Adaptive Talent’s focus is helping companies achieve great results and ongoing adaptability, which as the 2008 financial crisis and 2020’s pandemic has shown us is exceptionally hard let alone keeping up with advancements in technology and other disruptive forces. Your culture and your people enable all differentiated and sustained competitive offerings just as they’ll help you adapt over time with proper focus, resources, and time. It’s not enough to just execute but to also innovate in a focused way; they’re two sides of the same coin. We’ve written about the benefits of creating an organizational framework (ours is called the Adaptive Flow Model) and our consultants can help you and your team create a version that works for your team. Once people can make the tacit “secret sauce” more explicit, and see how different parts of the company can support it, then your culture and organizational development efforts can be quite focused. As you develop your leaders’ capacity and/or hire more capable leaders you’ll see more suggestions and actions coming from all parts of the business that create greater customer happiness, responsiveness, and differentiation in the market.
