Organizational Transformation: Necessity for Sustainable Growth

In the current VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) world, lifecycles of business model are getting shortened
by frequent disruptions and dislocations across industries. These require businesses to adopt sustainable strategies that can
withstand widespread ambiguity in the business world. The organizations need to define their purpose, link them to their
strategic priorities and drive purpose by transforming themselves across several key dimensions.
Accenture has conducted proprietary research to showcase how organizations may transform themselves and tread a path of
sustainable growth. There are three key areas which drive sustainable growth for an organization and these are:
Market relevance
Leadership development
Distinctiveness of capabilities
Market relevance: Predicting the shift in technology, markets and consumer preferences and creating the next basis of
competition in the industry even while nurturing an existing business that has not yet peaked.
Leadership development: Defining the skills and capabilities needed by organizations to meet their business strategy and goals
in a sustainable way.
Distinctiveness of capabilities: Defining the organization structure, processes, systems and traits needed for high performance
and sustainable growth.
It is therefore of paramount importance that organisations gear themselves up to continuously introspect, evaluate, evolve and
reinvent strategies to transform for sustenance and growth. Responding to this growing need, GEO is delighted to present to
professional fraternity in association with Accenture, the 5th HR Convention on Organizational Transformation Necessity for
Sustainable Growth, on 13th Dec. 2014 in Vadodara.
The program will involve business leaders from multiple sectors covering Industry, Academia, Consultancy & Govt. sharing
their perspectives and experiences on the theme.
