Transformational. You've probably observed this phrase used frequently in people and culture, business, and strategy.
Transformational is defined as "able to generate a major change or improvement in a situation" by the Cambridge Dictionary. But what does it mean for businesses and their employees? What makes transformation crucial? And is it even necessary?
As we have all recently lived through, the landscape for organisations has arguably changed. From remote or dispersed teams, half empty office buildings, and challenges in team engagement. Not to mention a sharp learning curve in technology and systems that many groups have needed to upskill quickly.
And organisational culture? Who would have predicted a few years ago that "the great resignation", "boreout", and "quiet quitting" would be part of the conversation?
The results are in, and it appears that transformation has occurred whether or not organisations planned for it. And depending on your "glass half full or empty" viewpoint, it has left behind some difficulties or inspiring opportunities.
As the definition states, "transformational" has a positive meaning. It's about significant changes and improvements. And from one angle, there may be some tidying up from the previous few years. However, as the saying goes, never waste a good crisis! So is now the ideal time to implement a significant workplace shift?
Consider this. Transformational experiences bring together all organisation members through learning and development opportunities to advance as a team into a planned and promising future. It creates a workforce program that adheres to a dynamic blueprint that can expand up or down as needed. And this is achieved through a user-friendly system that incorporates even remote and dispersed workforces.
Most individuals traditionally believe that coaching and profound learning experiences are only for "the leaders and managers" or "a day of training", and even the best-intended notes frequently end up in the bottom drawer.
With a need to uplift organisational culture and retention, many organisations are now adopting transformative learning experiences. Additionally, these efforts assist in future-proofing capacity for organisations that want to stay ahead of the curve. Furthermore, your organisation's quality of learning becomes a competitive edge in attracting talent.
In short, this may be the most crucial time to adapt and build organisations that can face the future and positively impact people, communities, and the wider world.
