In today's world, organisations constantly need to reinvent themselves in order to effectively adapt to the increasing pace of change in the business world.  Mergers, acquisitions and reorganisations are increasingly becoming the norm, which means that individuals and business leaders have to constantly move across different teams and functions. At the same time, the business environment demands that they quickly integrate themselves into the new teams, and deliver creative solutions in a relatively short span of time. This leads to high levels of stress, lack of motivation, low morale, and eventually reduces the overall productivity of the business unit. So the ability of an organisation to foster a culture of creativity, collaboration, and effective communication across different levels has become all the more crucial.

 

 

Rhythm Consultancy - Our Methodology

Sewa Beats Rhythm Consultancy specifically targets this need of organisations and has in the past proved very effective with top companies, sports teams and leading business schools. Our programmes are based on experiential learning. We create a safe space and encourage participants to take initiatives and experiment in order to bring about a deeper awareness of both themselves and each other. We use rhythm and music as the powerful medium to evoke emotions within the individuals and groups we work with. We believe that corporations today need to see beyond traditional methods such as bonuses or promotions.  With our methodology, individuals and teams connect and learn on an emotional level, thus enabling them to achieve greater individual participation in their organisations' vision and success. Emotional and experiential learning form the cornerstone of our learning methodology.

Our programmes have been effective with all kinds of teams, whether from top management or the front line. Sewa Beats provides participants with a better understanding of themselves, and their role in the organisation, by focusing on:

  • Stress management

Participants gain insights on how to work under pressure, navigate through stressors and deal with an information overload.
  • Leadership and collaboration

An organisation needs followers as much as it needs leaders, and when participants are asked to lead the group, individual preferences and skills become apparent.
  • Team dynamics

Small groups of participants create their own music with a variety of instruments, and in so doing explore the different qualities it takes to build a team.
  • Forging bonds throughout the organisation

The better we understand our own role, the better we can understand the role of our colleagues, and, ultimately, correctly determine the direction of the whole organisation.
  • Active listening and non-verbal communication

African drumming engages the body as well as the mind, encouraging participants to be receptive to a number of sensory cues.
  • Freedom to experiment

Participants experience the joy of testing their limits and going further than they thought possible.
  • Playing on each individual's strength

Participants work with colleagues from different parts of the organisation, learning to cooperate by creating music together.

 

Sewa Beats delivers its organisational development programs in collaboration with its associates and the client's HR team, or training consultants. This collaboration is the foundation of its tailor-made management programmes, and is a critical factor in their relevance and success.

Our programmes are flexible and can be arranged and adapted in different ways, from two-hour sessions to whole-day programmes.

Ben Starkie- Head of Communications, Logitech Europe

Our objective:

"Logitech's European team planned to hold one of the region's biggest and most important meetings of the new fiscal year. The meeting was important because it was the first time for many months that such a large group of its European employees had come together - the company wished to bring a renewed feeling of being one team to the group. Equally, against the backdrop of difficult economic conditions, the company wanted to send a clear signal that this year was going to be another successful one."

The Sewa Beats solution:

"Logitech chose to open its meeting with Sewa Beats because the simplicity, energy and unity of such a large group playing the djembe sent an important physical and symbolic message to all employees present. Additionally, the Sewa Beats team was extremely effective in leveraging the analogy between music and business - the need to play as one team, listen to each other, have courage in making mistakes etc. All in all, the Sewa Beats offering was spot on for our needs, very professional, flexible and a pleasure to work with. A mix of professionalism and art bound perfectly together."
