Our world is in a constant state of flux. Technologies are rapidly evolving, social demographics are changing, markets are shifting, disruptive forces are everywhere. Leading in this volatile and dynamic age requires re-imagining organizations and how business gets conducted in the Digital Era.

Today many business leaders rely on high priced consulting firms to help inform and decide what they feel is best for them. These firms typically conduct a short engagement to create a multiyear plan that would lead their clients to a new “promised land.” Their rigid, linear problem-solving approach typically produces a large deck for executives with a grandiose plan.   Once the formal readout occurs; they disappear and soon enough, something changes. The consulting firm partners have made their money, they have had their people utilized, and they can tell other clients stories of “best practices” that they have gleaned from YOUR business.

That model, we feel, no longer works in a world where volatility, uncertainty, and ambiguity are the new norms. There is no magical playbook.  Even if one were to be developed:  it would be expensive to create, it will be challenging to implement, and its relevance and its usefulness would decay rapidly.

Conducting business in a dynamic highly connected world requires a new mindset. Cause-and-effect approaches and rigid rules no longer apply.  The mechanistic models that organizations once relied on have produced siloed teams with static structures and rigid governance.   In the past realization of strategy required charismatic top down leaders who managed by edict and control.  Our experience informs us that real transformation is NOT accomplished by deep planning and grandiose programs with a predetermined set of prescriptive actions. It would be easy if everything was neat and tidy, but the hard truth is that real, meaningful change is messy.

We at Zentrasys strive to be a different management consulting firm based on what is often referred to as consulting with “skin in our clients's game.”  We focus on our clients goals, not ours.   We are not always experts in our client business, they are.  We view our role is to elicit ideas, provoke thinking, and challenge assumptions.   We believe that innovation though rapid experimentation are necessary to foster a growth mindset and a collaborative culture.  We engage by partnering with our clients to build competencies and capabilities at the appropriate scale, based on realizable value.

We achieve this by building organizational courage and momentum by crafting a unifying vision, taking informed and calculated risks, and working side-by-side with our clients to achieve results. We understand that conditions change, problems arise, and setbacks occur.  We proactively address any barriers to success.  Our commitment is to be open and honest to adapt to changing circumstances.

Simply stated:

• Our mission is to serve.
• We desire to learn and grow.
• We are excited about co-creating the future.
• We are committed to long-term success.
• We will enjoy the journey.

It is in the end, all about working together with our clients on achieving our purpose and mindfully to bring meaningful business impact.
