About Agendashift™

We keep asking this simple but radical question:

What if we put agreement on outcomes before solutions?

Emphasising authentic agreement and meaningful outcomes – needs met, happy endings to stories, the world changed meaningfully for someone – that question is the foundation for a fresh approach to change, transformation, strategy, and leadership.

In the vanguard of a new category, the engagement model

You can’t upgrade your organisation like you’re upgrading your email server! Traditional change management’s track record on cultural and other adaptive challenges is so disastrous that it’s time to carve out a new category.

If any of those jobs are yours too, you’d want an approach that encourages engagement, not destroys it! Agendashift puts authentic agreement on outcomes before solutions, a simple but radical change in perspective with profound implications.

Outcomes all the way down, outcome-oriented

Agendashift deals coherently, humanely, and strategically with outcomes – everything from the most aspirational of goals to the impact of the smallest experiment. These outcomes are agreed through participation, the right people in the room agreeing authentically on outcomes relevant and meaningful to them, articulating them in their own words, organising them into strategy.

Approached this way, outcomes give direction, they give people something to organise around, they provide measures of success, and they give focus to innovation. Putting them first creates the space for solutions to emerge from the people closest to the problem.

Helping organisations grow in wholeheartedness – to become less at war with themselves, their obstacles, imbalances, and contradictions identified and owned, value and meaning created through authentic engagement.

And removing what stands in the way of becoming a Deliberately Adaptive Organisation, business agility at every scale:
