Organization

“The question is not whether we are able to change but whether we are changing fast enough.” – Angela Merkel

An organization is the collection of all its leaders and of all its teams. You might have taken brilliant measures to support your leaders and teams in performing today and transforming for tomorrow. Still, separate attention is required to make sure that the organization as a whole performs, develops, and transitions to the future.

Our suite of interventions for the ORGANIZATION accelerate success through developing organizational capabilities and culture.

    ida Leadership Pipeline Assessment is the systematic approach to assess the health of your leadership pipeline to execute both today’s and tomorrow’s strategy. The outputs give you:

    • A full overview of your collective leadership capabilities
    • Gaps and strengths to accelerate your results
    • Ideas for strategic bets leveraging your talent strengths
    • How your organization is benchmarked externally

    Our approach is unique because:

    • It takes current and future requirements into account and references external benchmarks.
    • Through combining individual assessments with organizational analysis, it provides an organizational heatmap, enabling best decisions for hiring, development and deployment, as well as recommendations on how some needs might be addressed by external partnerships.
    • It highlights strengths and prioritizes which gaps to close, including when and how, enabling better allocation of resources.

    While this approach can be implemented at a critical transition point, like an M&A or a major transformation, it can also be integrated in the cycle of people and talent review processes. When embedded and run as a regular process, it provides the basis for real-time succession management.

    ida Organizational Succession & Development Strategy is our methodology to identify and develop your future leaders. We help you define your succession strategy and its execution roadmap.

    Here is the catch though… We believe in real-time succession, rather than succession planning. And we develop leaders for performing better today and for getting ready for tomorrow, simultaneously. So, be prepared to manage succession differently.

    • Together with you, we define organizational capabilities and culture required to execute your “perform” and “ transform” strategies. We translate those to a set of skills your leaders should carry at different levels and in different roles in the organization. We cut through the clutter and define what really matters.
    • We then objectively assess your leaders against those organizational skills required, through analyzing the available data and through targeted assessments. We analyze how the leaders can complement each other to create the organizational skills needed and what they are missing all together which needs to be supplemented from outside.

    • Action requires choices. Hence, we develop a roadmap together with you. What is urgent and important? Which sequence of development accelerates overall progress? What is the best and fastest way of closing experience gaps, changing mindset and evolving organizational culture? We help you to prioritize, make choices and plan development actions that provide the best return on investment.

    Our consulting services can stop there, or we can also support you in executing, tracking progress and adjusting your plans as you go. In addition, we can support you with customized interventions from the menu of  ida Leadership Development Programs.
