Description

The training addresses the organizational problems of:● Lack of Transparency and Alignment: Many organizations struggle with misaligned initiatives, capabilities, and skill sets. This leads to inefficient resource allocation, missed opportunities, and an inability to adapt to new information or changing priorities.● Inflexible Organizational Structures: Traditional, static organizational structures  - and even many agile structures - often impede flexibility and hinder the smooth creation of value. Silos, departmental handoffs, and rigid hierarchies create bottlenecks, slow down decision-making, and limit the ability quickly to respond to change.● Inefficient Collaboration: Many organizations lack the mechanisms to enable effective collaboration between teams; especially when dealing with changing, complex, cross-functional initiatives. Inappropriate collaboration methods, unclear roles and responsibilities, and a lack of trust can lead to frustration, wasted time, and suboptimal outcomes.● Resistance to Change: Dynamic reorganization can create anxiety and insecurity among employees, leading to resistance to change. Without a sense of stability and belonging, individuals and teams are less likely to embrace flexible and adaptive organizational practices.The training demonstrates an integrated, incremental and practical approach to addressing these issues by focusing on alignment, flexible organization and adaptive collaboration practices while ensuring that the psychological need for stability - even in a highly dynamic environment - is also adressed.
