Vievolve Ltd. - Some Background Information

Experience and Credentials

Even with the dramatic increase in the number of NLP-oriented suppliers now marketing themselves in Europe, we believe we are still unique in our pedigree and experience of combining NLP with other technologies across a wide range of cultural and physical environments.

Our experience of applying NLP in business contexts goes back nearly 20 years, with a demonstrable track record in commercial, Government, NGO and charitable organisations in Europe, Middle East and Africa. In particular we are skilled at introducing complex ideas and methodologies in a practical way, without the need for extensive jargon.

Keys to success:

	We dedicate ourselves to the highest levels of client satisfaction, whatever it takes.
	We agree key performance criteria for success with you ahead of any project.
	We are very sensitive to the need to align participants' personal outcomes with stated organisational goals to ensure full engagement by all delegates to our programmes. In particular we strive to link the content of each session with individual situations and experience.
	We are flexible in our approach to meeting your requirements and will be proactive in suggesting modifications to a project if a more effective way suggests itself.
	We pride ourselves on our ability to handle the most sensitive of concerns as they arise.

Our Approach to NLP in Business

For many business leaders, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) can appear to be too "soft and fluffy", lacking scientific credibility and, at its worst, manipulative and unethical. This has limited much of its application to the overly superficial and populist end of the personal development market. However, part of our mission in Vievolve is to demonstrate that NLP, used selectively alongside other leading edge strategies, can not only provide individuals with highly effective personal development, but can also help organisations to increase the effectiveness of all their relationships. In particular it can help you to ...

Streamline your change processes by focusing on identifying and moving towards mutually beneficial outcomes
Identify what stops a particular change from being sustainable
Determine the future direction of teams and organisations in ways that more exactly meet the needs of clients and other key stakeholders
Identify underlying (often unspoken) conflicts and provide the tools for resolution
Improve decision-making processes by focusing on higher level interests and specific leverage points for action
Accelerate the ability of workshop participants to transfer learning into the workplace

What do we do?

Our activities fall into three main areas:

Design and development of bespoke, results oriented interventions for clients ...
- Complete workshops to address a specific skill, need or desire
- Modules for inclusion as part of a workshop designed to address specific competency requirements
- Facilitation of complex meetings - this can include private consultations with participants prior to the actual meeting itself
- Modelling of specific high level skills so that the distinguishing characteristics can be included in selection processes and/or be trained in to existing personnel
Individual high performance coaching for corporate clients
Design and delivery of accredited NLP programmes, both public and in-house, from fundamental to advanced levels

Topics for which we have developed workshops and/or modules of workshops include ...

Leadership skills - in particular, finding the leader within the individual.

Advanced communication, influencing and relationship skills.

Developing a coaching culture and advanced coaching and feedback skills.

Performance management processes.

Negotiation and conflict resolution processes.

Change management workshops and the subsequent resolution of barriers to progress.

Building "partnering" relationships.

Facilitation of complex scenarios planning workshops.

Facilitation of complex high level meetings.

Why is the Vievolve approach different?

All Directors and Associates in Vievolve have a proven corporate background at senior level prior to joining the organisation. Because we continually challenge ourselves to learn and to integrate NLP with other leading technologies and styles we are able to create a "systemic" learning experience for clients. This means that results achieved are sustainable over time. Methodologies include:

Emotional Intelligence - a way of helping key individuals to increase their influence and effectiveness.

Harvard Negotiation Project - negotiation and conflict resolution tools and strategies.

Graves Values Theory - including Spiral Dynamics and Integral Change Technology.

Systems Thinking - understanding the longer term ripples and consequences arising from a particular change or decision.

We put a significant amount of time and effort into identifying and agreeing precise client outcome requirements prior to the commencement of any project.
