Approach used
Our approach to this assignment has included the following steps:
- Clarification of objectives; what is it that the E+ has been established to achieve
- Design of E+ processes; how can these objectives be best met
- Implementation; the monthly planning, preparation, facilitation and capture of the E+ (including meetings with the CEO, Executive and other senior managers)
- Review; the design and analysis of a feedback process of the E+ for the CEO
Outcomes of the assignment
The feedback on the E+ indicates that most of the members are satisfied or very satisfied with the E+, and believe that it has exceeded their expectations in one or more ways. All members who provided feedback agreed that the [Catalise] facilitation role helps keep the E+ meetings on track.
