In case you haven’t noticed yet, I love using acronyms.
They are a coach’s best friend, because acronyms are the stuff of mantras. They keep people focused, provide teams with decision-making filters, and create the Language of Intention in organizations.
I create acronyms all the time for customers by simply restringing the words they themselves are excited about in their values, visions, and missions. In turn, they will take over and make them mantras, sayings and battle cries. That way it starts and ends as theirs: They own it because essentially they did author the building blocks of it, I just shorten it into acronyms or 5, 6, or 7-point lists they can remember easily and inculcate into the company culture.
Last summer, I created MWA3P for our MWA workplace productivity module. MWA of course, is for Managing with Aloha and D5M is for the Daily 5 Minutes. My recent favorite with a few customers has been POP ² Management.
