BEST PRACTICES SURVEYS & TACTICS GUIDES
INFRASTRUCTURE BEST PRACTICES
Stonehill’s 21 Best Practices for a connected organization were 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 give context to, and shape a “belonging” culture and behaviors.
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 one is, which gives:
- A clear understanding of what needs to be strengthened in your organization to assure a foundation of connection.
- Your people an understanding as to what specifically your organization supports for success today.
best practices TACTICS GUIDE
For each Best Practice, the Guide provides additional information and powerful tactics. These practical, researched actions are usable tactics to create and strengthen your connected infrastructure that benefits everyone.
best practices for managing a connected, successful team
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

Additionally, adding any of the best practices to managers/leader training will strengthen the skill set of your management team.

CONNECTED DECISION MAKING
A critical part of shaping an engaged, agile, productive and responsive team that can produce the connections you want for/from your team, is having an engaged/connected planning/decision-making process to encourage and use their input.
An effective engaged/connected process brings together a wide variety of perspectives, to find “best” solutions, ones that also take into account the larger outcomes and current scenario.
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 video is supported by a document that can be used to drive the 4 Step process.
