Systemic Strategic Management, Business Transformation, and Development Consultancy 1.Systemic Strategic Management is understanding how different parts of a system can influence one another within a whole. Systemic thinking, unlike analytical thinking, requires multiple skill sets to establish a holistic view of our operating system and explain its behaviour. Consistent with systems philosophy, systemic thinking concerns an understanding of a system by examining the linkages and interactions between the elements that comprise the whole of the system. In practice this means exploring inter-relationships (context and connections), perspectives (each role has their own unique perception of the situation) and boundaries (agreeing on scope, scale and what might constitute an improvement). Systemic thinking is particularly useful in addressing complex problems like the rising costs of consumer protection and the prevention of future harm within the financial services sector. 2.Business Transformation is a systemic and integrated management approach which is business driven and values oriented. Business Transformation can provide an overarching framework for multiple management disciplines such as business process architecture, communications, change and project management, data, and insight, leadership, and strategy. Business Transformation is the critical bridge between partial installation and full implementation of transformation initiatives and is essential to the delivery of sustained benefit and culture change. Systemic Strategic Management, Business Transformation, and Development Consultancy can include new end to end business processes, teams and relationships, creating and utilising new capabilities, enhancing employee competencies, interrupting existing patterns of thinking and instigating powerful, sustainable change in behaviour, attitudes and shared values in pursuit of the desired culture shift. 3.Successful delivery partners must be able to demonstrate thought leadership and the capacity and capability i.e. the right people, skills, tools, and approach to provide timely strategic services, advice, and guidance on: a)Strategy – for today and tomorrow; b)Environment - organisational design/ redesign, organisational development, business process transformation, analysis, and redesign of service improvement; c)Leadership – building the leadership capability to deliver on our strategy for today and tomorrow. 4.Successful partners will be expected to utilise specialist practitioners and in collaboration with the FSCS People Team engage with clients across organisational boundaries to support a range of activities. Moreover, because complex adaptive systems are continually evolving, demonstrable experience and expertise in systems thinking is required to enable organisational and social learning – and adaptive management.
