It's quite evident
Rigidity impedes responsiveness when faced with change
Organizations that perform effectively under stable business conditions, often find it challenging to adapt to the need for change in the face of emerging customer and market demands. This happens when the organization lacks the flexibility and skill sets needed to work through the challenges brought about by change. The inability to be responsive, negatively impacts customer deliverables and puts the organization at a competitive disadvantage.
The question is what must organizations do to be able to respond effectively to the challenges brought about by uncertainty and change?
Enhance flexibility for change success
Promote collaboration and equip members with needed skills
The best way to prepare the organization to be responsive is to enhance flexibility and equip employees with enhanced skills. These actions enable cohesive communication, cross-level collaboration, timely coordination across boundaries, and the ability and endurance to solve complex challenges, resulting in sustained performance and effective responsiveness in the face of change.
How I can be helpful
Help instill 'skilled flexibility'
From years of experience as an internal consultant in technology and manufacturing organizations, I have learned that attention to three C’s – Clarity, Collaboration, and Capability – contribute the most to strengthening the organizations core necessary to achieve the level of flexibility, coordination, and endurance needed to effectively navigate the challenges associated with change and sustain superior performance. The three C’s are represented as modules in a proprietary Flex-C3 Framework, designed to deliver ‘skilled flexibility’.
Click on the ‘Services’ tab below for more information on the framework.
The Flex-C3 framework is backed with tools, training, and skills, applied to consulting service delivery.
Application of the Flex-C3 Framework
A blended approach delivers results
I bring a blended approach to consulting, drawing from my advanced education and experiences in organizational development, change management, and hands-on skills development, to help organizations implement select aspects of the 3C’s most needed to achieve desired outcomes.
