The System

Some of the ideas on which this tool is built.


Managing complexity

Teams are complex systems. Agility and high performance requires the alignment of the ability to act, the right resources, effective communication and trust. To raise it’s game a team must keep evolving all these aspects simultaneously. New tools will require updated processes, which will in turn cause roles to evolve which will cause relationships between team members to shift. The process of developing agility and performance is a constant feedback loop between all these aspects.
The
Navigator
⁠
has been designed to make each of these elements visible, enabling teams to sense and respond to to their most immediate shared challenges.

The Quadrants

⁠

⁠
Our model uses a set of four quadrants. These four quadrants appear in many different systems, under many different names, but they roughly equate to “When/where, What, How and Why”, or action, resources, information and emotion.

The perspectives

⁠
To add another dimension to our measurement, we divide the quadrants into three different levels, each representing a different perspective.

The Continuous Change Navigator

Dividing the quadrants into three levels defines 12 zones. The questions we ask assign a score for each zone. By identifying the strongest and weakest zones it is possible to take small, targeted, measurable interventions. Keep repeating the process, and the impact of each intervention can be measured... revealing the next area to improve.
