We live in an increasingly unpredictable world. Unfortunately most organisations were not built with this new reality in mind. Kneejerk responses include:

​​

• Cutting costs

• Developing the leaders

• Redesigning the organisation

• Embracing digital

• Building an innovation centre.

​

These aren’t working. A more profound approach is required.

​

We believe that to thrive in an increasingly disruptive world, organisations need to behave intelligently, ie be able to sense, decide, and act in real time. This way they can capitalise on disruption, rather than be its victim. Our Adaptive Edge framework helps organisations develop the cognitive, structural, and technological capabilities needed to stay ahead.

​​

The framework is an evolving hypothesis. However, as you will learn, it is also backed by billions of years of testing. The approach does not require you to 'pull up your organisation's floorboards' or swap out your workforce for AI agents.

​

It is based on the work of Ade McCormack, a former technologist and FT columnist. He incorporates this framework into his advisory, leadership development and public speaking work. 
 
Intelligent organisations are built on four systems:

​

• Leadership

• People

• Technology

• Adaptiveness.

These systems are both integrated and tuned to thrive in the wider ecosystem.
