Process Improvement Vision Organizational Transformation (PIVOT)
The harsh truth is that most organizations undertake transformations without fully understanding their underlying attributes—processes, behaviors, culture, skills, practices, and technology. This lack of insight can hinder their ability to perceive, evaluate, and respond to real and potential risks, problems, and opportunities. An organization’s vision for transformation should outline how to meld attributes such as culture, learning, and technology to encourage and empower desired workplace behavior.
Management needs to be constantly aware of the impact that their dominant attributes, both positive and negative, have on workplace effectiveness and value creation. In today’s high-velocity digital era, the ability to recognize problematic values, cultural issues, and missing skills is essential.
A proactive transformation vision continuously adjusts and refreshes the values and behaviors that support and sustain an organization’s culture. Without understanding this vision before starting a transformation, organizations will face an uphill battle.
A well-understood organizational transformation vision guides positive decisions that support transformational efforts rather than working against them.
The Process Improvement Vision Organizational Transformation Concept
Not all organizations are blessed with a positive and widely accepted transformation vision. Over time, governance, policies, culture, and skills can become rigid, making it difficult to adapt to rapid changes, often leading to failed transformations.
Many leaders see the transformation vision as the ‘elephant in the room’ and avoid addressing it due to potential embarrassment or conflict. In many cases, long-tenured managers resist change, hindering the modernization of the strategic thought process.
Measuring the Process Improvement Vision Organizational Transformation
PIVOT examines seven dynamic attributes that shape an organization’s transformation vision. These attributes are broken down into 120 unique categories and are evaluated through scenarios, current practices, and mindset questions rather than traditional assessments or surveys.
The seven dynamic attributes are scored as “missing,” “shallow,” or “adequate.” A score of “missing” indicates a critical area needing attention before undertaking any transformation. “Shallow” signifies that improvement is needed, while “adequate” suggests sufficient knowledge, skills, practices, or technology in that attribute.
Research shows that certain attributes, when combined, are more likely to support positive business outcomes. Organizations that are flexible, detail-oriented, and led by adaptable and conscientious executives are more likely to see growth because they are both open to new opportunities and able to implement strategies swiftly.
PIVOT Scoring Key
- Missing: Focus attention on this attribute before undertaking transformation.
- Shallow: Improvement needed to reach “adequate” level.
- Adequate: Sufficient knowledge, skills, practices, or technology present.
