Mindset Team

What is a mindset?  How can a mindset be changed?  Or can a mindset even be changed?  These are some of the questions that strategy teams may face when attempting to develop and institute a new initiative within The Hagerman Group.  Within the original format of Strategies I, several of the strategies had the common goal of establishing a mindset within the company.  When the strategies were re-engineered, one significant addition was the creation of one common Mindset Team.  This team would be charged with studying and understanding the most effective way to change a mindset; therefore, being able to serve as a resource to all other strategy teams.
The first task undertaken by the newly formed Mindset Team was for each member to read a book on the topic of mindset or change and report back to the team what was learned.  Next the team developed a protocol for implementing a mindset change, applied it to a test case, and analyzed the results.  Moving forward, the team is looking forward to working in unison with the other 13 strategy teams, to help ensure the success of each team’s own initiatives of change.  Once a mindset is developed, the goals and objectives of each strategy team will stand a much better chance at being accepted by the organization.
