Transformation Done Differently
Organizations have the opportunity to thrive in complexity. But how we seize that opportunity demands reinvention.
The Ready is a future-of-work consultancy that drives organizational transformation by taking a systems approach to complex problems. We help you navigate uncertainty with a playbook for change that meets this moment.
Transformation
Done Together
The future of work belongs to organizations that can continually reinvent themselves. At The Ready, we start by starting. Wherever you are on your future-of-work journey, we provide fit-for-purpose programs that support you—teaching new practices that shift behavior over time. Evolutionary change happens inside everyday work, so our services are rooted in embedded partnership and experiential learning. Click the button to explore what we do and how we partner.
Building a resilient culture is about people, the system they operate in, and how the two interact with one another.
Change Happens Here
Change is happening all the time and it’s happening faster and faster. That’s why our mission is to change how the world works—to team up with leaders ready to supplant the status quo across their organization. Prefabricated plans don’t create resilience, so we don’t show up with those. Instead, we co-create a roadmap that equips your teams with the practices and mindset shifts needed to accelerate your impact. To effectively change how we change, we focus on three critical levers in your operating system:
STRUCTURE
We design the organization you need to achieve what you want—architecting fit-for-purpose practices that focus on actual work, not pre-existing org charts, and meet complexity head-on.
STRATEGY
We lead your strategic planning and implementation processes, emphasizing the need to make real trade-offs and to be able to sense and respond to internal and external conditions.
EXECUTION
We instantiate new ways of working—tooling, meeting, deciding, and sharing information—to activate strategy and leverage structure in tandem, bringing change management to life in new, more adaptive ways
Measuring What Matters
A vision for transformation is only meaningful if we can track it. Here are just a few of the impacts our clients have reported:
Running experiments across the organization to alleviate tension resulted in 50-60% more team members describing their culture as effective, positive, and sustainable for their well-being.
Redesigning a new operating rhythm and new meeting structures to address “overload” led to a 33% reduction in the number of 25+ participant meetings, thereby saving ~10-15 hours per meeting.
Installing new decision-making processes, thereby increasing decision-making speed and capacity, equaled labor savings worth ~$70,000-$100,000 per month.
