MenuCloseHelping organisations and funds of organisations develop sustainable growth by mobilising their number one asset – people.
I take Interim Executive (CTO and CoS) / Non-Executive Director / Senior Advisor and Operating Partner roles for organisations and PE funds who are looking to drive significant value creation across their business/portfolio companies.
But few understand what it truly means and what it entails.
As a result, 7 in 10 business transformations fail.
Where does it all go wrong?
Too often leaders make a decision, give directions and expect everything to magically fall into place.
They ask people to invest extra time and effort without incentivising them with a clear purpose, pathway and support.
This top down, siloed approach lacks the structure, consistency and buy in to ever make a sustainable lasting impact.
People need, want and expect more, and most importantly want to be involved
They want you to inspire them. They want you to see them. They want to feel a part of something meaningful.
By focussing on four pillars or ‘keys’ – PURPOSE, PEOPLE, PERFORMANCE and PASSION – my framework ensures the transformation journey has a clear direction, comprehensive support and the kind of positive energy that inspires accountability and action.
This framework has been finetuned over 15 years in the world of transformation with over 65 transformation, and is infused with lessons learned during my personal transformation journey.
Maximise organisation buy-in through leadership clearly articulating your vision and incentivising employees to achieve it. Through consistent, honest and inspiring communication, get people excited about the future and the role they can play in creating it.
Invest in your team’s professional and personal growth so they feel valued, heard and respected. Embed common ways of working, build the skills needed to transform, aid collaboration and boost the cycle of learning and outcomes.
Speed up the metabolism of your organisation by setting clear expectations, making quick (and good) decisions and building a culture of accountability. When roadblocks appear, have a clear process (and cadence) to overcome them and maintain your high performance rhythm.
Inspire your team to move from a fixed to a growth mindset by reflecting on the past and taking the learnings into the future. Challenge previously held organisational norms and understand how they can be limited. Change can be daunting and complex but a clear business identity and collective passion can and will set your transformation apart.
