Today's high-performing professionals, managers, and leaders are not learning the skills they need in Universities and Colleges.
We hear the results of this skills gap all the time from our clients as they struggle to deal with complex environments. Below are a few pain points and how Structured Systems Thinking benefits can help address them.
Our organization is so complex – some days I feel like no one actually understands what’s going on.
Interpreting and Navigating Complexity
We're drowning in data but have very insights to show for it.
Making Sense of Data
We are not good at solving complex problems and really need a better way to approach it.
Interpreting & Navigating Complexity
I want to improve the problem solving of our leaders and staff so they think more creatively and more holistically
Convergent Thinking & Decision Making
We keep buying new technology applications but I don't feel our performance is improving or the tools are being used.
Diagnosing Opportunities
We make a change in one part of the organization, and something breaks in another part. How are those connected and what's the relationship?
Diagnosing Opportunities
Our process improvement efforts are asked to “boil the ocean," how can we break these down into manageable parts?
Operational Effectiveness & Efficiency
We are so focused on stovepipes and firefighting daily tasks we’re missing the big picture.
Seeing the Big Picture
After several merges and acquisitions we're struggling to integrate all the operations.
Operational Effectiveness & Efficiency.
We want to impact or influence multiple factors at the same time.
Seeing the Big Picture
We spend most of our data science & analytics effort what happened or why it happened; but not enough on "what should we do?"
Making Sense of Data
Our strategy feels lost in minutiae, checklists, and pages of measurements.
Strategy Development
We have few tools for collaborative learning integrating both quant and qual insights.
Convergent Thinking & Decision Making
We need better explanations for our results.
Diagnosing Opportunities
Managers "shoot from the hip" even though no one problem ever resides in a single area.
Convergent Thinking & Decision Making
I don’t feel like we’re getting true break-through thinking about the future.
Strategy Development
We have dozens of key performance but no clue how they relate to one another or drive performance.
Making Sense of Data
We have Lean Six Sigma, Agile, Analytics - how do we get them to all work together and talk to one another?
Operational Effectiveness & Efficiency
We're constantly being disrupted by regional, national, and global events. How can we quickly understand changes and their impact on us?
Interpreting & Navigating Complexity
Big data analysis is driving us ever more into the weeds; we need to reclaim a big picture view and put all this data in context.
Making Sense of Data
We need a better way to test strategy. Pilots are too expensive and time consuming.
