There is a persistent gap between aspirations and reality
There is a growing sense of disequilibrium, or even a sense of crisis, around the status quo
It is difficult to define the business challenge accurately (with the definitions changing depending on who you ask)
There are no known solutions... and there aren't any "quick fixes"
Tension exists among the key stakeholders, particularly those outside of the business, over performance
Responses within the current repertoire of interventions are inadequate
It’s a struggle to meet financial targets; meanwhile the organization knows that they could be exceeded
Building agile, innovative and adaptive organizations
Building agile, innovative and adaptive organizations
In his book, The Inner Game of Work, W. Timothy Gallwey offers a simple hypothesis: If you want to increase performance, you need to increase awareness of what is possible then identify, and reduce, the obstacles to that potential. Using p for "performance", P for "potential" and I for "interference" this would be expressed as:
This sounds straightforward enough. But in the context of organizational performance and improvement, much of the focus (by managers, leaders and external consultants) is on highlighting underwhelming performance without paying much attention to the possibility that this lower-than-desired performance may be due to a lack of awareness of potential or of people's sense of agency to reduce impediments and interference.
What if you could realize the full potential of your organisation?
What if your people could become deeply engaged in meeting the adaptive challenges?
What if they could build the confidence and capability to solve these, and other challenges, into the future?
