Organizational Effectiveness

Develop a fast and adaptive organization capable of achieving its desired outcomes.

From Blocked ❌

Slow decisions due to analysis paralysis and fear of failure.
The organization's structure is an obstacle to success.

People are afraid to speak up and ask for permission before taking action.

To Unblocked ✅

Fast, high-quality, inclusive decisions at every level with clear decision rights.
A dynamic organizational design that is constantly optimized.
Fit-for-purpose meeting rhythms that create a heartbeat of progress.
Psychologically safe teams where people happily take ownership.

How we do it

Start by starting: As soon as possible, we will identify the most pressing obstacles to success together with you and find a place to start by facilitating new work practices to overcome them — inside the existing work. This could include adopting a rhythm of carefully designed meetings, practices for improved decision-making, psychological safety, and cross-functional collaboration.
Measuring impact: After successfully achieving improved effectiveness in an area of the organization, we visualize the positive impact and invite other teams and departments to do the same.
Community of Practice: We grow a community of change agents who carry the change forward and learn and improve their skills together.
Scaling and Embedding: We identify large-scale initiatives that help nudge the organizational culture at scale, which includes developing and communicating principles, playbooks, training, and redesigning organizational structure.
