Creating a Responsive Organization
Organizations are struggling to keep up with the increasing pace of change. Our experience working with companies of all types show some consistent and growing issues:
- Not time to plan or strategize because of constant firefighting
- An increasing inability to implement or realize value from change efforts
- Slow decision making and even slower execution
- Leaders working harder but getting less done
- Revenues increasing but margins tightening
- Difficulty keeping up with scale, technology, and new competition
Today’s exponentially changing operating environment is just too fluid and unpredictable to rely on traditional methods devised over a century ago. As the drumbeat of business disruption grows, organizations must become more adaptable by unlocking emergent leadership and incorporating responsive value, talent and knowledge management techniques and structures. To be successful, teams must be inspired by confident, knowledgeable leaders who can elicit emergent performance. Rather than pursuing another version of the tangled matrix organization, the Responsive model takes from natural science and deep research in organizational development to create a value focused, talent rich, transparent, rapidly scalable, and highly adaptable approach.
Creating a Responsive Organization explores the key elements for building a Responsive organization capable of thriving in a complex, less predictable environments.
