How do you ensure your organisation remains adaptable and resilient in a rapidly changing industry?

SquareBear Technology was recently approached to contribute to a publication to answer this question: How do you ensure your organisation remains adaptable and resilient in a rapidly changing industry?

Our answer?

We live in a world where customers’ needs and wants are changing rapidly, and at the same time technology is developing at an unprecedented pace.?Organizations are reliant on the fast and accurate detection of customer sentiment and delivery of impactful solutions.

The mechanics between sensing a change in the market and responding to the opportunity needs to be efficient. This has everything to do with how the organisation has set itself up to see, hear, understand and connect with its customers and community.

Teams who want to design and deliver solutions quickly and effectively are challenged to adopt coordinated work processes that support fidelity to the design to avoid a gradual failure of product-market?fit and ultimately product failure. This requires us to go beyond traditional collaboration arrangements to reach a fuller multimodality in cross functional teams.

Work processes should be created with a specific focus on reducing manual handling and effort in translation of work between key product domains, allowing for more time and effort to instead be used for value generation. For example, between designers and developers, developers and project managers, product managers and project managers etc.

When done right, this not only improves the quality and speed of work, but also reduces risk and cost of the solution.
