Kovacic Consulting is an Independent Service Boutique which focuses on integrating business | work model development with organisational development in a balanced, economical, and pragmatic way. Special attention is paid to global competencies in general and to capabilities when working with and in emerging | developing markets in specific. A passion of mine is the youth-elder nexus, merging generational diversity of capabilities and thereby enhancing enjoyment as well as productivity on both sides.

I do perform analysis work, support with consultancy, and accompany short-term projects and long-term initiatives in the various “dimensions of organisations” of strategy, organisation, culture, leadership + team development, innovation, and operational excellence. The overall approach is based on three short reflections (1-3) and one key principle (4):

 

Delivering results means effectively bridging the full 360° cycle from initial diagnosis to final delivery. Much good intent and strategic an innovation work fails in the execution phase. Reasonable investments into pro-active “boundary spanning”, i.e. the thoughtful orchestration and alignment of resources and organisational capabilities across “silos” – together with honest feedback loops – are critical.

Effectiveness arises not solely from optimising single parts, but from improving relationships amongst them. A careful (sometimes even “down”) scaling and matching of projects and initiatives, proper pacing and timing can help avoid negative feedback loops. Quite often, less is actually more. This, however, requires a culture of shared understanding and mutuality.

Working off the project or the initiative is not sufficient. Developing permanent and long-term internal capabilities needs to take place simultaneously, rather rapidly, in an economical way and based on immediate needs. This is best done (a) project-based and (b) within the framework of a strategic and modular “curriculum” (for a mock-up see Academy). Material attention should go to methodological abilities directed at exploration, organising connectivity and interdependencies, and dealings with dynamics.

In the face of increasingly limited global resources we need to engage in mutually workable compromises continuously and deliberately: what type and shape of a common future can assure long-term sustainability and safety for all of us. How we approach and solve this is as much a question of our idea of man and nature as, say, one of technological advancements. My target group are hence principled and constructively critical leaders at all levels and their teams who care about delivering organisational and business results as well as about contributing to “Total Impact”.

This assures personal as well as organisational adaptability and is hence a key enabler of long-term resilience.[/vc_toggle]
