Organisational Miseries
Common Pain Points
Misery is unnecessary company.
Can You Feel Some of These Organisational Pain Points Holding You Down?
Structures
We struggle to operate as a strategically formed and cohesive team.
Vision
Strategic misalignment across priorities, teams, roles, and overarching strategy remains a persistent source of frustration.
Power
Unhappiness has taken root in our culture.
Communication
Our digital strategy is flimsy and out of sync with our operating intentions.
Structures
Our meeting game is painfully lo-fi.
Brand
What we say externally doesn’t match how things feel internally.
Structures
Teaming feels more akin to a chaotic jam session than a well-choreographed dance.
Structures
Our adaptive skills and applied tooling are antiquated.
Vision
Rigorously challenging our own habitual thinking isn’t systemically baked in.
Culture
No cohesive operating model connects and directs our leadership ethos and strategies.
Leadership
Conditioned dependence, not agency, is reinforced by our org chart.
Power
Low internal trust has created a suspicion-based communication system.
Leadership
In the constancy of change, leadership self-esteem swings too much.
Structures
I feel daunted carving out adequate operating system changes by myself.
Culture
The many languages spoken by our multi-generation culture inspire a lack of coherence.
Vision
We indulge our own complexity at the expense of delivering outcomes.
Structures
A transactional mindset creeps in amidst the hustle, sacrificing strategic depth."
Culture
Complaining can outweigh meaningful action.
Leadership
Explaining drains precious time.
Structures
Our workflow prioritisation practices lack a strategy.
Vision
Our time wastes are financially unsustainable.
Structures
Complaints that nobody knows the strategy come from all directions (even when we believe we have a strategy.)
Vision
Our structures and systems lack a cohered, strategic design intent.
Brand
Our recruiting is strong; our retention comparatively weak.
Structures
The humans and the robot are not operating in partnership.
Communication
Our origin story has a 200-lb. gorilla standing on her chest.
Power
Changes ahead feel uncertain, fast, and lacking our preparedness.
Vision
We don’t know what we don’t know. We cover by thinking we know.
You are in good company. Simply time to get to work. x
AI will certainly enable a quantum leap forward and rational thinking needs to situate technology flows wisely, understanding they don't come into the collective consciousness to replace humans but to expand human capacity and elevate value add.
Humans are still and will need to be for a long while the ones to create, collaborate, prioritise, and drive on vision, strategy, and purposefulness.
Judgment, intuition, and emotion are skills and intelligences complexity asks humans to apply to data and contexts for innovations forward.
The change makers understand that transforming themselves while consciously building forward-looking teams and businesses is tangible, applied, and evolutionary work to build alternative futures in this next wave technology landscape.
Systems change themselves by doing the work of change, not by listening to speeches, participating in workshops or trainings, nor by simply reading about strategy and change.
Hard work is good work. You know you are doing the good work because it will feel hard before it becomes so obviously the right way.
