What opportunities lie within your organization's roles waiting to be unlocked?

Around the Organization (ATO) is a program within Nikoleta & Associates Strategic Research practice that studies and captures organizations and roles. This segment focuses on the functional persona via pressure points and the future evolution of the role. While helpful in scoping roles, the persona also offers opportunities for enhanced clarity, decision-making, and collaboration day to day.

We find it is best contemplated within the context of creating a healthy organization aligned with strategy and organizational goals. Consistent with our systems thinking approach, we look to integrate the myriad of connection points to service the whole organization and the ecosystems within which the firm operates. And once we complete one round, also be ready for it all to change basis future trajectories and business evolution.
