In consulting, we often encounter organizations that are struggling with inefficiencies, missed targets, or internal conflicts. Dig a little deeper, and you’ll often find the root cause lies in a lack of clear accountability and authority. These two concepts, though straightforward, are absolutely critical to an organization’s success. Yet, in my experience, they are frequently overlooked or misunderstood. Addressing this gap can transform an organization from chaotic and reactive to streamlined and proactive.
Reflecting on my years in the field, I’ve seen firsthand how organizations falter when these foundational elements are absent. It’s like building a house without a solid foundation—the structure may hold for a while, but eventually, cracks will show. Clear accountability ensures that everyone knows who is accountable for what, while clear authority ensures that those responsibilities can be acted upon effectively. When these are in place, an organization operates smoothly, decisions are made efficiently, and strategic goals are met.
In the upcoming CMC-Canada webinar, “Transforming Organizations: The Consultant’s Blueprint for Success,” I’ll be discussing how accountability and authority should be woven into the very fabric of an organization’s operating practices. This is not about adding more layers of bureaucracy—far from it. It’s about ensuring that every role is defined, every accountability is clear, and every leader has the authority they need to fulfill their obligations. This framework is essential for any consultant looking to add real value to their clients.
Over the years, I’ve developed and refined a practical approach that ensures these principles are not just theoretical but actionable using the Effective Point of Accountability® framework. During the session, we’ll explore real-world examples and dissect the common pitfalls that can derail even the most well-intentioned organizations. We’ll talk about how to diagnose where accountability and authority are breaking down and, more importantly, how to fix it.
What I particularly appreciate about this upcoming session is the chance to share these insights with a small, focused group of peers. The limited enrollment is intentional—it allows for a richer, more interactive experience where we can engage in meaningful discussions and share our experiences openly. It’s not just about learning from me; it’s about learning from each other.
As consultants, our goal is to help our clients build organizations that are not just successful but sustainable. By attending this session, you’ll gain tools that will enable you to structure your clients’ organizations in a way that supports long-term success. I’m pleased to bring my experience to this session, and I’m confident you’ll find the content both practical and immediately applicable.
I hope you’ll join me for this engaging and highly relevant workshop. Let’s work together to master the essentials of accountability and authority, and in doing so, create organizations that are built to last.
