What is an Adaptive Workplace?
More than ever, organizations must be capable of adapting to constant change, not just managing it. That requires thinking about your workplace experience as a critical business strategy.
A WORK ENVIRONMENT WHERE HUMANS FLOURISH
The Adaptive Workplace is a thoughtfully designed, carefully cultivated experience that enables the right mindset and healthy behaviors that drive growth, agility and transformation.
The Adaptive Code
Founded in the psychological and physical needs of an employee, the Adaptive Code brings together elements present in a flourishing workplace — a universal framework, set of principles and language that organizations and their teams can use to guide evolution and growth. The code incorporates:
The Identity that defines why teams exist inside an organization.
The Mindset that drives individual, collaborative and leadership behaviors.
The Methods teams rely on to deliver work efficiently.
The Place that inspires and fuels a healthy, flourishing work experience.
By assessing, prioritizing and addressing these together, organizations and teams optimize their purpose, productivity and chemistry.
Organization & Team Identity
The missing step in most efforts around organizational purpose is activating it inside teams. We work with companies to define or evolve their full identity, then activate it across the organization and into the mission and work of teams.
Team Purpose
Have your teams codified their value proposition and connected it to the organizational purpose?
Team Principles
Do your teams have a set of guidelines that inform how others teams and customers experience them?
Team Priorities
Are there a set of activities that ensure teams deliver on their value proposition?
Mindset
Modern teams are diverse, cross-functional and hybrid workers who need strong bonds to maintain productivity. We create and execute programs to strengthen chemistry, leadership, trust, and engagement.
Individuals
How do individuals show up with behaviors that promote a sense of safety, inclusiveness, generosity, autonomy and learning?
Collaborators
Are teams driving collective problem solving by understanding and leading with each others’ strengths?
Leaders
Are leaders providing coaching, service and vision-casting to drive performance?
Methods
Leveraging modern technology is a top priority, but many teams aren’t adopting new tools or ways of working fast enough. We assess the technology, process and rituals needed to make teams future-ready, then craft new experiences and behavior-change programs to maximize them.
Tools
Are teams changing behaviors to adopt the full capability of modern methodology frameworks and collaboration technology?
Processes
Are teams running projects, meetings, reviews and work activities as efficiently as possible?
Rituals
Are teams using behavior-driving, formal activities that drive support the work and team culture?
Place
The workspace itself can dramatically drive engagement and productivity. We help companies assess physical and virtual work environments along with the services and amenities needed to get the best return on investment.
Physical
Are you getting productivity ROI from space designed for the right work modes?
Environmental
Are your brand, aesthetic and atmosphere supporting well-being and inspiring engagement?
Programatic
Are experiences, services and amenities in place to support relational, physical, and emotional health?
