How does a management team begin to apply the Beyond Babel Model?
The first step is to seek agreement from all team members regarding the model. It is difficult to apply the model without a consensus. The second step is to develop an objective assessment of the organization against the model. This may require the assistance of a consultant who is knowledgeable in the application of the model. The third step is to develop a prioritized list of action items to begin to address variances between the model and the organization. Work from the bottom up—start with worldview, then equally yoked leadership, and so forth. And finally, the team must make a commitment to accountability to both the action items and a regular re-assessment against the model.
