Management texts urge large organisations to engage in ‘creative destruction’ or ‘cannibalistic re-invention’. Hothousing is the radical Capgemini methodology that enables your organisation to do so – creating outstanding results with a proven, effective and powerful approach.
Hothousing was first proven in retail environments and has since been deployed successfully across a range of sectors and organisation structures. Partly inspired by the creative success of ‘skunkworks’ - liberated, rule-exempt, unfettered teams who can produce outstanding successes. Hothousing combines the power of creativity with the effectiveness of consulting disciplines.
Do, Review, Do Again
Giving teams’ freedom to experiment is great:-
- IF they bond enough to start working effectively
- IF they keep track of what’s working, and
- IF they can capitalise on successes.
The secret of successful Hothousing then is to unleash the creative powers of those that know the business best, supported by experienced coaches, skilled facilitators and motivated implementers.
Transformation Leadership brings core competencies in essential skills that ensure the success of Hothousing programmes, such as:-
- rapid process improvement
- benefits realisation and performance management
- collaborative group working
- building high performance teams
- hypothesis development
- democratic facilitation
- operating model design
Sharing these techniques and skills with teams of your staff accelerates the path towards innovation, problem-solving and broader business transformation.
With this support, teams get swiftly in to their creative stride, implement ideas quickly, evaluate effectively, prove concepts and identify areas for improvement – then iterate. The result is fast-paced, highly productive, high-speed evolution of optimal business solutions.
Hothousing Cubed – Runaway Growth
Capgemini’s Transformation Leadership team applies Hothousing with the expertise of running very large, very complex programmes. If Hothousing is powerful, running parallel Hothousing streams accelerates the process further and creates additional opportunities for cross-fertilisation and idea generation.
Hothousing is not a ‘cookie-cutter’ approach - Transformation Leadership designs each Hothousing programme to fit specific business needs.
