adapt or die.

Adaptation is the adjustment of organisms to their environment in order to improve their chances of survival. Your organizations also has to adapt to your environment–shifting markets, dynamic customer needs,  and changing technologies– or you risk obsolescence. 

To evolve from where you are now into something more nimble, you’ll have to go through an adaptive valley. You adopt new tools, processes, practices, relationships, and mindsets in this phase. The adaptive valley inherently comes with disorder, but the disorder is temporary.

Our evo.IQ Model™ is a structured approach to help you quickly and systematically move through the adaptive valley and evolve with intent. It helps you focus your goals, hone your skills, communicate more effectively, continuously experiment, learn through feedback cycles, and embrace a growth mindset. And don’t worry; it won’t take millions of years.
