How do I create a resilient and flexible organization? // How do I break through endless decision-making processes? // How do we make clear agreements with eachother? // How do I cut through the ‘yes, but what if…’ syndrome? // How do I lead an effective meeting? // How do I steer an organization like a bicycle?

In the past few decades, organizations have improved and renewed themselves in many ways. But one area in which there has been strikingly little innovation, is in the ways in which meetings are conducted, in how decisions are made and in what the core elements of the organizational structure are. Even though this is at the heart of organizations, this is still a blindspot for many of them. Realize! has been experimenting for years with innovative methods of organizing, collaborating, conducting meetings, and making decisions, and has identified a number of powerful best practices. The point of departure is always the development of agile and resilient organizations in which talent and passion yield optimal returns for all stakeholders. Depending on needs and circumstances, we create momentum with a workshop, embed adaptive capacity in the core of the organization in a Holacracy implementation, or think along on issues around organizational development and growth, working climate and social capital, or strategy and innovation in the context of societal challenges.

SHORT WORKSHOPS In response to specific questions or issues, Realize! designs short workshops using the methods and tools at our disposal. In this way, we immediately get to work on an actual problem, giving you a taste of our way of working. Examples include: Questions around strategy and vision A more effective way of conducting meetings A creative brainstorm Operational tensions We can also offer workshops around the methods and tools we use.

HOLACRACY IMPLEMENTATION As official licensee, Realize! is one of the first organizations in Europe capable of implementing Holacracy. Implementations are flexible, tailor-made, and not time-consuming (on the contrary). During an intake conversation, we explore the ‘fit’ with strategy and needs. Depending on needs and circumstances we help implement more effective meeting practices, a more flexible organizational structure, and clear business processes around questions such as: How do we make decisions? Who makes which decisions? How do we make changes in our policies and structure? [View the brochure]
