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.
The pressure points highlights the challenges and obstacles that individuals within the functional persona may encounter. The importance of the pressure points is aimed to provide guidance towards the overall wellbeing of the functional persona.
The overview takes a deeper dive into the functional persona by integrating a holistic perspective. This section highlights the unique characteristics, capabilities, and the central role that the functional persona plays within the organizational ecosystem.
The future evolution considers the ever-evolving landscape of market trends and how they intersect with the trajectory of the functional persona. It does not only forecast, but also aims to prepare and shape the functional persona to the change.
