Overview
To thrive and not just survive in the 21st century world, organisations of every kind must be ambidextrous! What does that mean in practice?
Every day leaders and teams must make a choice, a choice to be better by building their current capabilities and skills, and refining their systems and ways of working.
At the same time, they must also be creating the space and mindset for the future.
We call this being ambidextrous, being highly focused on delivering today’s outcomes, and being future-fit and ready for the challenges of tomorrow.
During this workshop, we will apply the ambidextrous organisation model of thinking, to identify how we get our organisations to move beyond business as usual.
An expert Industry panel will also share powerful real time case studies that provide insights into how the workshop tools and processes can drive significant structural change and transformation in government agencies, in large traditional businesses, and also in the nimble start up space. The Panel’s expertise is local, national and global!
Evolve with QUTeX
Professionals who develop their leadership skills with QUTeX develop real-world capabilities today, that they can bring to their workplace challenges tomorrow.
During this workshop, we apply the ambidextrous organisation model of thinking.
Ambidexterity is the ability of senior leaders to simultaneously manage the existing core businesses - maintaining stability, ensuring that products and services are reliable and consistent in quality, and overseeing incremental improvement - and to pursue new opportunities, specifically, nurturing experimentation and discontinuous change through the innovation streams.
This is a powerful way to be enabling change, as it recognises the ‘now’ and helps us to be better at current goals, and it also puts in place the culture and people capabilities to thrive in the future, particularly as we accelerate towards digital. The future of the digital enterprise is characterised by the ability to optimise and leverage existing digital assets, while at the same time exploiting new technologies in the pursuit of innovative value creation.
Who should participate?
This one-day workshop has been designed for leaders and managers who are tasked with making significant strategic, operational and cultural changes in their teams.
This workshop is also highly valuable to those who need to enact and deliver the transformation projects in their teams, departments and the broader organisational environment.
