Tony Mann
Tony Mann formed Resource Strategic Change Facilitators in 1988.
As
Director of Resource Strategic Change Facilitators Tony's expertise is in change
management and organisational development. He is involved in developing change strategies
for Local Authority and Central Government, clients in the private and not-for-profit
sectors. Tony's particular expertise is in the process of change using the Process Iceberg.
A major part of Tony’s work
is focused on facilitating strategic events, running workshops and overseeing projects to
support new ways of working. Tony has liaised closely with Leeds Metropolitan University
in the development of the first Professional Qualification in
Facilitation which has been running successfully for 4 years.
Resource
Strategic Change Facilitators has developed ADaPT®ability, a
flexible, on-line profiling and auditing tool for profling individuals and groups as well
as undertaking organisational surveys. ADaPT®ability measures competence; readiness for
change; training needs and also provides the basis for individual 360º feedback.
ADaPT®ability is flexible enough to provide standard questionnaires as well as the
ability to input a tailored questionnaire to suit specific needs.
Tony has, over his many years of
experience, evolved a methodology for Scenario Planning that focuses
on the key drivers in the external environment and assesses these against organisational
capabilities. This enables teams to manage change in a way that is responsive to a rapidly
changing environment.
Leadership development at every
level is key to an organisation’s success. We DON’T provide off the shelf
courses. Instead we provide tailored Action Centred development
for leaders to equip them for their role.
Resource has, in response to
client need, developed a video editing capability to capture
training and strategic documentaries around the change issues. Resource has produced DVDs
for Network Rail, Egyptian Liquid Natural Gas for trainers and for various other
organisations.

"I personally got an enormous amount from the Programme. I learnt loads about myself and others from Myers Briggs which allowed the release of so much potential from working together in a synergistic way and the facilitation tools proved invaluable at a site that had previously been run very autocratically ( the tools ensure a facilitative leadership style at all levels)
The tools enabled real robust improvement plans to be developed and encouraged good cross functional team working.
It's the best Programme I have been on in 20 years and the most useful as I still use many of the techniques.
In the short term it gave an energy and excitement to the team and action plans which drove real improvement. It helped move the site forward culturally and allowed for much greater employee engagement. The IR situation improved beyond recognition and we achieved recognition in a number of areas for improved performance. This has continued since then and team still use many of the tools."
Facilitation Courses in New Zealand, using the Process Iceberg methodology, are well under way despite the recession which is also affecting the public and private sector there. The workshops are run by Rob Handyside in conjunction with Tregaskis Brown as part of a joint venture with Resource.
Tony Mann of Resource is working with Rob to ensure that the content suits the audience in New Zealand. Rob in recent conversation said "The Programme is well received and is seen as fresh and an exciting way to get buy-in and commitment from groups and gives people the skills to tackle organisational issues".
We are looking forward to running the first 5 Day Programme as the market matures. |
