In today’s environment, organisations aren’t failing because they lack strategy.
They’re struggling because they lack adaptive capacity — the ability to stay regulated, connected, and learning under sustained pressure.
Constant change, restructuring, shifting priorities, and increasing pace can stretch the human system thin. Over time, this leads to patterns like:
- rising conflict and reactivity
- decision bottlenecks or paralysis
- burnout and quiet quitting
- siloing and loss of psychological safety
- resistance disguised as compliance
These are not individual “performance issues.”
They are system signals — indicators of how the organisation’s nervous system is coping.
