Jointly define purpose, mission, vision and values

When it applies

When significant reflection is necessary, for example to define the mission/vision, purpose, values, desired behaviour… And we want to carry it out actively including those implicated, the members of the organization.

Problem it solves

Strategic reflections continue to be done in a very centralized way, by the departments of strategy, transformation, communication, HR, organization... Even if work groups with members of the organization are created, it is difficult to ensure that a representative sample of people is asked, and there is objectivity in the collection of opinions. External help from consultants provides additional insight, but it does not change the fact that they are “top-down”. The result is that these types of initiatives reflect a limited understanding of reality, far removed from the capability and aim of the organization. Because there is no easy recipe or single solution, these reflections end up being theoretical documents.

Added value by delibera

It allows you to carry out reflections including a very relevant number of people (500-1000-5000), in an organized and profound way and within a reduced time frame (2 weeks - 1 month)
Optimizing the deliberation process, eliminating time, language and geographic constraints for participation
Identifying changemakers, measuring and recognizing collaboration
Optimizes the efficiency and scope of the information collection process

The HR Manager of a leading telecom company uses delibera to define the behaviour that the members of their department should have, taking into account that they are distributed throughout 10 European and Latin American countries and use 4 different languages. During 8 weeks, through a sequence of templates in delibera, these behaviours are identified and prioritized between all, grounding them to the reality of the organization. Thanks to the automatic translation feature in delibera, everyone can express themselves in the language that is most natural to them.

The Head of Organization and Culture for EMEA of a leading insurance company uses delibera to agree on the key behaviours that the people of the entity should have.
