‘Sometimes I read a business book and wonder how the author managed to pad out 250 pages with what is essentially one idea – but this book is different. The Thrive Cycle is chock full of sensible, practical tools borne out of real-world experience and anchored in customer-centricity and employee engagement. Importantly, it shows how to achieve what is for many businesses‘the impossible dream’ – being big and adaptive’.
Chris Smedley CEO, Assure

ABOUT THE BOOK
The Thrive Cycle: How to build an unstoppable customer-driven organisation by activating its adaptive DNA is The Complete Leader's Guide to turning the organisation you have today, into one that holds a sustainable, adaptive advantage.
If you're a leader with the ambition, passion and strategic imperative to create The Adaptive Organisation, The Thrive Cycle: How to build an unstoppable customer-driven organisation by activating its adaptive DNA will show you how.
When The Thrive Cycle is strong, your organisation is consistently able to adapt to change and create value. When it is weak, change erodes value and adapting becomes costly, disruptive and penalises your customers and your people.
This book introduces an original framework that will empower you and your organisation to discuss, define, develop and measure adaptive capability in a meaningful way. It crystallises the lessons from twenty-years spent influencing, cajoling and coercing large, complex organisations to adapt and shares the insights from a career spent in-between the organisational silos. The result is a fresh approach to one of the world's biggest challenges: CHANGE.
You'll find answers including:
-
What is adaptive capability and how do I develop and measure it?
-
What is my Is it a Surfer, Swimmer, Splasher or Sinker?
-
How adaptive does my organisation need to be?
-
What are the Six Elements of Adaptive Success and how are they impacting the adaptiveness of my organisation?
-
As a leader, how do I build the commitment and alignment required to create The Adaptive Organisation?
-
Where do I start?
