Sherpa Alliance

When you and your team have developed these higher order leadership strengths to master dynamic complexity in the driving seat of your business, you become so much more agile as an organization.  Organizational agility is the ability to deal with rapidly changing circumstances, while out-executing your competition and stake-holder expectations (of customers, employees, suppliers &  shareholders).  It's a three-dimensional challenge of mastering detail complexity and dynamic complexity, just like when we are in the driving seat of our car.  In particular, journey orientation has emerged as a third and primary dimension around which we must reframe our approach to translating strategy and execution into traction.  Your organizational agility depends upon it.

No matter what problems and opportunities are going on in the present or might be around the next corner, you will be able to feel more composed, confident and courageous as a team, with less stress, more balance and better perspective.  That’s a great way to travel and much better than the alternative.

As the saying goes, “when you need a friend, it’s too late to make one”.  Be Making Friends with Organizational Agility now, before it’s too late, before that next problem or opportunity is upon you and you wished you had more organizational agility to navigate through it.  Organizational Agility - Lost in Translation?

Our work will help you make friends with the concepts, models and tools of organizational agility, be losing less in translation and be developing the higher order executive strengths required:

Execution Excellence
“Despite all the talk about execution, hardly anybody knows what it is.  They don’t have the foggiest idea of what it means to execute.  This work is as intellectually challenging as any we know of...”
(Execution, 2002, Larry Bossidy & Ram Charran) + Executive Intelligence, Intuition & Resilience
“Many people tend to get lost or defocused when addressing a complex issue ... or navigating a complex situation...”
(Executive Intelligence, 2005, Justin Menkes). + Path-Finding
“Draw a different frame around the same set of circumstances and new pathways come into view.  Find the right framework and extraordinary accomplishment becomes an everyday experience ... bringing possibility to life.”
(The Art of Possibility, 200X?, Rosamund Stone Zander and Banjamin Zander) = Organizational Agility
“21st Century challenges are testing the design limits of organizations around the world and are exposing the limitations of a management model that has failed to keep pace with the times.  Management is out of date.  Like the combustion engine, it’s a technology that has largely stopped evolving, and that’s not good...”
(The Future of Management, 2007, Gary Hamel)
