Adaptive
Organisations
for Business
Leaders

The ability to adapt becomes a necessity for the current business landscape. In the past, business leaders used small and nimble agile delivery teams to achieve specific strategic outcomes rapidly - but replicating this success at scale becomes incredibly difficult. Adaptive Organisations for Business Leaders addresses this issue.

We think of adaptability as more than just agile or delivery tools. It’s the organisation’s ability to align around a common vision, execute against that vision effectively, and renew itself through innovation and creative thinking.

Overview

Discover how to build up new capabilities, develop better ways of working to deliver on a strategy and redefine what leadership means in the context of leading an adaptive organisation.

Key Learning Outcomes

In this 1-day workshop, we will

Examine what an adaptive organisation looks like and how to get there.
Explore how to design a system of work that allows a company to rapidly adapt to a changing environment.
Evaluate the mindset, culture and leadership required to build adaptability into your organisation
Assess how people and their interactions bring this to life
Review how different organisations have approached this challenge based on our hands-on experience.

Psychological Safety
in the Workplace

Psychological safety is one of the most important concepts of a modern workplace. It means everyone has the confidence to share ideas, feedback, questions, concerns, and mistakes, for the betterment of themselves, the team, and the organisation.

Indeed it has become so important that many social scientists now believe that psychological safety is one of the basic needs of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and a prerequisite for people to be at their best in all aspects of life.

Overview

There has been a lot of talk on why psychological safety is important, however there hasn't been much hands-on help for organisations wanting to improve it. Until now.

When: Tuesday 21st November, 2023 9am - 5pm

Where: Radically, 3 Lorne Street, Auckland

During this hands-on, one-day workshop, you will:

Understand what psychological safety is and the impact it plays in creating a more innovative, adaptive organisation
Discover how rewarded and punished vulnerability create different outcomes.

What other people said

Insightful and engaging. A great balance of depth and breadth - just what I need in my leadership role. Astrid has a facilitative, engaging style.

The workshop was excellent and extremely well delivered. Additional time was also spent allowing people to share examples of how they have applied these concepts which really helped bring it to life.
