Adapting Organisations
Why are we different?
Advanced Dynamics uses a variety of approaches, primarily based on the principles of Systems Leadership and Requisite Organisation, to help leaders understand how shape their organisation and its culture, using the tools of leadership (systems, symbols and behaviour) in order to achieve its purpose. This Includes helping clients to:
- understand and shape their work culture
- review their organisational structure
- set up clearly demarcated levels of authority and accountability
- clearly understand the complexity of work required at different levels of an organisation and structure it accordingly
- match capabilities of staff to the right roles
- train their managers to think clearly about the work of their roles
- set appropriate boundaries and role relationships to allow for sufficient discretion
Through these and similar processes our clients have achieved greatly increased effectiveness as well as improving the quality of work life of their employees.
What problems do we solve?
The fundamental role of the leader of an organisation is to ensure it succeeds in realising its purpose, not just its immediate objectives. The organisation has to be sustainable over time and adapt to its changing context. A sustainably successful organisation needs:
- a culture that is appropriate to the challenges the organisation faces, and consistent with the core values of the individuals in it; and,
- is soundly structured, with the right people doing the right work at every level.
In our work with clients it is common to find that role ambiguity, role conflict, and confusion between roles are causing stress, anxiety and ineffectiveness. Moreover, we see organisations that lack the cultural cohesion or conditions to achieve success.
