Real change.
All transformation is change, but not all change is transformational.
At Shiftflow, we set the stage for true transformation to take place.
Change is a constant.
Every organization on the planet is grappling with huge systems shifts and responding with various transformation initiatives. Most are spinning their wheels trying to achieve novel outcomes through traditional means.
We want to help you get it right.
Change is the only constant in the world. But too often, we're stuck in our ways and can't see the forest for the trees. The challenge is that our organizations are not designed to navigate change, they're designed to be consistent and efficient. Efficiency alone is the enemy of change.
Before engaging in change management or optimization we need to discover the right change to pursue. That requires adaptive, change leadership. The only thing worse than a failed change initiative is successfully executing the wrong change. As Russell Ackoff says:
“The more efficient you are at doing the wrong thing, the wronger you become. It is much better to do the right thing wronger than the wrong thing righter. If you do the right thing wrong and correct it, you get better.”
We can help you get it right the first time, so that you don’t have to spend time and energy repeatedly unlearning old systems and implementing new ones.
Real change is lasting.
We can help you shift the script, and re-write your transformation story.
Whether you are trying to recover from the pandemic, pursuing digital transformation, delivering on an innovation strategy, or quite simply, trying to do better at creating value for the people you serve; we have the unique combination of experience and knowledge needed to support your success in a vague, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world.
Our approach is driven by human-centred design principles, an in-depth understanding of innovation and a passion for building capacity in others.
