ACCELERATING CHANGE

It would be no exaggeration to state that in today’s brutal environment the only thing that would ensure success for us in the future is our ability to lead and manage change.

Disruptive change is all around us. Research suggests that corporate life spans are shrinking: In the 50’s the average tenure of a company on the S&P 500 was 61 years. Today it is just 18 years. These numbers suggest that as companies grow and become successful they will need to manage a process of reinventing themselves continually without jeopardizing their current success.

As fundamental shifts occur in industry structure, technology advances at a dizzying pace and society evolves at an incredible pace businesses would need to adapt faster than ever before. Businesses would need to move from incremental improvements to reinvention of models, processes and practices. The challenge is in how to it reliably and predictably given the failure rate of changes which are around 70%. We believe that by learning from the past and with a disciplined approach change can be accelerated in an organization. It is also possible to change the perception that successful changes are an aberration; to a capability which enables organizations repeatability of effective change.

We can help you master change by helping you through

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

As business learns to navigate the new normal as it were, Leadership has never been more important. The essence of leadership is to foster change and to prepare the organization for the opportunities and challenges of the future. Einstein defined insanity as” Continuing to do the same things and expect different results ”. Classic approaches to management focused on linear problem solving in a simple world are no more valid in a world full of adaptive challenges. We believe that successful organizations are in a state of “continuous transformation”. Organization would need to push the envelope continually to stay competitive while dealing with paradoxes: Deliver better results while focussing on the long term; prepare organizations for change while building on past successes; create a high performance culture while promoting innovation and the inevitable failure. To accomplish this truly effective leaders create and communicate a sense of purpose, they inspire and motivate others to join them in that purpose, they create a congruent social architecture for the people and they develop other leaders. ”Leaders enable continuous transformation’.

We believe leadership development occurs in a context and requires a systematic approach. It also needs to be aligned with the Vision and Strategic goals of the organization.

We engage with you to understand your business needs and can help design customized leadership development interventions. We focus on both enhancing the effectiveness of your current pipeline as well as help you architect the future leadership pipeline.

Communication Skills

Dynamic organizations acknowledge the significant value that effective communication can deliver, especially in the climate of persistent change. Effective leaders communicate strategically, translating important business objectives into terms that employees readily understand. As a consequence, employees are engaged, align their actions accordingly and work towards organizational success.

Strategic Leadership

Strategic leaders must be adept at finding common ground and achieving buy-in among stakeholders who have disparate views and agendas. This requires active outreach. Success depends on proactive communication, trust building, and frequent engagement. Strategic leaders can also create vision, express vision, passionately possess vision and persistently drive it to accomplishment.

Talent Development

Leadership and talent development are top priorities for organizations. In CEO surveys, the development of better leaders and talent pipelines is always identified as one of management’s top three priorities. Talent development is not an event. It is a process. To make it sustainable, it must become part of the culture.
