Adaptive organisations
Helping organisations make deciding together a habit.
Our long-term work is with organisations that want collective intelligence built into how they govern, so they can make sense of uncertainty and respond to it well.
Machine or ecosystem
The world your organisation works in is complex, uncertain and fragile. It needs to run like an ecosystem.
| Run like a machine | Run like an ecosystem |
|---|---|
| Breaks when one part fails | Adapts when one part fails |
| Judgement sits at the top | Judgement is exercised throughout |
| Insight travels up in reports | Insight travels across, in time to use it |
| Change is a one-off project | Change is continuous |
| People are consulted occasionally | Collective intelligence is part of governance |
What we build with you
Adaptive capacity: the ability to make sense of uncertainty and respond well to it.
- 01See yourselves as an ecosystem of people, not a machine
- 02Create the conditions for people to use their judgement well
- 03Use collective intelligence routinely, as part of governance
- 04Keep adapting as the world keeps changing
How we work
This work happens over years.
It's the work we care about most. We work alongside your leadership and your board over months and years.
Most partnerships start with an event or a single decision. Once an organisation has seen what its people can do together, the next question is usually how to make that the normal way of working.
