Helping organisations adapt as disruption becomes the norm 

 

I work with leaders and their teams to redesign how their organisations sense, decide, and act in an increasingly disruptive world.​​

​

Most organisations are struggling not because of a lack of talent or technology, but because their underlying design no longer fits the environment they’re operating in.

​

I help organisations rethink leadership, cognition and innovation so they can adapt in real-time, without relying on heroic leaders or stockpiling AI. Organisational intelligence is how organisations sense, decide, and act in the moment. It is not a department, but part of the organisational fabric.
 

My work is grounded in the ongoing research and exploration of The Intelligent Organisation, a think tank examining how organisations must evolve to survive and thrive amidst constant disruption.
 

• IntelligentOrganisation.org is where the ideas are explored.

• AdeMcCormack.com is where those ideas are applied.

​

I support organisations through:

​

• Keynotes that challenge outdated assumptions about leadership and organisation design

• Workshops that help teams design mechanisms for operating in increasingly uncertain conditions

• Advisory work focused on redesigning organisations for adaptiveness, not stability.

​

This is not leadership development in the traditional sense. It’s organisational engineering for an unpredictable world.

​​

I work with senior executives, HR and digital leaders who recognise that:

​​

• Their operating model is no longer fit for purpose

• Complexity has outpaced their governance and decision structures

• Incremental change is no longer enough

• The strategic and operational assumptions of the industrial era no longer hold true.

​​

If you’re interested in the thinking, explore the research at IntelligentOrganisation.org.

​

If you’re ready to apply it, we should talk.
