Ever Wondered Why Successful Change is So Elusive

As business-as-usual models fail in the face of adaptive threats, change is inevitable. At this point the speed of thought and speed of action will determine success or failure. Only the most adaptive will succeed and evolve.

The Darwinian Mindset opens our consciousness about what drives performance, what hinders it and how to improve it. Once you know, there is no going back.

The sequel in the series will consist of case studies of organisations undergoing change. If you would like to participate please get in touch.

Coming Summer 2023

About the Book

The Darwinian Mindset is a responsive mindset with an Esprit de Corp on steroids, emphasising speed of thought and action. The authors have developed the approach over 30 years of dealing with business owners, investors and senior management that want change. The books shows how an organisation can become adaptive and thrive even when the business-as-usual approach has failed.

What determines the adaptiveness of an organisation is what people do, how they do it, and the mindset practised in the workplace. Organisations are social enterprises with complex human interactions, and dealing with adaptive threats requires change. These social systems and psychological mindset can resist change via organisational structures, norms and decision-making processes. These norms obfuscate poor performance and impede change and can never support an Esprit de Corp on steroids.

This practical book gives the reader the tools to get to the heart of the problem quickly. It uses a case study company with a management team grappling with an adaptive threat to illustrate the importance of the mindset of the key players in the organisation and their adaptive skills.
