In this episode Graeme and Buhle delve deep into the topic of organisational design and the essential components leaders need to consider to build successful and effective businesses that will thrive in the future.

In an interview with adaptive leadership expert, Keith Coats, Graeme unpacks why there has been a shift toward meaningful relationships both inside and outside of organisations, and how navigating these connections can be leveraged to gain competitive advantage.

Graeme and Buhle talk about the practicalities of becoming bionic within organisational structures. Graeme interviews psychologist and author, Tamryn Batcheller-Adams, about her book and they discuss how bold leadership intersects with successful organisational design in the connection economy.

Key questions: which parts of our businesses need transformation and how will we go about making the required changes? Are we holding onto ways of organising and leading that are no longer effective? Are we open to change?

In this episode, Buhle and Graeme discuss how organisations are designed, and how we need to do a lot more than merely optimise existing organisations. We need to re-evaluate how our organisations are structured - maybe even re-imagine them - and design future-fit organisations that can deal with whatever comes our way in the rest of this decade and into the 2030s. 

Buhle interviews Chief Exploration Officer at TomorrowTodayConsulting, Dean van Leeuwen, about organisational strategy. They discuss our 3D Strategy Model, which provides a structured approach to complex business challenges. Dean also talks about how the culture of our organisations is essential, maybe even more than our strategies.

We live in a moment of unique opportunity, of deep, structural change and we are poised to take advantage of such opportunity and turn it into success for our futures. 

As global futurists, we know that experience, expertise and education are not good enough to ensure success in a context of exponential and disruptive change. Leaders need more than a few inspiring stories, new ideas and improved skills. Rather we need a series of “firmware upgrades,” we need to build the ability to rethink and unlearn. And that’s what The TomorrowToday Podcast is all about.

We’re here to guide you, to share tools and resources to expand your strategic imagination, to encourage learning and unlearning and how to lead courageously, because the greatest risk of the 21st Century is that we fail to think and rethink boldly enough to make this century great for everyone.

Welcome to The TomorrowToday Podcast where your hosts, Buhle Dlamini and Graeme Codrington, will be mapping the future of business. That might sound like a bold claim - but that’s what they do as futurists.

As futurists and strategy consultants we’ve made it our job to understand change and how to adapt effectively. The reason we’re starting this podcast is because we believe that leaders, entrepreneurs, and executives need to think differently about how they lead into the future. 

We'll be discussing how business leaders need to go beyond what they currently know in order to ensure their success in the face of extremely disruptive change.
