This course seemed like the perfect fit for an SME such as HMG Paints in an ever more complex and multifaceted world.
In our business, we have a mixture of one-off, large scale projects and longer term strategic projects, so the subject matter is relevant for both of these areas.
The course revealed an entirely different approach to managing decision making and governance. It's fair to say that it has been quite transformational in altering my thinking behind how we make and manage decisions.
There are two aspects that make a course enjoyable. One is the subject matter which is very relevant to how our business operates in the manufacturing sector.
The second is the quality of the teaching. Paolo’s teaching style is extremely engaging, utilising a myriad of case studies and examples to help translate concept into understandable and implementable systems.
The Maieutic Machine is already being used within our organisation, only 2 weeks after finishing the course!
I cannot think of a better example of academia being implemented into real business process than that.
My advice would be to think about how decisions are made within your organisation for example in meetings. Often business meetings frame a situation from a specific angle/perspective, telling participants what is happening rather than encouraging participation from differing viewpoints.
This course helps implement systems to open ideas up for council and debate. As a consequence, decision making is more comprehensive and better decisions get made.
