SO WHAT...NOW WHAT?

The intense dynamic of today’s VUCA worldmeans that leaders have a greater responsibility to lead transformation.

Did you know that 90% of what

we know about the human brain

was only discovered in the last seven years?

The physiology of our brain hasn’t changed in over 200,000 years.We are HARD WIRED to respond to threat or loss in a primal way.

In our VUCA world

change is the new NORMAL

Organisations are made up of PEOPLE.THREAT comes at a cost to the

organisation.Reduce the threat...

Optimise the performance of our PEOPLE.

SO we now have a HARD SCIENCE to evaluate the human response to change.

We can take a closer look at human performance and what we experience at

the time of our ‘productivity dip’.

With our new insights through brain science, we can ‘unpack’ what’s going on in here!

AND...how to optimise human performance.

Hidden COST to

organisation

often not

measured

LOSS AVERSION is hard wired.

We are (only) HUMAN.

OPTIMISING HUMAN PERFORMANCE

AWARENESS translates to ACTION

David Rock’s SCARF model provides a

valuable framework to understand and

label our primal threat triggers and

responses.

Let’s explore a people-centred approach to inform our transformation

planning.People-centred insights are often

missing in a change planning process.

The TWO key benefits
