Our Approach to Organizational Transformation

Because individual change precedes organizational change, Arbinger helps facilitate a shift in mindset at the personal level and provides the tools to leverage this change and dramatically improve organization-wide results.

Why mindset matters

The root cause of most organizational problems is that people naturally focus inward, prioritizing their own needs, challenges, and objectives without an awareness of the impact on others. Organizations can only resolve internal problems and achieve breakthrough results by maximizing the extent to which their employees work with an outward mindset—when they consider the impact of their actions on others and focus on organizational success.

What’s the difference between an inward and outward mindset?

Inward mindset

Inward mindset

People with inward mindsets are highly focused on their personal goals, with a low concern for the needs of co-workers or others around them. This is a natural state for most people.

  • Tunnel vision
  • Silos
  • Blame
  • Stagnation
  • Low morale

Outward mindset

Outward mindset

People who have an outward mindset recognize the needs of those around them and work to achieve their objectives in a way that enables the success of the greater group. Individuals and teams can learn to operate consistently with an outward mindset with intentional focus and training. Organizations where people consistently work with an outward mindset are characterized by:

  • Awareness
  • Collaboration
  • Accountability
  • Innovation
  • Engagement

The journey to an outward mindset

Organizational change doesn’t happen overnight. Arbinger enables organizations and their people to turn outward through a three-step process: mindset change, leader development, and systems improvement. A partnership with Arbinger begins with assessing your organization’s needs and challenges, in-person or virtual workshop sessions, the implementation of a sustainment program, and ongoing coaching and consulting to ensure your team is getting the most out of your investment.
