How to make organisations more adaptable

How to make organisations more adaptable: ways to enable HR to become true catalyst for proactive change.

Extract from Management Innovation eXchange Communication:

Today, the most important question for any organization is this: are we changing as fast as the world around us? For most organizations, the answer is no. And no wonder—our organizations were never built to be adaptable. Change tends to come in two varieties: the trivial or the traumatic. It’s time to change the way we change.

We believe HR can play a hugely positive role in helping companies to become adaptable at their core. HR is already a partner to business in many change management efforts, but HR’s impact would be many times greater if it played a lead role in eliminating the barriers to adaptability and in building new capabilities that facilitate proactive change.

To this end, we’ve teamed up with our friends at CIPD, the world’s largest chartered HR and development professional body with over 135,000 members around the world, to launch the Hacking HR to Build an Adaptability Advantage management hackathon. Over the next few months, we’ll be working with hundreds of progressive HR and business leaders to identify, develop, and eventually implement new ideas for making proactive change a reality in our organizations.
