Agility Assessment

Agility Assessment

Before designing and implementing change it is important to have a clear picture of your current state of agility and the necessity to be agile. For this we have developed a scan. The simplest form consists of around 40 questions as an apetizer. Soon we will have this scan online. We strongly recommend not only to fill out the questionnaire, but to do this with more relevant people in your organisation and start with a dialogue on it. Of course we can facilitate this dialogue. A more in depth application of the scan is to have a series of interviews by ICG Rijnconsult consultants followed by a workshop for key people in the organisation to get an enriched picture. As a result we provide you a thorough overview of the current state and pinpoint where and how to start your transformation. Please contact us if you want to receive the scan for your own use or want to discuss with one of our consultants about the application.

Asssessing the need for agility from the dynamics in our environment

Before diving into becoming agile, first question should be how agile you actually need to be. This needs an assessment of how VUCA your environment is. In doing this personal opinions can vary a lot. This question is close to assessing the risk of disruption in your business. Always difficult because the patterns behind this are sometimes difficult to see and developments can accelerate
in an exponential way. Interesting reading on this can be found at IMD in Lausanne, which predicts disruptive developments in different businesses in the so called digital vortex.
Apart from this we quite often see several types of business within one company with different dynamics. Also differences between departments appear, e.g. in a bank the environment of transaction services should be very stable and asks for 100% operational excellence, whilst wholesale financing demands a very high level of flexibility on each client/deal.
