Ep 7 Building Agile Organizations with Rodrigo del Campo

As Executive Director of Alto Impacto, a management and organizational consulting firm, Rodrigo del Campo has worked with companies, and their top leaders, in their transformational processes to become more agile and effective.

With the increasingly accelerating pace of business today most business leaders have begun to realize the importance of flexibility and agility within their organizations over simple productivity and efficiency initiatives. Yet, achieving it is a complex process of changing corporate systems, values and culture. Most corporate efforts on culture change focus on perceptions of an organizations culture, rather than the more fundamental changes to the organization’s systems and values that will result in durable shifts in its performance.

Rodrigo and I discuss keys to unlocking systemic agility within an organization. From examining and addressing key organizational systems: strategic, operational, innovation and people as well as working with the de facto values under which the organization operates, we’ll discuss the challenges, pitfalls, and investments required, as well as the potential payoffs from successful implementation.

Topics covered include:

* What changes in today's world give rise to the need for organizational agility

* What does agility consist of?

* How does an organization begin to improve their agility?

* What has to change in management systems to foster agility?

* What leadership capabilities are necessary to lead a more agile organization?

Who should listen? Those who:
