Abstract:

Organisational structures and workforces need new forms of adaptation to meet the demands of new technologies and new competitive business models.

Changing technologies, business models and competitive landscapes are today’s normal business challenges. However, few have the ability to adapt fast enough, let alone exploit these changing circumstances because of their traditional cultural approaches to management, measurement and people development. Focusing on a new form of adaptive management with an adaptive workforce is now the new cutting edge in developing a winning business culture that supports the change agenda within your organisation. So how adaptable is your organisation?

A new research driven adaptive framework developed by Stephen Parry, Climetrics© will highlight the core features of adaptive organisations.
