S Curve

Organisation and value chain performance

Our tools and approach find application in the areas of, for example:-

  • Joint ventures and start ups
  • M&A due diligence and post M&A implementation
  • Value and supply chain performance
  • Outsourcing performance
  • Executing strategy faster
  • Aligning organisational, team and individual performance to strategic targets

Leaders want to know how their organisation performs across its value chain – where there is a greater need for change and innovation, where there are failures in communication and risks in execution.


The Human Insight approach can predict how organisational units will perform in pursuit of their strategic tasks across a growth cycle and where the risks of execution lie.

 

Every organisational unit will be predictably strong in one phase of growth (S curve) and relatively weak at another. Risks to execution exist if the value chain is not aligned, ready and able to execute the next (or current…) stage in the cycle.

 

To capture and organise data about the strategic context and how it will change over time we use the S-curve. To this we add an analysis of the organisation / unit’s mission; this is very quickly obtained via discussion.

 

We complete our data gathering by using the ACT cube® to provide insight into the organisation / unit’s:

  • value creation and delivery capability
  • performance values
  • performance capability , and
  • readiness to execute.

Our method of information gathering captures and processes data in such a way that the connection between mission and the organisation / unit’s performance is immediately visible.


Understanding generated from S-curve analyses and ACT-cube® results are combined in a powerful predictor of performance capability and enable the creation of immediate, concrete, tactics and strategies to better mitigate risks and take fullest advantage of opportunities.
