Post Meeting Notes - The Agile Dashboard
On 24th July CRF and PARC members gathered for The Agile Dashboard: Designing Agility Into Your Company. “If the keyword for the 20th century was ‘speed’, the keyword for the 21st century is ‘agility’.” So said Professor Joe Perfetti, our speaker for this session. That was before the coronavirus outbreak re-wrote the rules and re-ordered the business world.
His statement is now more apposite than ever. Entire sectors have been devastated. Business leaders are now surveying the world after the lockdown with no idea of what business-as-usual will look like or even whether the very idea has now become outdated. Of one thing we can be sure, though, businesses will have to adapt and change fast.

The Agile Dashboard: Speed, Interaction and Pivot
Measuring Organisational Agility: Speed, Interaction Time and Pivot
Agility is about time.
Time is the definitive shift in recent decades. We are now experiencing exponential rather than linear rates of change, and we are mostly ill-prepared because there is so much uncertainty.
Joe explained that increased uncertainty is creating decision chaos – the world has moved from complicated (problems were ultimately solvable – a strategy could be plotted, like chess) to complex (like poker, we now have to make a decision before we see the next card), and many organisations and their leaders are paralysed by this uncertainty and the risk it entails. Paralysis leads to waiting to move, but this is the worst thing an organisation can do in a complex world. Instead, organisations need to get information, decide fast and execute.

IMD Business School - Unlocking Agility through Purpose and Impact
Agile organisations are both stable and dynamic. Purpose brings stability, a critical attribute to flexibility. Purpose enables company-wide capability to pivot away from static siloed business models into new sources of value. Currently, transformation has become the status quo. From digital, to customer-centric or sustainable business models, change is the order of the day. Agile businesses react quickly when challenged and can transform and adapt. Purpose instils leadership clarity and material strategic priorities that drive business to act.

RHR International- The Greatest Leadership challenge
The Greatest Leadership Challenge - Impacts on how we assess and develop talent
Finding those critical few leaders who can set the course for the future and galvanise an organisation to deliver is the single greatest leadership challenge facing businesses today.
There is not one organisation that isn’t feeling the pressure from growing market complexity, technological disruption, and an evolving workforce. It is obvious that having the right leadership is critical if organisations are to successfully weather the storm, but what is the real problem that we are trying to solve? Are we defining the problem correctly and then using the right mechanisms to find the answer?
