Here’s How Change Agility Can Help Your Organisation Thrive in a VUCA World

Change agility. Global consultants define it as the “ability to identify and seize opportunities in the environment faster than competitors”.

The Economist defines it as “the ability to transform information into ideas that address market needs”.

At Kaleidoskope, we agree with all that and more. Most critically, we believe that people are the essence of the organisation. Change agility in an organisation needs to start with the people and its leaders proactively anticipating changes, addressing the challenges as they arise, adapting and thriving in a fast-changing environment.

It is the ability of its leaders to have a great idea, turn it into a project, implement it and profitably generate returns on their investment.

Most importantly, the perspective to change is proactive and planned, and not reactive and unplanned.

As the world and its markets continue to demand greater agility in a landscape defined by the characteristics of Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity, agile change leaders are critical to organisations. Our leaders’ ability to anticipate and change gears quickly, steering competently and decisively in different directions defines our success.

That’s easier said than done. Most change agility programmes are heavy on academic concepts but light on practical application.

Our Change Agility in a VUCA World leadership programme helps participants anticipate, embrace and deal with change in very practical ways and against the backdrop of global best practices.

It is designed to help our leaders unpack the mindset behind change agility, explore the risks and impact of staying status quo, reflect on what is required of them in their roles as change leaders and equip them with tools, tips, guidelines to navigate through change swiftly. Participants are encouraged to bring in real change initiatives at their workplace, reflecting and learning from their peers’ experiences and insights.

As always, our workshops can be customised and contextualised to our clients’ specific requirements and organisational challenges.

Help Your Leaders Tell a Powerful Story

Help Your Leaders Tell a Powerful Story

There’s no way around it.
 
Setting team goals is a pointless exercise until you have measured your baselines or benchmarks, considered what you want to, or need to achieve and then communicate and get the commitment of your team.
 
And to accomplish this, you will need DATA.
 
In our business landscape today of constant flux and rapid transformation, no organisation can survive without data.  But the avalanche of data can be daunting and pretty useless if it isn’t distilled for value, begging the question:  “What is this data good for?”

Data visualisation comes in here to help your leaders visually, accurately and impactfully arrange the value of metrics and numbers through charts, tables, graphs and most importantly, to provide context, identify and highlight key issues.  So that you get your message across clearly and effectively.

Our data visualisation workshop focuses on 4 key competencies:

1. Data representation:  the most effective formats for accurately representing data
2. Visual clarity:  identify and highlight information in your visuals
3. Data interpretation:  draw accurate inferences and conclusions from data available
4. Insight building:  present data that helps your audience arrive at the right insights 

And then that makes data a little less dry.

Fuse this approach with Business Storytelling, and now you have a synergistic approach to tell a very powerful story.

Your data is now a story.

Human beings have been telling stories for a very long time.  We think in stories, we remember in stories and we ALWAYS remember a good story.  And here at Kaleidoskope, we’ve always believed that leaders should be able to tell good stories!

So by now, your data is a compelling narrative and you are influencing, inspiring and evangelising your team into action, driving everyone in the right direction to desired outcomes.

Of course this is no small feat and it does sound like a tall order.

But we can help.  And we can do this by working in close partnership with you to tailor, customise, craft learning and development solutions that best meet your needs.
