The competitive landscape is shifting. The ability to create, deliver and capture value in a prolonged and uncertain market context requires new leadership tools, skills, mindset (1), and a systems innovation (2) capability. In order to lead and adapt to disruptive industry/market change, such as potential de-globalisation, climate change, local circular economies and digitalisation, organisations must develop their systems innovation capacity - the ability to repeatedly and successfully drive and adapt to change. Design-driven organisations, capable of collaboration at a systems level, outperform their competition (those wedded to the status quo) by over 200% and our own CIRRCLE Benchmark (3) data shows that organisations with adaptive systems thinking qualities are three times more likely to reach their organisational goals. Whether that's competing on climate action; growing sustainably - enabled by circular business models (4); attracting and retaining customers and staff; reducing finance cost through congruent ESG targets to create sustainable value (5)The competitive landscape is shifting.

Equally to avoid or mitigate risks, organisations must become more of a strategic platform (6) for its customers, people supply chain, communities and other key stakeholders For example, co-creating with customers, funders, end-users, government, supply-chain, and other relevant stakeholders as part of a design/systems thinking approach to innovation that can drive sustainable value and growth (7). Essentially, with our clients we co-design and implement the necessary shifts: • from optimised to adaptive • from linear to circular • from siloed to collaborative • from extractive/depletive to restorative/regenerative • from product to service • from analogue to digital Systemic challenges such as sustainable growth, climate change, digitalisation and inequality face multiple stakeholders. My Systems innovation approach is a key way to address these challenges and includes some of the following process: 1. Board, C-Suite, Leadership Strategy 2. Place-Based & Systems Innovation 3. CIRRCLE Benchmark Platform 4. Circular Business Model Innovation 5. Sustainable value creation 6. Climate Action Strategy & Implementation 7. Multi-stakeholder integration and optimisation (CoLabs and Venture Labs)
