PURPOSE DRIVEN TRANSFORMATION
As an organisation you operate in a rapidly changing environment: customer behaviour changes, talents up their requirements, the marketplace evolves. And in addition, the entire economy is in transition towards a meaningful economy; where organisations flourish instead of grow, where social and planetary boundaries are safeguarded. For many organisations this requires a transformation towards a purpose-driven organisation. This is not a one-time transformation, as it is more a practice in continuously renewing yourself in order to stay. Read more about this in our vision.
The focus of transformations is too often on the means where it should be on what you are trying to achieve. Like an agile transformation without connection to the strategy, an innovation training without the guts to invest in new directions. At Strategiemakers, we believe that agility is the key to staying close to your purpose and reaching your goals. A new strategy or purpose only makes sense if your organisation is able to adapt to a changing environment.
Our ‘Thrive by Design’ framework enables your organisation to live up to your purpose. For example by fostering innovation you increase the self-learning capacity of your organisation. As such it helps laying the foundation of the transformation that you want to achieve.
9 ELEMENTS
We identify 9 elements that need to be renewed in order to be successful in realising your purpose or strategy. We start small, designing an element, test it in practice, learn from it and then define how to scale up. That is the power of Thrive by Design.
