PARTNERSHIP

Building tomorrow’s agile organisations

The current economic downturn accelerates the need for workplace innovation, to create a more agile organisation.  Analysts estimate¹ this can deliver immediate NPV savings of $10-16m per 1,000 employees. 

Drawing on 10 years of research-based programmes with some of the world’s best-known employers who have retained Ci as R&D Partners, we provide a package of strategic and practical support to help achieve greater agility.

The programmes encompass:

1. Agile Working: Maximising the use of flexible and agile work arrangements, to build responsiveness and reduce fixed costs.
2. Inspiring Performance: Future-focused conversations as a route to achieve trust, engagement and mobilisation of talent.
3. The Digital Generation: Using technology, including social media, to enhance collaboration across cultures and generations.

The Ci Partnership is for ambitious leaders and HR professionals who want to make their organization more inspiring, who need better data to prove their case and a more sophisticated approach to organisational change. The Partners are a dynamic network of top international employers who use the Ci team as a source of best-practice intelligence and a catalyst for change.

Every Ci Partner has a bespoke package of support from the Ci team. Projects are based on the latest thinking in change management. This combines a strong research basis with the use of creative arts and a deep understanding of what motivates and inspires people.

The Ci team delivers high-quality research data, creates a secure non-competing environment for sharing ideas and then develops practical tools to support the required change.
