leading remote enterprises

take strategy into delivery using an operating model and governance system that is optimised for remote or hybrid working and maintain visibility through virtual obeyas

remote strategy

Regardless of whether your teams are fully remote or working in a hybrid fashion, it's critical that they are directionally aligned. With remote:af you can set direction without being in the same room, and then break down your strategy into actionable goals that provide clarity, autonomous decision making and rapid adaptability for your teams.

R:AF Strategy: Take leaders out of 'day to day' management to explore the changes in the ecosystems in which they operate and evolve strategy based on an understanding of natural patterns. Design strategy to respect movement in the competitive and technological landscape and decompose it into actionable objectives.

R:AF Scoring: Use collective approaches based on wisdom of the crowd to determine the likelihood of meeting defined objectives and to design targeted interventions to enable course correction.

remote leadership and governance

To sustainably lead and govern your remote / hybrid teams you need change the way that you lead. Leaders need to focus less on day to day management, and more on managing the flow of work through the organisation and building environments where teams can succeed.

R:AF Leadership: In a remote environment the intangible aspects of leadership (power, politics, rituals and norms) become even less visible. Successful remote organisations seek to make the covert aspects of culture more visible with a focus on mindset, performance, culture and systems.

Effective remote leaders focus on creating environments in which largely autonomous teams can succeed and on managing the spaces between teams and divisions.

remote operating models and governance

In remote or hybrid workplaces that try to keep on doing what worked in the office, organisational silos become chasms and dependencies become blockers. The best remote workplaces develop fit for purpose operating models and governance systems that enable value to flow to the customer.

R:AF Operating Model Design: Successful remote workplaces don't rely on consultants driving big bang organisational change.

They build internal operating model design capability and make small changes to the way they organise to deliver value on cadence with strategy.

R:AF Governance: Successful remote governance requires taking authority closer to the work whilst retaining central control levers.

It demands a sense of responsibility and ownership from all to allow for building greater levels of trust.
