Survival is Not Enough
Accelerating disruptions and rising complexities are upending businesses every day. Rapid technological advancements, increasing social complexities and a global pandemic have amplified the importance of sustainable change management.
Change is no longer a single event but a continuous process. Constant, accelerating change is the new normal.
The only way to deal with it is to accept, adapt, grow and evolve with it.
The Cost of Legacy Mindsets
The legacy way of managing change is dead.
Leaders of days past introduced change through transformation projects. They established goals, required plans, scrutinized schedules, and delegated tasks. Team members executed their roles and work progressed in a linear sequence toward the end results. The change process was defined and controlled.
It also left little flexibility to deal with surprises.
In today’s fast evolving environment, expecting there to be an upper limit on surprises can be disastrous. Sure, we can course-correct… but how many times? At what point does “one more course correction” signal that the course itself no longer leads to our destination?
The more we cling to the planned course, the more we waste. We waste time, effort, resources and talent. We burn through money, employee morale and customer satisfaction at equally appalling rates.
Does this sound familiar?
Real change comes from doing things differently. At Kumido, we see disruptions not as threats but as opportunities.
Embrace complexity.
Our approach to the complexity of the modern age doesn’t see a disruption as a one-time event, to be managed through stand-alone “change initiatives.”
Instead we focus on deeper change, where it truly matters: in the perspectives, values, and mindsets that determine how team members in an enterprise will react.
Teams learn to leverage their diversity, collaboration and innate human adaptability. Their performance grows incrementally, sustainably.
They become unstoppable.
Leadership is a verb.
We believe that “leadership” isn’t just a title, it’s something you do. We coach leaders wherever we find them in an organization.
We help shift from an activity-oriented mindset to an outcome-oriented one. From “adopting” a process, to iterating, experimenting, collaborating, to evolve the best approach.
Not just best-practice. Best result.
Outcomes over activities.
We help everyone engage in a shared vision of the outcome and, come what may, everyone can surf the constant changes together.
Stakeholders, leaders, and the boots-on-the-ground see, act, and adapt as one unit.
Navigate uncertainty.
We derive our inspiration from nature.
Just as adaptation in nature is a transformative force, an organization that can sense the need for change and adapt to it is uniquely positioned to outperform those that cannot.
See more clearly.
Foster leadership everywhere.
Let your outcomes light the path.
