Organizational Diagnostic
Organizational Network Analysis
In today’s unpredictable world, organizations must adapt to win. Can your organization move fast enough?
Introduction
Academic research and business practitioners support cross-functional collaboration as critical to an organization’s success. In today’s complex, uncertain business environment, the ability to adapt quickly to changing market demands is more important than ever. While most leaders intuitively understand the need for adaptability, determining the sources of organizational inertia remains challenging.
Adaptability in the context of a large enterprise requires coordinated collaboration across a network of teams. Traditional hierarchical org charts fail to capture the cross-team interactions that are essential to organizational productivity. Similarly, employee engagement assessments often lack in-depth measures of barriers to organizational adaptability.
CrossLead’s Organizational Diagnostic provides a robust analysis of the organizational processes and mindsets that prevent your company from achieving its goals. The results will help you identify opportunities, prioritize the next steps to transform challenges into strengths, and leverage key organizational influencers to lead the transformation.
Business Agility Index
CrossLead’s Business Agility Index measures an organization’s ability to adapt quickly to take advantage of new opportunities or respond to threats. The assessment baselines a company against the fundamental organizational capabilities of Trust, Common Purpose, Shared Consciousness, and Empowered Execution. Together,
these conditions enable an organization to operate with the speed and flexibility of
a small team.
Organizational Network Analysis
CrossLead’s Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) highlights critical information flows and decision-making patterns across individuals and teams. These invisible forces serve as levers to drive change and improve operating efficiency within an organization.
Supplemental Observations and Interviews (optional)
To supplement the quantitative analysis, CrossLead experts will interview network influencers and observe critical forums to contextualize the quantitative results. This will enable us to offer more targeted recommendations.
Business Agility Index
The CrossLead Business Agility Index measures behavior patterns, information flows, and communication habits across teams. The assessment is useful for identifying general and specific pain points that prevent the organization from collaborating across functional silos. The discrepancies in scores across teams enable highly targeted interventions. The Business Agility Index measures ten specific constructs that will allow teams to adapt and win:
