Outcomes for Organizations that Regenerate
- A clear understanding of an organization’s capacity and success in achieving sustainable change
- An opportunity to close systemic gaps within an organization
- An opportunity to capitalize on the collective learning of a team or organization in order to enhance its capacity to create change and produce sustainable growth
- An opportunity to incorporate changes vis-à-vis competition, diversification, and globalization in the organization’s Long-Term Development Plan
What is Regeneration?
Each of the four quadrants in Aberfoyle Consulting’s Capacity-Building Wheel involves a review of the other quadrants. Regeneration, however, is more than review. It is a time to envision and ponder future possibilities for leaders, teams, and organizations.
Regeneration involves organizations looking ahead to consider the challenges they will confront, as well as the opportunities that are possible with increased engagement, focus, and performance. Regeneration enables organizations to close systemic gaps, and to make prudent decisions regarding expansion or restructuring.
As an example, consider the extraordinarily high rates of retirement, particularly in middle and upper levels of management in most organizations. Developing talent and succession planning is of critical importance to every organization’s success. Today, the oldest of the boomers are 55 plus and eligible for retirement benefits in many pension plans. They are at the beginning of a rising wave of retirements that should reach its peak about the time the largest birth cohorts (1960 and 1961) hit the median retirement age (about 61) in the early 2020s. This retirement wave will continue to wash a substantial amount of talent and experience out of the workforce.
Similarly, the technology sector and greater consciousness of the environment, to name just a few, will continue to create both gaps and opportunities for organizations, its leaders, and their teams. Moreover, globalization, competition, and matters of regional interest are taken into consideration during the Regenerate phase.
Through Regeneration, Aberfoyle Consulting asks your organization and teams what you are going to do with an infrastructure that has achieved a greater capacity to learn and to create sustainable results. We then work with you to discover and create opportunities.
The Composite Score Card
Aberfoyle Consulting has developed the Composite Score Card in order to aggregate an organization’s overall capacity across The Capacity-Building Wheel in achieving sustainable change. The Score Card also takes into consideration the level of service excellence a team or organization provides its clients.
By examining these three composites on the Score Card, your organization can assess differentials between your enhanced capacity, levels of sustainable growth, and service excellence:
- Capacity > a measure of the team or organization’s collective abilities to achieve sustainable change
- Achievement > levels of productivity, performance, and profit derived from heightened capacity
- Service Excellence > full service client satisfaction
Long-Term Development Planning
Aberfoyle Consulting will write The Long-Term Development Plan for your organization, expanding on the Composite Score Card. With this report, you will have an understanding of and strategies for closing deeply embedded systemic gaps within your organization.
The Long-Term Development Plan is also a summation of Divergent Visioning, a creative process of brainstorming sessions with your organization’s leaders and team members. Divergent Visioning looks at possibilities and challenges to map out creative solutions. Solutions are expanded, refined, and ultimately aligned with your organization’s core purpose and vision.
