How productive are your employees?

• Employee engagement directly impacts productivity.
• 71% of workers in the United States rate themselves as Not Engaged or Actively Disengaged.
• 66% of workers do not identify with or feel motivated to drive their employer’s business goals and objectives. 
• Engaged employees are psychologically committed to their work and go beyond their job expectations to fulfill their organization’s mission.

Rising Sun Can Help
Rising Sun can help you with:

• Re-engage your employees with their roles in the business
• Instill in your employees a psychological commitment to their work
• Motivate your employees to consistently go beyond their job expectations to fulfill their organization’s mission.

Strategic Planning
Executives spend too many hours each month in unnecessary meetings and discussions.  Much of this wasted time is spent on concepts and projects that will never come to fruition.  This trap can be avoided by utilizing the Rising Sun method of strategic planning, which promotes group synergy and focuses ideas through simple storyboarding activities.
The Rising Sun Fast Track to Strategic Planning…

1. Uses “storyboarding” as the primary discussion facilitation tool
2. Allows active input from stakeholders in a small group environment
3. Is a systematic, easy to understand process
4. Takes less time than traditional strategic planning methods
5. Instills the value of accountability

This planning process can be used for other crucial issues, as well, including action planning, creating mission and vision statements, problem solving, conflict resolution, program or product development.

Executive Coaching
It is not uncommon to find leaders who are experts in their content areas. However, it is more difficult to find leaders who are competent in understanding both people and organizations. Rising Sun’s executive/management coaching services provide a mentoring and advisory platform to help executives advance their leadership skills, as well as improve their management/supervision of key personnel.

Typically, Executive Coaching involves ongoing conversations between an individual leader and one of our senior consultants (either face-to-face or over the phone). These conversations normally focus on such issues as:

• Personal Job Satisfaction and Engagement
• Vision and Mission
• Strategic Thinking
• Goal Setting
• Coaching and Supervising Others
• Program Evaluation

As a result, by focusing on their own professional development, leaders are able to demonstrate a strong commitment to both their own personal and professional growth, as well as the well-being of their employees.

CultureBuilding™ Program:
CultureBuilding™ provides a comprehensive approach to organizational development and change which focuses equally on both character and skills (i.e., values/attitude and behavior).  It consists of four specific programs.  These programs can be applied individually or as a complete series.  Each program includes four 2-4 hour sessions with up to 10 participants (typically members of your leadership and/or management team).  These programs are also available as Off-Site Retreats.

• CultureBuilding™ I focuses on the philosophical orientation or foundation upon which the organization was built.  In this phase, we help our clients to explore: (1) what motivated the founders to create the organization in the first place, (2) what is at the heart of their organization, and (3) what their dreams are for the organization.  Through a series of working sessions, clients will articulate:
       • A set of Guiding Principles for their organization.
       • A set of Shared Values for their organization.
       • A Mission Statement for their organization.
       • A Vision Statement for their organization.
   
• CultureBuilding™ II focuses on the process of strategic planning for the organization.  It is here that clients determine the overarching structure or design for their organization and how they plan or intend to align their values, assumptions, beliefs, and attitudes with the behavioral norms (behaviors, practices and choices) of their organizational culture.  As a result, clients will produce:
       • A Short-Term (Five-Year) Strategic Plan
       • A Long-Term (Ten-Year) Strategic Plan
   
• CultureBuilding™ III focuses on the process of actual program development. At this point, Rising Sun Consultants helps clients focus on specific strategies, techniques, policies, procedures and timelines.  They are also asked to think about/determine their needs in terms of staffing, facilities, finances, etc.  As a result, clients will produce specific:
       • 1 Month Action Plan (including goals, objectives, and desired outcome or results).
       • 3 Month Action Plans (including goals, objectives, and desired outcome or results).
       • 6 Month Action Plans (including goals, objectives, and desired outcome or results).
       • 12 Month Action Plans (including goals, objectives, and desired outcome or results).
   
• CultureBuilding™ IV focuses on the critical components of program evaluation and celebration.  It is at this point that clients are guided through a process of making a commitment to ongoing program evaluation and development.  As a result, clients will not only understand the value of both evaluation and celebration, but they will have developed detailed plans for both:
       • A Priori (Pre-Planned) Program Evaluations
       • Ongoing Community Building and Celebration
