Organisational Effectiveness

Analysts agree that 2009 is going to be a challenging year for business - even if a full blown recession does not materialise.  Businesses will need to run a tight ship, making sure that everything they do is cost-effective, productive and aligned to a strategy that will see them through a slower economy.  They will need to be alert to developments in the markets and able to act quickly, effectively executing strategies to retain competitive advantage.  This seems like an obvious statement, however, many organistions face the frustration of inertia which can be lethal in a difficult global economy.

Potential Squared interventions in this area are based on the five core pillars of organisational effectivness.  They are:

  • Effective Execution - a tried and tested approach to the development, enablement, alignment and execution of strategy;
  • Execution Capability and Leadership - audit and development of the required leadership mindset and capability for execution;
  • Talent Management - a robust system that identifies and drives a pipeline of future high performing leaders;
  • Mission Ownership - a pragmatic approach that allows teams to harness their collective intellect, align their goals and foster personal accountability and innovation;
  • Organisational Change Capability and Readiness - developing a change readiness in your people and culture that supports the execution of change.

Potential Squared help organisations in all of the above areas at functional (marketing, finance or sales) and divisional levels, or as a company-wide initiative.
