AGLX

Last week Steven McCrone had the opportunity to share a high level introduction to Adaptive Strategy in this webinar facilitated by BoardPro where we explored how this innovative approach is transforming organisations into more responsive, resilient entities in today's fast-changing environment. We were fortunate to have Tracey Cross, governance specialist and AGLX client, Paula Steed, General Manager Strategy & Shared Services at the Guardians of NZ Superannuation, join us. Paula shared her invaluable insights into the process of co-creating an adaptive strategy that now influences decision-making across all levels of the organisation. We had a lot of ground to cover in the webinar, and some attendees would have liked to have had more time to further explore specific examples. If you’re curious about the practical applications of Adaptive Strategy and how this approach could work within your organisation, please contact us directly, we’d love to have a more in-depth conversation.

Here is the webinar on #OODALoop and #AdaptiveStrategy hosted by Brian "Ponch" Rivera, Steven McCrone and Doug Maarschalk in case you missed it last week. Key Takeaways for Leaders - Shift away from prediction and control: Traditional strategy methods are built on the idea that the future is predictable. In a world of uncertainty, this is no longer true. Leaders must embrace strategies that allow for flexibility and adaptability. - Harness the power of flow: High-performing teams operate in flow, where teamwork becomes second nature. Leaders should focus on building these implicit skills within their teams to increase efficiency and adaptability. - Experiment and learn: Rather than sticking to a fixed plan, adaptive strategy encourages continuous learning through action. Small experiments lead to big insights, allowing organisations to stay ahead in a constantly changing landscape. - Embrace a culture of exploration: Adaptive organisations are not afraid to try new things, even if they don’t always succeed. The key is to learn from every action, through effective team practices and feedback loops. https://lnkd.in/g32t-PGn

If you are at the Electricity Engineers' Association of New Zealand conference and want to know the latest thinking in strategy, risk and innovation. Give Doug Maarschalk a shout.

Join us on September 13th for the OODA Loop & Adaptive Strategy webinar facilitated by Brian "Ponch" Rivera, Steven McCrone, and Doug Maarschalk. We introduce the OODA Loop — Colonel John Boyd's framework for navigating complexity and uncertainty. This is a must watch for any organization aiming to stay ahead of the curve by responding rapidly and effectively to change.  We’ll also discuss the partnership between AGLX Asia Pacific and AGLX North America and how it strengthens our ability to deliver innovative, resilient strategies.

Think Beyond the Bug. JP Castlin and myself have looked at why the reflex action taken by customers and CrowdStrike feels like problem solving but is really only masking the underlying systemic issues faced by many organizations. We offer an alternative approach through building adaptive capacity.

"I think the more immediate the feedback, the more beneficial it could be.” What was the plan? What happened? NFL teams are improving their players, coaches, and team OODA loops (fractals) by using technology to close the gap between What Happened and Future Performance. This shorter feedback loop, made possible with the aid of on the field video screens, allows players to compare what they experienced with a playback of what the cameras caught. Looking back at what happened and comparing that experience with what was planned leads to better situational awareness. Make no mistake, this is 100% about setting the conditions for a state of flow. This is 100% OODA. As Actions (Act) lead to an unfolding reality with the outside environment, reconstruction of what happened depends on the perspectives of those who took the action and those who observed. Technology can provide insights (New Information) for both. Warning. Don’t rely on attitudes and beliefs, and please stay away from retrospective games. Within the OODA loop, the Plan, Policy, COA, Counterfactual and in this case, the PLAY, is represented by the internal pathway that moves from Act to Observe. Find an image of the Real OODA Loop. Notice that there are in fact two pathways that stem from Act back to Observe. One is internal to the system and the other is external. Internal: Play External: Unfolding Reality In complex environments, it is an imperative to learn how to separate outcomes (Unfolding Reality…) with decisions (Called Play). Why? The external environment has a vote. Or as Mike Tyson put it, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” As technology becomes more prevalent in sports, players and coaches who employ effective debrief approaches more frequently will develop higher quality OODA loops than their opponents. The future of Peak Performance (Flow) begins with mastering the OODA loop. There is No Way Out! National Football League (NFL) #OODA #Flow is

Struggling to prioritize? Prioritization creates friction and fighting? Continuously re-prioritizing? Its time to think differently about prioritization. The AGLX Prioritization process creates unity and clarity even in challenging economic conditions. Explainer video here: https://lnkd.in/gVNkTaTs Case study here: https://lnkd.in/gwmhsRBV
