ORGANIC agility is an evolutionary approach to organisational agility and resilience that has been developed by working with hundreds of companies around the world. The three pillars of ORGANIC agility are:
- A capability-based leadership model that supports leadership growth as a capability, rather than only seeing it as a personal responsibility of Leaders. This is an important distinction, because growing the capability of leadership within an organisation requires building it into the organisational structure and culture.
- A set of tools, both analogue and digital, to help companies attain and improve their organizational resilience.
- A scaffolding for organizations to evolve to continuously improve through five key principles.
Those 5 principles are:
Increase Cultural Awareness and Coherence: Understand your organizational culture and how to create coherence based on shared principles without losing diversity
Situational Decision Making: Create a common and transparent framework for decision-making processes that adapts to each specific context
Focus on Value Creation: Find out what your customers actually need and how to get it to them
Validating Changes in Small Increments: Acknowledge your strengths and base your strategy on validated experiments to safely move towards your goals
Optimize Flow: Remove the costs of excessive coordination by distributing control
