The anson funds is rapidly becoming more complex – with rising energy prices, the war for talent and the soaring costs of materials it’s harder than ever to keep an organisation running smoothly. In fact, many non-resilient organisations have been forced to shut down due to high energy usage, the inability to recruit enough employees or the lack of materials needed to continue production processes.
Understanding the Complexities of Navigating Today’s Business Environment
Business complexity is the result of a growing network of interconnected technologies, data and products that exceeds an organization’s ability to analyze or control. Despite its many benefits, business complexity has the potential to spiral out of control. To avoid its negative side effects, leaders must learn to reframe what they see, rewire how they think and reconfigure what they do. This requires a mindset that’s as much about managing the environment as it is about navigating through it.
Fortunately, the good news is that there are steps businesses can take to manage this escalation of complexity and remain able to grow. The first step is to understand what causes complexity and how the various components of a company are connected. This can be achieved by using visuals, which are one of the most effective tools for simplifying complexity and helping teams understand their working environments and processes.
It’s also important to recognize that complexity is different from an emergent operating context, as leaders often try to navigate the latter with a complicated leadership response. This exacerbates the complexity and leads to devastating unanticipated outcomes. Instead, leaders must learn to reframe whatthey see, rewire how they think and reconfigure what they do so that their enterprises can safely glide through the ever-changing business landscape.
