Our 'Fitness to Scale' Toolkit
A scaleup guidance system to shape culture, strengthen leadership and plan organisation development for lasting out-performance.
Whether your business needs to identify the root cause of a weakness, allocate resources with precision or minimise culture risk, a systemic approach examining culture, leadership and organisation is required. Cultures and subcultures are strongly influenced by the actions and behaviours of leaders over time. Until now, and because of this, culture as a source of advantage has been hard to shape and measure. An integrated, insights-based system that allows leaders to understand how their leadership and decisions are influencing culture and business outcomes at the company and department level is needed so that they can:
— Identify opportunities quickly
— Make decisions and priortise effectively
— Plan and sequence interventions
— Communicate plans and update on progress
— Implement and monitor interventions
— Review and course correct
Scalewell’s Fitness to Scale guidance system addresses these needs by enabling leaders and companies to:
Shape desired culture
Analyse current culture and sub-cultures and understand their impact
Codify and shape desired culture to achieve specific business outcomes
Adjust culture as the environment changes
Strengthen leadership
Identify leadership gaps systematically
Plug gaps with the right senior hires based on desired culture, capability and diversity
Maximise leadership impact through focussed individual and collective development
Plan organisation development
Identify root causes to organisation weaknesses and challenges
Take targeted, sequenced action for greater ROI
Track progress across levels, locations and demographics
The Fitness to Scale review provided vital new insights - the sheer depth of insights and presentation of data was empowering. Scalewell’s cross-organisation perspective has highlighted the key areas to focus on that will have the greatest impact.
