    Is Your Transformational Team Ready to Innovate and Navigate Change?

    Why This Matters

    A recent ground-breaking study identified two critical behavioural patterns that determine whether a team can innovate:

    Sense–Think–Act (STA): Determines how well a team can process change, generate innovative ideas, and take decisive action. 

    Ponder–Enact–Play (PEP): is how effectively a team can reflect, adapt, and collaborate creatively to innovate and sustain the changes.

    By completing this assessment, you’ll uncover where your team excels—and where barriers to innovation may be holding you back. Get ready to gain insights, strategies, and actionable recommendations to elevate your organization’s change-readiness. 

    In less than 5 minutes from now, you will receive critical feedback that will help you determine your team's readiness to innovate and make free recommendations on how to advance it. 

    It can never hurt to get a second opinion. Are you ready for this one?

    {Q1low} → It seems that your team may not always have structured processes for gathering or acting on stakeholder feedback. Without these insights, decisions might not always align with the broader needs of the organization. Consider incorporating regular check-ins or feedback loops to create stronger alignment. A simple but effective approach is stakeholder listening sessions—a strategy that can transform resistance into collaboration. n 
    {Q1med} → Your team seems to recognize the value of stakeholder input, though there may be times when feedback is collected but not fully integrated into decision-making. Strengthening this link between insight and action could lead to better alignment and more innovative solutions. One way to do this is by using collaborative decision-making frameworks, such as co-creation workshops, to ensure input actively shapes strategy. n 
    {Q1high} → Your team appears intentional about engaging stakeholders and using their insights to shape decisions. This proactive approach helps minimize resistance and improve buy-in. If you’re looking for ways to enhance engagement further, consider developing a stakeholder advisory panel or using real-time feedback tools to deepen your connection with those impacted by change.n 

    {Q2low}→ There may be great ideas floating around, but they might not always gain traction or make it to implementation. This can be frustrating, especially when opportunities for improvement are recognized but not acted upon. Establishing a structured pathway for testing and refining ideas—such as a 90-day innovation sprint—could help turn potential into progress. n 
    {Q2med} → Your team seems open to innovation, but there might be inconsistencies in how frequently new ideas are pursued or implemented. Sometimes, the challenge isn’t a lack of ideas but a process to prioritize and execute them. Strengthening your team’s idea-to-action pipeline could ensure more ideas see the light of day. n 
    {Q2high} → Your team appears to be proactive in testing and implementing ideas, which is a strong indicator of a culture that values innovation. To maintain momentum, consider scaling your efforts through cross-functional innovation teams or structured opportunities for ongoing experimentation. n 

    {Q3low} → Taking risks can feel daunting, especially in environments where stability is prioritized over change. If there’s hesitation to try new things, creating safer spaces for low-risk experimentation may be helpful—where small tests provide learning without significant consequences. A culture of 'fail-forward learning' can transform fear into growth. n 
    {Q3med} → Your team seems open to trying new things, though there may be a natural hesitation when the stakes feel high. Strengthening your team’s ability to frame risk as a learning opportunity could help build confidence in experimentation. One way to do this is by incorporating pilot programs before full-scale rollouts. n 
    {Q3high} → It looks like your team is comfortable taking risks and testing new approaches—an essential trait for driving innovation. To further reinforce this, consider implementing structured post-experiment debriefs to extract and share lessons learned across the organization. n 

    {Q4low} → It can be challenging to step back and evaluate how changes will impact different stakeholders, especially when the focus is on execution. Building in moments for reflection and stakeholder mapping could help the team anticipate resistance and adapt more smoothly. n 
    {Q4med} → Your team recognizes the need for stakeholder awareness but might not always adjust plans based on those insights. Creating structured reflection points during decision-making could ensure these perspectives are fully integrated. n 
    {Q4high} → Your team seems to actively consider and adjust for stakeholder impact, a powerful way to build trust and increase success rates. You might further refine this by introducing co-design strategies, where stakeholders participate in shaping solutions. n 

