BEST PRACTICES SURVEYS & reports
shaping a cchange ready organization BEST PRACTICES
organization best practices
Stonehill’s 21 Best Practices for a Change Ready organization were extensively researched and chosen to be powerful influencers on using your infrastructure/over-all operations (e.g., your values and how you structure, recruit, train, set goals, resolve conflicts, measure and manage) to shape a stable & agile organization.
Also chosen to be practical (sensible, doable & familiar), they work with current goals & tactics, apply to everyone, and are measurable and non-weaponizable, giving you quantifiable, positive “benchmarks” that help deliver the connections you need today.
This comprehensive “foundation” assures you reach your goals, without which, even good tactics may fail today.
survey of BEST PRACTICES
Our assessment uses these 21 best practices in an anonymous, online survey of your organization, asking “to what extent and "how important" each practice is.
There was no limit to the number of responders. Our recommendation was to have wide distribution throughout the organization to have an informed, nuanced opinion on your Best Practices. There can be data cuts (e.g. manager/nonmanager) and other groupings the organization needs to focus and use the data
survey report
Measuring the degree to which the Best Practices are seen by your organization as being used now, and perceived to be important to success, the survey report gives a clear, measured understanding of what needs to be strengthened in your organization to assure a resilient adaptive approach to the challenges of todays landscape
The report data supplies a focus to your change readiness efforts and resource usage for an adaptive approach to the challenges of today's landscape
best practices for managing a connected, successful team
MANAGER/LEADER best practices
The role of today’s manager/leader has changed given today’s challenges and the need for a connected culture:
- FROM – hire/manage for fit & tell everyone what to do (jobs fulfilled in a uniform way)
- TO – hire/manage for flex & provide what’s needed for agile, responsive connected teams
Our research has identified the 18 manager best practices (from what works and what doesn’t) that support today’s new role. These leading-edge practices were chosen to assure successful teams. They cover:
- Building a Successful Team
- Supporting Your Team’s Success
- Sustaining Your Team’s Success
Additionally, adding any of the best practices to managers/leader training will strengthen the skill set of your management team.

Our assessment of manager’s team on these 18 best practices uses an anonymous, online survey to ask “to what extent” the manager uses these practices. This pinpoints the specific areas the manager can work on to improve their own management/leadership.

tactical guides
best practices tactics guides
Both Best Practice Survey Reports (Change Ready Organization and Managing a Connected Successful Team) come with a link to their Tactics Guide. For every Best Practice, Stonehill conducted thorough research into contemporary tactics to determine which approaches are currently effective and which are not. Drawing on extensive experience and expertise in organizational transformation, Stonehill applied Human Intelligence (HI) to select the most powerful tactics that best align with today's challenging environment
The Guides support the usage of the Best Practices. For each Best Practice there is:
- Overviewing any needed extra understanding of the practice impact on change readiness or managing a team
- Illustrating the tactics that can be employed to create or enhance the practice
You can choose to work on specific Best Practices.
Each Best Practice in your survey report has a URL to take you directly to their page in their Tactics Guide
CONNECTED DECISION MAKING guide
A decision making process that forges connection and agility
A critical part of shaping an engaged, agile, productive and responsive team that can produce the innovations you want for/from your team, is having an engaged/connected planning/decision-making process to encourage and use their input.
An effective process brings together a wide variety of perspectives, to find “best” solutions, ones that also take into account the larger outcomes and current scenario. It also supports innovation thinking when a wide variety of perspectives are forged into a doable answer
Our Connected Decision Making process is a simple, yet effective, way of getting your teams input for “best” solutions while having the team “value/use” every members contribution enhancing “connection”.
The guide is supported by a document that can be used to drive the 4 Step process.
TEAMS & PARTNERSHIP GUIDE
Traditionally, the role of the manager was to support productivity by telling workers what needed to be done, observe their output, and reward or sanction workers accordingly, but the role is shifting. Managers are increasingly, in this dramatic, changing organizational structures and work modes, becoming leaders who enable teams to have agility, strategically problem-solve & innovate as they work together.
This makes strong partnerships & teams a foundation of success in their new role and in support the organization’s needs in the challenging landscape
The Guide gives specific processes that can support partnerships & teams:
- Structuring a strong team
- Conflict management
- Decision making for productivity & innovation
- Supporting the team’s output
