion e.g. Ensure in group sessions you tell them time period and expectations. Generate key discussion afterwards Don’t speak with back to attendees Always stick to the time!! (do not go over) Don’t rush a tool, you will lose people
“Client Outcomes vs. Following the Process” Michael Burke
Client in residential construction. Regional Branch Looking for aligned direction Outcome was to get an aligned vision, and implementation steps for current year. How would you approach it? Case Study
What must we excel at? (100% performance) Where will our funds come from? What will be on our invoice? Customers, what will they value? Will they be needing new products/services? Level of substitution? The Strategy MapBy 2012 we will be … Who will be our competitors? What markets will we be present in? What level of rivalry will exist? Threat of new entrants? How will we measure success? What are the high level measures? Financially Non – Financially What must Change to achieve the Vision ? What do we need to do to ensure that this Vision is 100% guaranteed? What will be our core activities? Who are the critical people to our business? Who are our suppliers? What key learning's must we have? Supplier Power? What key technology must we have? Who are our Customers? What will be their Characteristics? Customer Power? What are you going to sell them? How are you going to deliver it? What will be our Sustainable Competitive Advantage ?
In small groups, apply “Porters Five Forces” thinking to a clients industry today. Apply the same model to 2012. Are there any differences? Exercise

Summary • Don’t think because you have been in Mindshop for a while you don’t need to fine-tune your approach / technique. Always sharpen the saw! • Preparation is key to the success of your one-on-one sessions or workshops. • Don’t just prepare on the tools but the client outcomes you want to achieve • Ensure you have the right balance of activity vs. content • Always finish on time!! • A focus on client outcomes will enable you to keep things strategic and not get bogged down in detail / process • Understand a handful (5-6) key Mindshop problem solving tools like the back of your hand • Focus on where you need to improve with either the decision matrix OR force field tools • These days are about fine-tuning your approaches to client interactions. • What is your Number 1 take home lesson?
