Advanced Solution Center<br />
Common objectives realized with Advanced<br />
Solution Center Events are:<br />
• Better solutions developed in a faster,<br />
more collaborative way<br />
• Stronger buy-in and commitment across<br />
the organization<br />
• Innovative strategies and solutions<br />
designed with multiple stakeholders<br />
• Effective launch of new programs across<br />
the organization<br />
• Seamless communication, creating<br />
mutual understanding<br />
• Likely reduced risk, even in large and<br />
complex transformations<br />
<strong>The</strong> secret to the success of ASCs lies in<br />
the combination of proven group-based<br />
learning techniques, leading tools, fresh<br />
and focused facilitation, carefully designed<br />
creative environments and professional<br />
information design.<br />
<strong>The</strong> concept is founded on scientific<br />
principles which stimulate participants’<br />
ability to create new ideas and work<br />
together to develop innovative solutions.<br />
Each event has a customized design, with<br />
a diverse mix of individual, small group<br />
and plenary exercises, which encourage<br />
participants to think outside the box as<br />
well as reaching mutual agreement. <strong>The</strong><br />
output from an ASC is a solution to which<br />
all participants contributed and therefore<br />
accept as their own creation. <strong>The</strong> effect<br />
is long-lasting engagement and a<br />
motivated team.<br />
Over the past few years, we have further<br />
developed our ASC concept including<br />
virtual elements and Web 2.0 technologies,<br />
turning customized event documentation<br />
websites used in earlier years into powerful<br />
transformation tools. One significant<br />
advantage is the way we make the<br />
transformation process more efficient by<br />
enabling hundreds of people across the<br />
globe to be involved in the process without<br />
incurring travel time and expenses. For<br />
example, we use crowd-sourcing platforms<br />
to actively engage large audiences in<br />
important stages of the transformation<br />
process, such as issue identification, idea<br />
generation or feedback collection. In this<br />
way, the spirit and momentum created<br />
at the initial ASC event extends and<br />
continues to provide lasting and sustainable<br />
transformation support long after the<br />
event itself.<br />
“ What most excites me is the way<br />
we are doing this all together,<br />
with people from all parts of the<br />
organization. It got every single<br />
person involved in every key aspect<br />
of the transformation.”<br />
