The advisory work I do with organisations is grounded in the research and exploration of The Intelligent Organisation, a think tank examining how organisations must evolve to survive and thrive amidst constant disruption. This page focuses on how that thinking is applied in practice.

​

This work concentrates on the underlying design of the organisation, particularly how it senses, decides and acts in an increasingly disruptive world. The aim is not optimisation for efficiency, but adaptiveness under increasing uncertainty.

​

Adaptiveness requires innovation to be part of the organisational fabric. Such innovation cannot be constrained to a department and it requires the organisation to see cognition, both natural and artificial, as a critical asset.

​

The work requires leaders to:

• Make sense of how the world is changing

• Understand the associated operating model implications

• Redesign the organisation accordingly without threatening existing cashflows. 

​

This is not a transformation programme, leadership coaching or a technology initiative. It is focused on redesigning how the organisation functions as a system in a disruptive environment.

​

I can support you on this journey.
