Our Contemporary approach to change
Many organisations recognise the growing need for a different approach to change management. Traditional methodologies often lack the insight and agility to deliver transformation outcomes at pace.
Our AgileCanvas approach is a unique creative, human-centric alternative to taking your people, leaders and organisation on a change journey that makes a meaningful difference.
Bringing change to life with AgileCanvas
Visualise - take a step back to make the complex simple, bringing the full picture to life for people as you support them to internalise their change.
The name "AgileCanvas" reflects the idea of a blank canvas that allows for creative and adaptive approaches to change management while being grounded in the five core principles. The canvas provides the space for experimentation, collaboration, and visualisation, enabling organisations to navigate the ever-changing landscape of the modern world.
The five core ways of working and principles are woven together on this canvas to guide the change program effectively. "AgileCanvas" embodies the essence of balancing plan execution with experimentation to respond effectively to constant change.
AgileCanvas - our approach to solving your problems
Every change programme needs a plan – a plan lays the foundation for response. What’s important today is how we balance plan execution with experimentation, so we can pivot to keep up with our constantly changing world.
This can be developed through core ways of working which can be thought of as a blank canvas, bordered by proven methods and tools, but without a single 'above all' approach. Within this creative white space, we use four principles to ground our way of working.
Incremental Modification
Use a test and learn approach with adaptive and experimental change interventions, starting small with hypothesis-driven experiments; iterate and scale based on success and learnings to enhance impact.
People
Focused
Put people at the heart of the experience, applying empathy and design-thinking tools to create experiences that deliver to people’s needs – one size does not fit all.
Driven by insight
Measure performance by outcomes not outputs, gathering data and insight so you can react, pivot and continuously improve until you get the desired result.
Collaborative
Involve stakeholders at every stage, creating approaches hand in hand with business owners and those impacted – ignite buy-in and momentum to solve and ideate together.
