STRAAD’s Organizational Performance Diagnostic Tool
Organizational performance (OP) is the outcome of future-focused leaders building high-performance systems to drive strategic change. STRAAD’s Organizational Performance Diagnostic Tool is a system-based assessment intended to help future-focused leaders understand their system and drive strategic change.
Future-focused leadership
Future-focused leaders are skilled in sense-making and building for the future they want with their teams, organizations, and communities. Integrating real-time feedback, they are propelled to action as the future gains increased clarity. Prototyping, innovating and ‘seeing around the corner’ of possible scenarios are what they inspire and guide through collaboration and shared desire for positive impact.
Strategic change
Strategic change is difficult and complex. Often it creates a ‘worse before better’ outcome in the short term, and takes commitment, consistency, and time. Strategic change can’t happen overnight, and it is beyond one leader or leadership team; it is about changing the system of an organization.
High-performance systems
High-Performance Systems are the integrated and optimized processes, technologies, and strategies within an organization. These systems are meticulously designed and continuously improved to align with the organization’s goals and values. As a result, they enhance efficiency, effectiveness and outcomes, leading to streamlined operations and elevated performance levels.
This systems-based approach empowers the leaders we collaborate with to propel and lead change within their organization, guaranteeing success and long-lasting results.
At STRAAD, we strive to understand and influence entire systems. Our deep understanding and expertise of an organization’s system coupled with our integrated service offering means that we continue to ready our clients to navigate and start their strategic change journey and unlock organizational performance.
Our 5-D Approach is designed to enable strategic change.
We help leaders take a data-driven approach to discovering and diagnosing their system such that they understand opportunities, root causes, interdependence, and the conditions available for strategic change. We then work alongside leaders to design the necessary interventions and then coach, develop, resource, and provide the tools to enable meaningful change. We build strong learning cultures through ongoing debriefing of what is working and what is not. Calling for strength in metrics and feedback so that course correction is a learned skill and operating principle.
Our 5Ds are the methods future-focused leaders need to see around the corner.
We take a data-based systems approach to explore, understand, and quantify the current landscape to assess the conditions for strategic change. This involves engaging with leaders and stakeholders, ensuring that their voices are heard as the change process commences, and gaining a comprehensive understanding of the system.
We identify the underlying patterns, conditions and insights that will unlock the path forward. Utilizing the discovery data, we conduct an assessment of the organization’s readiness for change and determine how the organizational levers can be enhanced to facilitate the achievement of the required outcomes.
We partner with leaders to design and build the necessary interventions, activities and metrics, including strategy development & implementation, leadership enablement and team effectiveness, organizational design & ways of working, culture design & alignment, and strategic change management, that enable the path forward.
We employ a range of modalities to cater to the distinctiveness of the changes—focusing on how leaders learn, think, and optimize their performance to ensure a continuous enhancement of capabilities throughout the engagement. We establish data-driven feedback channels, enabling us to make necessary adjustments and measure results over time.
We reflect and look back on the data and learnings to chart the course for the future, ensuring leaders are set up for sustained adoption, and have continued access to innovative and leading-edge approaches. Internally, we collect the necessary artifacts for ongoing learning and storytelling.
