Change Readiness

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Adapting is key to survival and success in today’s business landscape, driven by ever-increasing speed of change and environmental unpredictability.
• Organizational capacity for change matters a lot.
• Our Change Readiness gauge is a tool to understand your organization’s current capacity for change and develop a roadmap for boosting that capacity.

Let’s face it, today’s business landscape has most of us scratching our heads. Whether trying to figure out how to confront the “great resignation,” how to jump aboard the digital acceleration, or how to re-source commodities due to supply chain challenges, or any of the myriad other issues of today’s business landscape.

The list of challenges facing executives is more daunting than ever. How much resource to put against performing to meet today’s goals vs. transforming for tomorrow. About that transformation – where to focus it, how fast to drive the change, and how to make sure your transformation doesn’t leave your firm in left field.

What makes some firms able to change on a dime, while others are like moving through mud? Why are some firms readily introducing new products, services or processes to leverage a market opportunity or better serve a group of customers, while others struggle to implement what are seemingly trivial changes?

The common point in question is change. How adaptable is an organization to change. Most importantly, what actions should you take to boost the change power of your company?

This inspired our team to develop an Organizational Change Readiness tool as the diagnostic and driver of our A-D-A-P-T™ program.
