2. Sustainability has *many* dimensions
But *none* of the dimensions can move beyond rhetoric
if the ORGANIZATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS
(external and internal)
are sub-optimal
3. So: HOW to determine the current state of your
organizational relationships?
How to find out if they are IMPROVING or
DETERIORATING?
How to MANAGE these relationships
systematically?
How to MEASURE the relationships?
4. Relational Analytics measures
Relational Proximity®
The distance in the relationship between
people, groups or organisations.
That determines how well each can
understand the
thinking and behaviour of the other
– and therefore how well they will be able to
work together…
Measuring Relational Distance provides a way to understand and adjust the relationship
Distance matters in a relationship. We are familiar with geographical distance and emotional distance and perhaps even cultural distance.
To assess effectively the quality of a relationship, we asked what are the key elements of relationships?
Our model analyses relational capital positively: closeness or Relational Proximity®
NB. THIS SLIDE COVERS ALL PARTIES – BUT YOU CAN DO ONLY ONE OR TWO, IF YOU WISH
Numerical results enable clear interpretation and visual presentation
The scores show how close the overall relationship is perceived to be by the parties, based on the average of their scores
Gap in the Scores shows the size of the difference in perceptions of the quality of the relationship, based on the average score of the respondents in each party
Driver & Sub-driver Scores show which aspects of the relationships are weak and strong. The interplay between the sub-drivers provides detailed diagnosis of what is happening, and what is likely to be most open to improvement
Consensus shows the extent to which views are polarised within one party
