In the ever-evolving landscape of businesses, achieving organizational performance requires more than just a singular approach. At STRAAD, our differentiation is rooted in taking a systems approach to our integrated services offering. We know that change isn’t linear and that leaders, teams and organizations need a level of sophistication to navigate complex challenges and uncertain waters. STRAAD’s systems approach forms the bedrock of our journey toward discovering, diagnosing, designing, delivering and debriefing impactful solutions for organizational performance. Our core philosophy revolves around enabling our clients to not only navigate challenges but also seize opportunities, resulting in remarkable growth.
STRAAD’s Organizational Performance Diagnostic Tool
The Organizational Performance Diagnostic Tool is a system-based assessment intended to help future-focused leaders understand their system and drive strategic change.
Central to the Organizational Performance Diagnostic Tool is Leadership, which we believe is critical to driving systemic change. The other levers: Purpose, Strategy, Technology, Structure, Culture, Metrics & Learning, and Decision Making & Ways of Working are fundamental to high-performing systems.
Future-Focused Leadership
Leadership is the art of inspiring, guiding, and influencing individuals or groups towards a shared vision or goal, while fostering growth, collaboration, and a positive impact on the collective journey. It involves embodying qualities of integrity, empathy, decisiveness, and adaptability, and it requires a balance of strategic thinking and effective communication to navigate challenges and cultivate success.
Strategic Change
Strategic change is difficult and complex. Often it creates a ‘worse before better’ outcome in the short term, and takes commitment, consistency, and time. Strategic change can’t happen overnight, and it is beyond one-leader or leadership team; it is about changing the system of an organization.
High-Performance Systems
High-Performance Systems are the integrated and optimized processes, technologies, and strategies within an organization. These systems are meticulously designed and continuously improved to align with the organization’s goals and values. As a result, they enhance efficiency, effectiveness, and outcomes, leading to streamlined operations, reduced waste, and elevated performance levels.
This systems-based approach empowers the leaders we collaborate with to propel and lead change within their organization, guaranteeing success and enduring outcomes.
At STRAAD, we strive to understand and influence entire systems. Our deep understanding and expertise of an organization’s system coupled with our integrated service offering means that we continue to ready our clients to navigate and start their strategic change journey and unlock organizational performance.
The following slides outline each phase of our 5D approach – what it is, how we do it, and the results. We take a systemic view of an organization and from the moment we are engaged with a leader, team, function or organization, we apply our 5D model.
We take a data-based systems approach to explore, understand, and quantify the current landscape to assess the conditions for strategic change. This involves engaging with leaders and stakeholders, ensuring that their voices are heard as the change process commences, and gaining a comprehensive understanding of the system.
We identify the underlying patterns, conditions and insights that will unlock the path forward. Utilizing the discovery data, we conduct an assessment of the organization’s preparedness for change and determine how the organizational levers can be enhanced to facilitate the achievement of the required outcomes.
We partner with leaders to design and build the necessary interventions, activities and metrics, including strategy development & implementation, leadership enablement and team effectiveness, organizational design & ways of working, culture design & alignment, and strategic change management, that enable the path forward.
We employ a range of modalities to cater to the distinctiveness of the changes—focusing on how leaders learn, think, and optimize their performance to ensure a continuous enhancement of capabilities throughout the engagement. We establish data-driven feedback channels, enabling us to make necessary adjustments and measure results over time.
We reflect and look back on the data and learnings to chart the course for the future, ensuring leaders are set up for sustained adoption, and have continued access to innovative and leading-edge approaches. Internally, we collect the necessary artifacts for ongoing learning and storytelling.
