THE PERFECT Motivation

Inspired by

The poster is inspired by the movie ‘The Perfect Storm’. A dramatic story of fishermen confronted with a perfect storm. The movie ends dramatic - spoiler - they all perish. With ‘The Perfect Organization’, we give you all the insights needed to increase your survival chances in the dramatic storm organizations are facing today.

It’s about Urgency

The world is shifting in a higher gear. A much higher gear. Disruptive innovation and unintended consequences from unsustainable innovations in the past result in a market and a world that changes much faster and much more unpredictable.

“We could give a list of what is happening today … from Artificial Intelligence, ChatGPT to Climate Disruption and much much more … but this list would only describe our ‘new environment’. And although many people and organizations are aware of these new challenges only few are willing or able to take the right actions to adapt.”

If organizations want to survive, they also have to switch in a much higher gear. The Perfect Organization is an Executive Awakening based on ‘The Engine of Innovation Mindset Map’ and ‘The Red Monkey Story’. It introduces the ‘Engine of Innovation Operating System’ for organizations as a holistic frame work to tackle one of the most difficult challenges in organizational development: “How to transform organizational cultures into real learning and disruptive innovative organizations?” - “How to keep up with the challenges of (new) customers and the sustainable needs of the world?”

It’s about bravery

Too often consensus in the executive team is pursued while just that is part of the problem. The result of this is ‘culture improvement’, good for the past, terrible for the future. The needed increase in agile & disruptive business innovation can only be achieved with an agile & disruptive culture innovation process. You can’t always start a culture innovation process based on consensus.

The ‘Perfect Organization’ is for brave CEO’s, executives and managers that have the courage to break consensus and are motivated to question all their paradigms about learning, working and innovation. After this Awakening Program, action will be the only option!


The Perfect FLOW

Session Flow

The ‘Perfect Organization’ tries to awaken Executive Teams & More. ‘Awakening’ is the most difficult (first) step in learning. It will only happen after reflection, debate & intensive Q&A. That’s why …

  1. we promote ‘Packs of Participants’ of the same organization or network. The creation of balanced ‘Packs’ is the work of in-company or in-network ‘Pack Builders’. The guidance during the awakening is the work of in-company or in-network ‘Pack Guides & Reporters’. See below … ‘The Perfect Packs’.

  2. we go for ‘Interactive Teaching’ and ‘Vivid Engagement’. Because of this, every session has 3 parts: Teaching, Engagement, Reporting. The balance between the 3 activities depends on the content of the Awakening Session …

The Perfect Organization is a 2-Day Awakening Journey with 4 Sessions …

Day 1 - Awakening Session 1 - The Challenge

Focus on the needed disruption in how we learn, work and innovate. Without understanding and accepting this challenge, there is no reason why Executives and Managers would become engaged in an organic but disruptive culture transformation process! Too often executives are focused on trends in their business without realizing that their most important challenge is to upgrade their organizational culture to keep up with those trends.

Day 1 - Awakening Session 2 - The Management Blueprint

In order to keep up with todays challenges (Awakening Session 1), organizations have to adapt. If they can’t adapt they will disappear in todays storm of disruptive trends. They have to organically rebuilt their organization with a new generation of experts, managers and executives. This part of the Perfect Organization will focus on a blueprint for the new generation of managers.

The Engine of Innovation Smarting Compass
What makes you valuable as a 3D-Expert? What Personal Competences are developed by 3D-Smarts / Experts? To keep course in Personal Development we developed the ‘EOI Smarting Compass’. The Art of Self-Leadership, Self-Casting, Self-Informing & Self-Empowerment. The EOI Smarting Compass Survey.

The Switch-3D Management Fracture
What is the Art of 3D-Management? A disruptive view on the evolution of management. What went terrible wrong with management development? Why do we have to embrace ‘Managers’ … again? We have to organically install a new management style. Why organically? What are the challenges?

The Engine of Innovation Agility Compass

The Engine of Innovation Agility Matrix & Game
Embedding a 3D-Management Style is about finding the right balance between casting the right managers with the right passion, talents and resulting competences, and developing the right processes to support that management style. The EOI Agility Matrix is a tool that helps finding and developing that balance. The EOI Agility Matrix Game will open your mind in how to embed a 3D-Management Style.


