BUILDING THE AGILE ORGANIZATION:

HOW PEOPLE MAKE ORGANIZATIONS AGILE

For HR practitioners, talent/L&D/OD specialists, and internal change agents

Targeted performance outcomes: better, more sustained results from digitalization and transformation efforts; more effective execution of strategy; improved organizational effectiveness, streamlined decision making; enhanced creativity, innovation & ESG performance; a psychological foundation for better diversity and inclusion

The level of environmental uncertainty in today’s world exacerbates the challenges of strategic change, digitalization, and business transformation. Organizational agility creates a sound basis for business and organizational transformation, or a pivot in strategy, to do so in such a way that will create value and sustained improvements in performance. Organizations that exhibit agility demonstrate speed of response during crises and ambiguous situations, such as global pandemics. Ultimately, we aim to help organizations make agility part of the corporate DNA, and a source of sustained competitive advantage. We do this by sharing psychologically robust and scalable approaches to leadership, culture, organization structure, and career management. Each of these topics can also be covered individually (below).

LEADING THE AGILE ORGANIZATION:

THE 4 A’s of AGILE LEADERSHIP

For senior leadership teams, groups of senior leaders, & transformation managers

Targeted performance outcomes: improved engagement of people during transformation and mobilization of teams towards shared purpose, and business goals

Effective change leadership builds shared aspiration and emotional alignment, drives operational acceleration, and ensures sustained achievement in an organization. These are the four 4 A’s of Agile Leadership. We have designed the Leadership Agility Questionnaire in collaboration with Sova Assessment. This mobile-friendly digital assessment can be used to provide assessment data, feedback and coaching to leaders, as individuals and as teams. It is a robust psychometric tool which supports authentic and data-driven conversations about agile leadership. Our approach to development of agile leadersip also makes use of role play, scenarios which can be designed based on your own business, action learning and other experiential learning methods.

We use this psychological approach to help executives understand the core competences needed and the common leadership biases which can affect performance in times of uncertainty. We also share a framework for managing paradox in organizations. We explore the dilemmas that leaders commonly face and connect those with leadership styles and preferences.

CULTURAL AGILITY: CONVERSATIONS THAT CONNECT

For people managers and leaders

Targeted performance outcomes: coaching culture, improved productivity, better relationships at work and collaboration, better diversity and inclusion, wellbeing, and mental health

Effective and purposeful conversations are at the heart of an agile culture. We build awareness and skill in leaders and managers to have the right conversations in the right ways, at the right times, with the right people, using ‘whole intelligence’. This requires them to learn to be present, authentic, and sensitive to emotional undercurrents within their teams. We work on this with clients experientially, using role play and practice on real-world scenarios.

STRUCTURAL AGILITY: LEARNING & INNOVATING BY DESIGN

For HR practitioners and business leaders

Targeted performance outcomes: greater efficiency, speed, learning and innovation; faster, less bureaucratic decision-making processes

Structures need a balance of ‘loose’ and ‘tight’ design in organizations which are seeking growth. Structural agility is about getting this balance right, to be able to meet operational demands while also driving transformation. Agile teams are at the heart of agile organizations, and they make optimal use of hierarchy. We share ideas and approaches which companies are using for building agile teams in which people can work creatively, and flexibility with adequate risk controls.

CAREER AGILITY:

BEING THE ARCHITECT OF YOUR CAREER

For high potential talent and future leaders

Targeted performance outcomes: greater efficiency, speed, learning and innovation; faster, less bureaucratic decision-making processes

Our approach to complexity is to cut to the chase. We have no incentive to over-complicate things. We represent an efficient alternative for you.

Our impact is achieved by leveraging client internal resources, technologies and capabilities, in many cases by upskilling leaders, line managers and internal HR practitioners.

Our desire from the outset is to transfer the necessary tools and knowledge to you, our client, to develop internal ownership, and achieve scale fast, rather than become dependent on us.

We are led by a desire to make a lasting difference, by evidence-based practice, and by you as a client.

Often our role is to plug short-term gaps in resource or capability for the design and implementation of internal career development initiatives, leadership development programmes, or organizational change.

We are able to shape and coordinate the efforts of other vendors, offering direction and ensuring high-value outcomes.
