Ade McCormack helps leaders develop organisations that are akin to real-time, intelligent living systems. Organisational Intelligence Design is an emerging discipline that focuses on organisational viability in what is an increasingly unknowable world. Adapt to disruption 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 I support organisations through: Keynotes that challenge outdated assumptions about leadership and organisation design Workshops that help teams design mechanisms for operating in increasingly uncertain conditions Advisory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 .
