How Neelix.IO began
WHAT IS OUR JOURNEY?
Overview of context and the environment within which the challenge was identified.
The intrinsic and universal value proposition that appeared to be untapped.
The catalyst event that started Neelix.IO platform. The back to basics experience and approach.
The world has been getting exponentially more complex.
Organizations that find complexity challenging choose what short-term constraints allow rather than what is needed for the maximized value. Companies are showered in surveys, external consultancy offerings and proprietary solutions.
The toolkit for slicing challenges became something of a chainsaw - mechanical and highly repeatable process design. It can be a sharp tool but is limited in what it can cut, causes collateral damage, creates noise, and demands considerable effort.
Everyone’s lives have became more complex as a result of inefficiencies caused by "chainsaw" workplace methods. Associated decision-making started turning difficult problems into
wicked
ones.
Organizations that struggle with complexity often turn to external knowledge sources for help or simply try to copy someone else's method.
The complexity of the environment has been multiplied through another factor - good principles-based approaches being turned into linear rules that may do more harm than the good intended by underlying principles.
Examples:
Humans need to reimagine "what" we do. The "how" is quickly running away with accelerating technological advancements. Traditional industrialised approaches cannot give us what we desire, and can make us irrelevant.
The untapped potential is awaiting us deep within the proposition of going back to basics. We need to rediscover fundamental approaches:
Businesses employ too many methods that are ritualised, costly and boring. There is a huge potential for improving the environment and performance via:
Simpler does not necessarily mean less sophisticated. Some may think they lack knowledge and education, but in reality the missing element may be discipline. Higher performance is achived by doing less and better.
A single well-polished and disciplined technique is more powerful than a dozen of impulsive habits.
What people universally desire from a workplace:
People want lives to be simpler and more fulfilling. This can be achieved by going back to basics and embracing simpler approaches.
Specific experience in founder's past leadership experience triggered him into systemising a "back to basics" approach used for boosting team performance.
A system of self-awareness was coached and orchestrated by the founder to help the team realign, mature and smash its targets. That approach became the underlying model of Neelix.IO platform.
Whilst taking up a new position, the founder discovered that the established team's performance and behaviour were affected by deeply held tribal opinions and trauma caused by the environment of policitcs - every single person complained behind each other back within a week to the "new manager"
The solution was to create a data lake of contextual and measurable experiences - this was used for realignment and re-awakenig of collective intelligence.
Solution:
Outcomes:
Neelix.IO team have been hard at work at testing various mechanisms for facilitating organizational self-awareness.
Our achievements:
We are committed to innovating, improving our product and having fun in the process. We use Neelix.IO for internal self-awareness and continuous improvement.
Star Trek franchise can be viewed as something bigger than simply a sci fi series:
Neelix is a character who serves as a cook, morale officer, and eventual ambassador for the crew. In the fan community, Neelix is sometimes underestimated and even disliked by few due to his quirkiness and simpleton traits. However, this is exactly what enabled him to do the job of Chief Morale Officer better than anyone else could. He is a natural Court Jester who leverages dialogue and reflective thinking for triggering conversations.
The ultimate importance of Neelix as a character:
Neelix.IO platform gives an avenue to the voice of employees and elevates it to the roles of:
Our approach is about going back to basics by reducing reliance on traditional discrete surveys.
Each organization's culture pot is unique. Management of culture is akin to cooking - you need to stir it and taste it without bias. Neelix.IO Live Pulse Model is a much simpler and a much more impactful method than any other approaches.
Neelix.IO approach is about empowering safe and systemic honesty without the restraining factors of perfectionism.
Reflective thinking assisted by these traits can make the world a better place. We can reduce noise by going back to basics and reawakening critical thinking.
To remain relevant in the context of the technological revolution, humanity needs to learn to build bridges between perspectives. The challenge is presented by light pollution that hides the stars. Without visible stars, we unlearned to dream and question ourselves. We offer a fundamental approach to eliminate smog.
We want to learn about your experience and perspective. Let's discuss how Neelix.IO can help.
