At the same time, we are more connected and processing more information than we ever have had in the past. To be successful in this environment of rapid, concurrent and never-ending change, organizations must grow their change agility not just to thrive, but to survive. In fact, senior leaders are starting to acknowledge how important agility is to their success. In a PwC survey of 1150 CEOs, 76% said that their ability to adapt to change will be a key source of competitive advantage in the future. A study by McKinsey found that 9 out of 10 executives said organizational agility was critical to business success and growing in importance over time. And the Project Management Institute's Organizational Agility Report introduced the following equation: greater organizational agility = better ...

Gestion de la performance : entre leadership et outils de mesure
De nouvelles formes de leadership "Dans un monde où tout est complexe, chaotique, on demande aux dirigeants d'avoir une vision et de prendre les bonnes décisions. Or, notre monde est fait d'incertitudes" a débuté Luc de Jaeger, Founding Partner de la société Nexum Luxembourg. Le paradoxe est alors on ne peut plus clair. Pour trouver la solution, les leaders de demain doivent avant tout gérer et accepter cette incertitude, qui est désormais la norme. La deuxième étape serait alors de connaitre ses peurs…puis prendre conscience que l'on peut déplacer les limites de celles-ci. Dans les situations que nous connaissons actuellement, le leader doit alors donner confiance et transmettre une envie d'oser. Pour cela, il doit "se construire une image en étant transparent, honnête et bienveillant, et même partager ses vulnérabilités" souligne Luc de Jaeger avant de poursuivre : "Pour être crédible dans un monde complexe, il devra faire la part belle à l’expérimentation, ...

“Write your change”©
Change is everywhere, all the time. We increasingly hear that change is the new paradigm of the 21st century. Despite this awareness of the ever-changing environment, people are naturally resistant to change. As a consequence, many efforts at change have not delivered the desired outcome or have even failed miserably, especially when it comes to changing an organizational culture. Prosci© research studies show that the number one contributor to successful change in culture is the effective sponsorship of senior management and their serving as role models and ambassadors for the change (being active and visible). The two most effective role models for change are the most senior person involved in the change and the direct line manager. Beyond the individual sponsorship of top executives, the ability of the leadership team to act as a cohesive unit in providing this sponsorship will also act as a change accelerator. Misalignment ...
