5 Ideas for Truly Lean and Agile Organisation in this VUCA World



Business world is witnessing a state of flux. Every business entity is going through sudden and abrupt change. It has made business world fiercely competitive. Though Agile and Lean seems oxymoron but these two in unison are the only way to manage the Business Risk in this VUCA World. 

Following 5 Original ideas are to be included by every organisation in their thinking Process. 


1. Always believe that impossible will happen

It always seems impossible until its done. As Organisation it must always believe that Impossible will happen. So explore, think, explore and draw impossible Scenarios in your planning Stage. 180 Degree Change in Business Model, Customer requirement, Technology, Govt. Regulation, Competition needs possible way. 

2. Act on Future Now

When change is fast you have to change faster. Capturing the change and ways to addressing it is prerequisite to develop adequate capabilities. Developing the think tanks in the Organisation is first step to act on future. This is entirely different BALL GAME than Working on Cost Reduction, Process Improvements and Efficiency Improvements. 


3. Aim is to address Aspirations not Requirements

There are some attributes which customer knows that he wants and then there are some which even customer doesn't know that he wants . Aim is to offer all these attributes in your product with elements of Genuineness, Surprise and personal Human touch. This task would require extensive collaborative efforts of all  functions of organisation. 


4. Develop Distinct Capabilities fast

If you will Tread same path, you will reach same destination. Organisations needs to develop distinct Capabilities quickly to achieve sustainable Competitive Advantage. There should not be one or two capabilities as a pillar but there should be options of capabilities depending upon various thought off business scenarios. To develop distinct Capabilities organisations need to explore not only Organic options but also partnerships/ collaboration with organisations, Incubation Centers, Start Ups, Universities and Freelancers.


5. Humans vs Humans 

At the End it is Customer vs Employees. These are two clear ends of the Business but both are equally important for Organisation.  While Customers are in Uncontrolled environment, Employees are together in Controlled Environment. Goal of Agile and Lean Organisation is to exceed customer aspirations by fostering abilities and attitude of employees to win this game.

Conclusion

Adaptive Learning Organisation is the need of hour. It can only be achieved by leveraging True Human Potential. When Each Employee will fight for the cause of Sustainable Existence of  Organisation to make this Society better place to live, We will see Better world around us.
