Our Evolutionary Development Model emphasizes the attributes that leaders need to embrace in order to navigate organizational change in the digital age. This model provides a roadmap to focus leaders on priorities for success.
The capacity to exercise introspection and the willingness to learn more about oneself.
To inspire, adapt, and develop, evolutionary leaders constantly invests in their own self-awareness. Not only does this make them vulnerable to change, but they view self-acceptance as a necessary step to fuel continuous growth. Through self-reflection, the evolutionary leader creates the internal capacity to inspire, adapt, and develop.
The ability to create energy, motivate others to action, and invoke positive emotions.
Evolutionary leaders must be able to show the way even when they don’t know the scope of the full journey. Uncertainty and ambiguity make the end-point unclear, but the aspiration that guides a leader’s vision must be clear. Inspiration generates intrinsic motivation and internal energy because it connects individual purpose to a larger purpose.
The ability to foster disruption, modify, and make things suitable for a new purpose.
Faced with unprecedented volatility, the evolutionary leader fosters internal and external adaptation, helping the system absorb change in real time and develop the capacity to generate more positive change. Adaptation is a core aspect of this leadership model: it positions the ‘doing’ beyond mere execution and into the realm of constant experimentation and continuous improvement.
The ability to master complexity, grow personally, and cultivate growth in others.
Crowdsourcing, co-creation, the sharing economy, and the increasing uptake of network models throughout the value chain make the ‘Develop’ pillar of the evolutionary leadership model critical to an organization’s ability to generate sustainable growth. Through this model, evolutionary leaders develop their own, and their organization’s capacity to manage complexity, which, today, is in many ways relational.
Leadership development should entail the full span of Influence; Mindset, Behavioral, and Processes. Unlike many other development models which focus only on behavioral changes, we also address the mindset shifts that drive changes in behavior and the resulting processes that create change throughout the organization.
Mindset
How we view people and the organization based on our values and beliefs – your line of sight.
Behavioral
What we give up and what we start doing – your actions and their impact on others.
Processes
What we envision to expand organizational capacity – your influence to create new systems and tools that sustain ongoing change.
Full service strategy development and implementation by our seasoned leadership and organizational development experts. We break down our process for collaborating and creating a dynamic learning strategy aligned with business priorities and the culture of the organization into three steps:
We work with senior leaders to document current state versus future state within the context of the culture and business priorities
We conduct surveys/focus groups to validate senior leadership perceptions and create buy-in.
We create project plans with clearly defined milestones, roles, and responsibilities.
Infopro Learning offers a wide range of custom interventions and services to develop and support associates as they grow from individual contributors to senior leaders who promote transformational change. Our global faculty provides onsite support to augment learning and organizational development teams in the following areas:
Leadership development based upon our Evolutionary Development which focuses on the mega-competencies required of leaders to drive organizational growth in the digital age.
Developing and delivering one or more sessions to create and fine-tune organizational or divisional strategy (long-term), problem solve challenges, and build team effectiveness.
Providing one-on-one services, generally for three to six months, to work with organizational leaders and create and follow through on a development plan.
Working with intact teams, either new or mature, to fine-tune their approach as a team to work more effectively together to be successful to achieve business results.
Creating a program, generally spanning a year to eighteen months, which includes virtual and live programs on leadership content, mentorship, action learning, and other topics geared towards leadership progression.
Our suite of more than 40 leadership and professional development programs balance the efficiency of proven frameworks with the effectiveness of engaging custom content. Train the trainer sessions are also available for organizations looking to deliver training with their internal resources.
Our leadership and management development programs provide a proven framework for motivating each person to maximize his or her own strengths and to focus on areas needing development.
Effective communication is the cornerstone of all successful business transactions. How one communicates affects productivity, results, morale, attitudes and relationships.
Providing leaders and other professionals at all levels with a way of considering the importance of critical thinking to solve business problems is a key objective of our programs.
Developing a culture that embraces and values diversity is more than just a good thing – it also makes for a strong business strategy.
Companies that adopt a proven project management approach will strengthen the success rates of projects as well as accelerate the project completion. In our programs, teams learn how to apply these tools to expand the ability to meet project timing and cost requirements.
Whether your employees are selling to customers or servicing customers to retain them, there is strong need for them to embrace a skill set that taps into the human factors to create new sales and to retain and celebrate customers.
Our programs can be tailored to address the critical need to strengthen the ultimate performance of cross-functional, remote or intact teams.
