• One of the drivers of rapid growth for any organization are its
people and their alignment towards a “common goal” and a
“shared vision and values”.

7. Facilitating The process: Applying Global
NEWS Organizational Navigation Model
7
Organizations and teams are
focused on moving from ‘current’
to ‘future’ in a more predictable
way, defining metrics and
milestones for success
Teams need to figure their “north”
(direction) and “west” (planning &
execution process) –how they get
there
Such knowledge often means
organizational/functional energy
and improved sustainability
