What makes this programme stand out

No organisation changes in isolation. To stay relevant, you need to understand the system around you and design for it. This programme helps you map your internal and external ecosystem, connect the dots across silos, and build a more adaptive, purpose-led organisation. 

This way, you can take your organisational challenges head-on, equipping you with practical solutions to make change happen.

Explore how to work with dependencies, power structures, value streams, and stakeholder networks. Learn how to identify your organisation’s position in a bigger system—and how to influence it.

See the whole system
Learn to map your organisational ecosystem—people, teams, partners, value streams and uncover where flow breaks down.

Design for connection, not control
Create new pathways for feedback, learning, and ways of co-working across silos and roles, based on adaptive networking operating models

Strengthen your adaptive capacity
Understand how to work with constraints, complexity, and constant change. Allow for flexible strategies to increase innovation

Experiential Learning
You’ll work on your own organisational map—spotting barriers, dependencies, and opportunities for flow and alignment.

This hands-on programme helps you build a stronger ecosystem—so change doesn’t get stuck in the system that surrounds it.

  • Understand the shift to adaptive organisations and the fundamentals of Business Agility. Gain insights into your business context within the broader ecosystem, identify potential bottlenecks and opportunities for synergy to create strategic clarity.
  • Design for the dynamic nature of networks and understand the implications of transitioning to a more Agile and self-organising, organisational model. Learn how this shift impacts roles, leadership styles, decision-making processes, team empowerment, and reporting lines.
  • Integrate and apply various transformations, such as digitalisation and sustainability (SDGs), as part of your overall purpose strategy. Understand and acknowledge the parallels between your business system and the larger natural ecosystem to extract valuable insights for innovation and sustainability.
  • Discover and apply Henry Mintzberg's business strategies (Intended, Non-Realised, Deliberate, Realised, and Emergent). Create systems that allow these strategies to emerge and thrive within your organisation.
  • Deepen your understanding of Peter Senge’s Systems Thinking theory to achieve real transformation and learning. Explore the 7 Learning Disabilities, identify underlying archetypes of management problems, and evaluate your organisation against them.
  • Analyse your organisation's formal and informal networks. Identify connectors, critical roles, and communication patterns to define gaps, holes, and bottlenecks. Understand the reality of your organisation’s communication and decision-making processes.
  • Analyse the potential benefits of higher-order networks, organisational topologies, Agile models, such as those used by Spotify and Haier, and identify what is needed to implement such models effectively.

Tackle your organisational GAPs head-on

Lack of systemic insights?
Your organisation lacks clarity about its business landscape, stakeholder roles, and ecosystem interdependencies. Learn to map these out and define your system’s reality.
No integrated strategy?
Technology, ways of working, and sustainability remain siloed. This programme helps you design a coherent strategy that connects and evolves with your system.
Low impact awareness?
The implications of becoming an adaptive network are unclear. Learn to analyse impacts on leadership, roles, decision-making, and reporting structures.
Stuck or copied a culture?
What works in one company doesn't necessarily work in yours. Build extensive knowledge of several higher-order, adaptive networks. Understand what works in your organisation to be adaptive and create agility, while keeping your unique purpose in mind.
