Highlight: the Pacific Institute
Enterprise: Unlocking the UK’s talent outlines the Governments vision to make the UK the most enterprising economy in the world and sets out a range of steps to help individuals realise their full potential.
Supporters of enterprise who are working in communities to raise individuals’ aspirations and motivation thereby enabling them to grasp opportunities and use their talent and initiative to be enterprising might be interested in programmes delivered by the Pacific Institute (TPI).
EnterpriseUpfront takes a look at the public sector business area of TPI which for over 30 years has been developing and delivering programmes which place individuals at the heart of the change or growth process.
The institute works in over 50 countries consulting with clients to deliver high performance and cultural transformation in organisations, local and central government, health, criminal justice, community regeneration and education systems.
TPI offers a scientific based and validated approach that:
• Gives people and teams extremely powerful and sustainable powerful
and sustainable processes on “How” to change and be even better, in
their personal and professional lives
• By working with leaders, creates organisations and communities where
people have a passion for what they do, and really enjoy working and
being together to totally transform their results and culture
• Builds internal capacity within organisations to ensure real and lasting change
• Causes significant transformation across entire organisations and communities
TPI assists individuals to develop their thinking skills, thereby impacting on their own performance as well as that of their teams, organisations and communities. The programmes are offered to people of all ages and in a broad variety of contexts, focusing on how the mind works, goal-setting, developing self-efficacy and the unlocking of potential.
TPI personal alignment processes provide a deep understanding as to how individuals limit themselves and allow the release of that potential with strong individual accountability.
Key areas of development include how to:
• Manage and effect significant personal change
• Change deep rooted behaviours
• Release untapped potential
• Empower self and others
• Take accountability
• Consistently set and achieve challenging goals
• Motivate oneself over a sustained period
• Flourish in new environment
• Develop leadership and communication skills, especially for leaders where these skills are not natural.
The main processes applicable in this alignment phase are:
Investment in Excellence – for professional staff and leaders
STEPS to Excellence – for support staff, parents, community groups
PX2 – for young people
TPI reports that the Steps to Excellence programme has been particularly effective in:
• Helping long-term unemployed people develop the motivation and self-belief to complete other training and find jobs.
• Enabling those made redundant to develop a new future for themselves.
