Participating in an Agility3R InterplayTM Simulation has been described as getting an MBA in a day.

Ready to raise the level of your game? Then you’re ready for the Agility 3R Interplay Simulation," a challenging, fast-paced one-day business simulation that helps you see the bigger picture, make smarter decisions, execute more effectively and better manage the interplay of forces that drive corporate success. Interplay will immerse you in an intense practice field that reflects the real challenges of managing knowledge and resource capital. Teams manage competing companies to create the most successful business possible. To succeed, each team must determine a strategic focus and then skillfully manage all their corporate assets (customers, partners, marketing, human resources, financial and internal processes) in line with that focus. Along the way they must plan and allocate resources, satisfy demanding customers and employees, make decisions under conditions of uncertainty, manage through critical 'Shift Happens' market events, prepare and report financial statements and communicate to the larger market about their company. In the end, you’ll have the proven skills  to take your company’s game to a whole new level.

Our 1/2, full-day and two-day retreats are designed to refocus, re-energize your leadership team and arm them with strategic planning skills that enhance creativity, spark smarter decision-making. And our business simulation uses the “game of business” to free people to think at their best by removing fear from the process. You’ll walk away understanding:

  • How separating brainstorming from decision-making improves strategic planning
  • How in today’s macro environment change must occur more rapidly
  • How improving rapport, buy-in, and listening to learn communications skills can boost employee engagement and personal responsibility
  • Stronger time management and focus skills
  • Clearer leadership and the ability to get things done through others
  • More organized idea generation and thorough planning

Strategy, Leadership and the Soul

Written by Administrator

Book_01_tilted

Strategy, Leadership and the Soul

Strategy, Leadership and the Soul presents a new paradigm for organizations. In building their case, the authors present a unique analysis of the dynamics of organizational evolution since 1850 to the present day, reflecting on how the context of the changing nature of society over time has informed the necessary adjustments in structure and leadership, and in what way these have been vital to the sustainability of those organizations. The current quixotic context for both small and large organizations - the rapidly changing business landscapes, global interconnectedness, technological innovation and the diversity of the needs of customers and employees alike - requires organizations to 'be in a state of permanent transformation if they are to survive', to become transorganizations.

And in order for these transorganizations to survive, a new style of leader is required - a transleader. From their experience as consultants, the authors conclude that transleaders must transform themselves first rather than look to the outside for a solution.
The qualities needed for this leadership style are:-

• the ability to communicate with passion and clarity
• to develop a shared language that can transform the thinking of everyone working in or with the organization
• to inspire self-confidence and knowledge to strengthen teams
• to share power, and give greater control to the workforce to behave like mentors rather than bosses
• to welcome diversity
• to have an exceptional level of self-awareness
• to be able to transcend culture, age, and title as a means to arrive at what is relevant

Aligning the values and beliefs of the transorganisation and the transleader is a key feature of this new paradigm. Transorganizational strategy must be similarly aligned, with an agility and flexibility to allow for an unlimited number of possibilities. Without this, organizations become dysfunctional and will be subject to a very real chance of failure.

The soul of an organization is the intrinsic corporate identity that underlies all that it does, that informs its business practices, its aims and goals, its internal and external relationships and its intangible sense of direction-shared in an aligned way between its employees, its managers, its shareholders and its business partners. It is the extremely present and powerful set of beliefs that make the organization what it is. This is not the same as superficial PR or the 'image' on advertisements, nor is it just brand identity or corporate culture, but the identity that defines and aligns the relationship it has within the various sectors of the organization and in its interface with the global community.

Strategy, Leadership and the Soul provides a new paradigm and a practical guide to the personal and the organizational adaptation needed to meet the challenges of the future.