Day 2 - Awakening Session 3 - The Executive Blueprint

In order to embed Continuous, Agile & Disruptive Innovation we need executives that bring passion to learn & innovate into an organizational culture. Executives that are able to cast the right 3D-Managers at the right time. This session will propose a new framework to embed Red Monkey Innovation Management in the portfolio of organizations. It delivers a compelling toolkit for a new generation of executives.

The EOI Portfolio Matrix is a tool that helps finding and developing that balance. The EOI Agility Matrix Game will open your mind in how to embed a 3D-Executive Style.


Day 2 - Awakening Session 4 - The Construction

You can’t change your organizational culture to a real learning and disruptive innovative organization by using the development strategies of your old culture! To succeed in the construction of an organizational culture that embeds the needed expert, management and executive styles (Awakening Session 2 &3), you need to reinvent organizational development! This part of the Perfect Organization will focus on how to construct your new organizational culture.

The Switch-3D Development Fracture
What is the needed disruption in Organization Development to succeed in Culture Transformation? The Return on Investment of todays Training & Development programs is just too low to succeed in a culture transformation process. Executives & Managers underestimate the time and energy for real learning and competence development. This part will propose ‘AAA-Learning’ and ‘Engine of Innovation Stepping’ as a learning & development strategy to make Culture Transformation a reality.

Engine of Innovation Mission Boxing
With EOI Stepping the last part of the EOI Operating System is added. The remaining question is: “How and where to deploy the EOI Operating System in your organization?” This part introduces the ‘EOI Mission Box’. This box is a ‘Token of Engagement’, given to and accepted by potential 3D-Business Unit Managers to embed Red Monkey Innovation Management in his/her Business Unit by means of EOI Culture Innovation. EOI Mission Boxing is a ‘game’ played by the Executive Team of an organization and guided by the CEO of that organization.


THE PERFECT PACKS

The Pack Builder ‘builds’ the right pack of participants for ‘The Perfect Organization’. It could be the CEO, an Executive, someone from organizational development, an executive coach or ‘just’ a fan that wants to bring a new development mindset into his / her organization. Contact niel.staes@redmonkey.be if you want to built a ‘Perfect Pack’!

Some Pack Building Hints

  • An optimal pack has +/- 6 participants (6-Pack … 8-). We help you with this ‘Pack Building’.

  • Two roles in the Pack are mandatory …

    • a passionate & talented ‘Pack Guide’… he/she guides the Pack during the ‘Engagement Moments’. One of the participants could take up this role …

    • a passionate & talented ‘Pack Reporter’ … he/she reports all relevant questions, remarks, debate issues, ideas generated by the pack participants during the ‘Engagement Moments’. One of the participants could take up this role …

  • The program starts with ‘Be Prepared’ … during that period we also prepare the Guides and Reporters.

  • A ‘Perfect Pack’ can be colleagues, friends, business or network partners.

  • Selection of Pack Participants impacts the outcome of the Awakening Journey!

  • Pack must be passionate about boosting Real Learning & Disruptive Innovation!

  • Go for Pack Diversity! Executives - Managers - Experts - Newbies - Generations!

  • Go for a Pack of ‘The Switch-3D Willing’ with ‘The Authority’! Embed feedback to the CEO!

  • Go for Packs from different sectors! Stimulate Open Culture & Business Innovation!

Some Pack Suggestions

Depending on your organization or network, different ‘Pack Formats’ are possible … Be Creative!

  • A Pack with the CEO, passionate executives & managers, some passionate employees, some passionate HRM or/and Innovation Experts, an Executive Coach and a student to open your mind to the next generation.

  • A Pack with the CEO and his/her successors … we love and respect family owned companies. But sometimes they also need to change their organizational culture. This session could facilitate the transition of power to the next generation.

  • Packs from organizations that are merging. The Perfect Organization could give them the needed insights to make the merger happen with culture innovation as a merger facilitator.

  • A Pack of Executive Coaches that want to experience the power of the Engine of Innovation Mindset & Toolkit and are interested in becoming an Engine of Innovation Expert.


The Perfect Partners

Although we already have a lot of experience with organizing awakenings, it’s time to bring the awakenings on ‘executive level’ … worldwide … 8-). Again and again we notice that only the CEO as the ‘driver & energizer’ AND a coalition of 3D-Willing are able to start the needed Engine of Innovation Culture Innovation we propose. ‘Authorized’ is the most important ‘tag’!

Taking that in mind we are looking for partners who would like to organize and customize this ‘Executive Awakening Program’ in their organization, network or region.

This is an Awakening. It’s your decision
whether you hit snooze or rise up and make it work!
