What is an adaptable organisation?
An adaptable organisation is one that is able to respond to internal and external influences. It’s an organisation with an adaptable strategy as well as an adaptable execution. One that is organised around customer value, and that learns through short-cycle management and continuous improvement. An organisation that constantly responds to the opportunities that digitalisation, new technology and the availability of ever-increasing amounts of data offer.
Why is adaptability important?
Think about the development of new products and services that meet the world’s needs today and tomorrow. Think about sustainable earning models that go further than mere shareholder value. And think about new ways of working that make a positive contribution to achieving ESG goals. These are all examples of why adaptable organisations are relevant to their customers, competitive within their market, and future-proof.
But how can you transform into an adaptable organisation now?
Transformation isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ approach
Transforming into an adaptable organisation is a complex process involving many variables. In other words, there’s no ‘one size fits all’ approach. At House of Performance, we see the steps outlined above as a good framework, but we always look at the context. For instance, how high is the urgency to become adaptable? Which exact part of your organisation needs to do so? Do certain parts of your business benefit more from operational excellence? What are your management issues? What role does your organisational culture play? In other words, we look at what your organisation needs, work with you to develop an approach that fits in with this, and gradually make adjustments where necessary.
Like to transform into a flexible organisation?
Is your ability to achieve your annual plan being hampered by too many dependent factors? Are there too many conflicting interests within your organisation between different parts of the business? Is there insufficient insight into what everyone within your organisation is doing? Are there too many requests coming from the business side, and is the ICT backlog overflowing? Or are you falling further and further behind your competitors? If so, increasing your adaptability can contribute to solving these problems. To find out more, just get in touch!