     

    {Q5low} → When uncertainty arises, adapting quickly can be difficult—especially if the team doesn’t have a clear framework for navigating change. Using scenario planning or adaptive leadership strategies could help build resilience.  n 
    {Q5med} → Your team seems capable of adjusting, though the process may not always be smooth. Enhancing real-time feedback loops and agile planning strategies could help the team pivot more seamlessly.  n 
    {Q5high} → Your team appears highly adaptive, a key asset in today’s fast-changing landscape. To maximize this capability, consider formalizing adaptive strategy playbooks to scale this strength across teams.n  

     

    {Q6low} → Collaboration may not always feel natural or productive, leading to siloed thinking. Creating intentional spaces for creative problem-solving, such as design sprints, could help enhance team synergy. n 
    {Q6med} → Your team works together, but there may be times when not all voices are fully engaged. Gamifying brainstorming sessions or using interactive tools could make collaboration more dynamic. n 
    {Q6high} → Your team appears to have a strong culture of collaboration, where diverse ideas contribute to problem-solving. To expand this, consider hosting cross-team hackathons to bring fresh perspectives into the process. n 
    n 

    {Q7low} → If experimentation feels difficult or discouraged, your organization may be operating in a way that prioritizes predictability over discovery. While stability is valuable, a culture that avoids risk may struggle to innovate and evolve. Creating intentional spaces for experimentation—such as "safe-fail" projects or innovation n retrospectives—could help shift this mindset and encourage forward-thinking risk-taking.
    {Q7med} → Your organization seems to appreciate creativity, but risk-taking may not yet be fully embraced. Teams might generate ideas but hesitate to act on them. Encouraging small-scale pilot projects could help make innovation more manageable and less intimidating. Consider exploring The Fearless Organization by Amy Edmondson to develop strategies that foster greater psychological safety around experimentation. n 
    {Q7high} → It sounds like your organization not only values creativity but also supports the kind of bold experimentation that leads to breakthrough innovations. This is a powerful foundation. To take it further, consider scaling innovation efforts by leveraging cross-functional collaboration sessions or internal "innovation labs" that challenge teams to push boundaries in a structured way. n 

    {Q8low} → If employees hesitate to share their thoughts, it may suggest an environment where feedback feels risky or goes unheard. This can limit innovation and slow down adaptability. A great starting point is introducing psychological safety training for leaders and structured ways for employees to voice concerns—such as anonymous feedback tools or facilitated discussion forums.  n 
    {Q8med} → Your team seems to have some channels for communication, but not all voices may feel equally valued, or feedback may not consistently lead to action. Creating a bi-monthly leadership listening session, where executives publicly respond to employee feedback and outline next steps, could help reinforce a culture of responsiveness and accountability.  n 
    {Q8high} → Your organization appears to value and act on feedback, fostering trust and transparency during times of change. To expand this strength, consider formalizing a crowdsourced innovation initiative where employees contribute, vote on, and prototype new ideas—ensuring that feedback not only shapes discussions but also drives real change.  n 

    {Q9low} → When leadership is inconsistent or unclear during transitions, it can create confusion and disengagement. If teams struggle with direction, developing leaders' ability to communicate vision and strategy more effectively could help. A Leadership Imagination Workshop could be a game-changer, equipping managers with tools to lead change in a more dynamic and engaging way.  n 
    {Q9med} → Your leaders appear to provide some guidance, but teams may not always feel fully supported during times of change. Ensuring regular, structured leadership updates—such as weekly check-ins or clear change roadmaps—could help bridge any gaps in alignment and confidence.  n 
    {Q9high} → Your leadership team is actively engaged in guiding change, which is a key driver of successful transformation. To take this even further, you might explore cross-departmental mentorship programs, where experienced leaders help develop emerging change-makers—ensuring your organization remains agile and innovative over time.  n
