Organizational Adaptability in a Complex World (webinar)

Register below to watch our recorded Learning Lounge webinar from June 2015: “Organizational Adaptability in a Complex World.” This webinar consisted of a conversation with Jeff Martindale and John Previtera from the McChrystal Group about improving communications and decision-making flows within any organization.

Complexity necessitates a new operating model – one that allows organizations to understand the interdependencies affecting the market and to operate with the speed and effectiveness to lead it. Jeff and John how their experience and research demonstrates that adaptive organizations must excel in four capabilities:

• Shared Consciousness – An emergent intelligence that is created by a holistic understanding of the operating environment and a high level of internal connectivity
• Empowered Execution – The decentralization of decision-making to the lowest appropriate level
• Trust – Faith in the intent and competence of one’s colleagues
• Common Purpose – The way a group of free agents is transformed into a cohesive, orderly and aligned team around a common set of objectives
