Using BeSciAI
BeSciAI brings behavioural intelligence to how you work.
You are limited by your imagination. These examples inspire you to see the difference BeSciAI can bring to your work.
Using BeSciAI
The portfolio pressure
Too many initiatives, not enough capacity
The problem
Like many Global FMCG organisations, our client found themselves on the post-pandemic, political and economic roller coaster. To add to the complexity and uncertainty talks of a merger were on the horizon
With increased pressure on profit delivery and weakening sales performance the pressure to do more with less had intensified.
The realisation
The Chief Transformation Officer felt the high levels of change fatigue and knew something had to change in order for them to adapt to the new reality.
One of their HR executives had experienced the team at BeSciAI and made the introductions.
The benefit of BeSciAI
BeSciAI quickly assesses the portfolio, current situation and political dynamics using readily available data supplemented by interviewing the CTO.
The signals were clear. Which initiatives were likely to succeed, fail, or partially adopt, the likely impact on their ROI and why.
The CTO had clarity of what should continue, what needed to change and what should stop, enabling reallocation of their strategic resources to what mattered most; protecting profit, creating flexibility and focusing effort.
The bonus: They gained the confidence and skills to reframe the way their executive colleagues were thinking.
Now, they are democratising sensemaking, bringing behavioural intelligence into their strategic initiatives from the beginning, where it belongs.
Using BeSciAI
Strategy to adoption
Creating an organic pull for adoption
The problem
Middle managers within a technology giant are caught between a rock and a hard place.
Their teams feel both the threat and excitement of AI and the impact it will have on their jobs. They know AI will transform the way they write code and deliver for their clients.
With a global reach it is hard to quickly deliver the management and leadership training that will help their teams through the roller coaster of uncertainty. Most were simply ‘too busy’.
The realisation
The Strategy office had taken delivery of BeSciAI to augment their Behavioural Intelligence Bootcamps and were using it in the field.
Unprompted, in a meeting, a manager shared the difficulties their team was having and the strategist, a specialist in adoption, suggested they ask the integral BeSciAI coach.
The advice was practical, tactical and easy to adopt. Access to the coach quickly spread by word of mouth using social proof.
The benefit of BeSciAI
BeSciAI is being pulled into the organisation organically and has avoided the risk of being seen as a HR or corporate platform.
Although initially intended to be used by the strategy transformation teams, BeSciAI is quickly becoming the most popular leadership advisor. The CHRO regularly mentions BeSciAI in their updates.
Using BeSciAI
The threat of AI
Using BeSciAI to write the next chapter in a firms long legacy
The problem
Financial, business and legal service firms quickly appreciated the impact that AI would have on their organisation and their value streams.
Many operate traditionally based on billable hours as a measure of success. With AI achieving results in hours instead of weeks, their clients expect to see savings, threatening their revenue income.
The partner structure in most firms leads to silo based behaviours, complex political and cultural dynamics with power being unevenly distributed.
The realisation
The newly appointed CIO, was tasked with transforming their firm to become AI native, and to retain their position as being one of the most innovative in their field.
They needed something different, unusual to cope with a strategic and cultural transformation, whilst recognising and navigating their long history and identity.
The benefit of BeSciAI
One size rarely fits all, and most transformation teams built for optimisation and their own convenience. BeSciAI optimises for adoption instead.
With BeSciAI, the organisation can quickly run scenarios of the most effective and likely to be adopted approaches, keeping the culture and the essence of the firm intact.
BeSciAI helps the partners feel in control and translate the firms vision into their own.
Using BeSciAI
A new normal
Creating a legacy and transforming an organisation coping with a crisis.
The problem
A public services organisation knew they were in trouble, financially and in their service delivery. A new CEO had been brought in to ‘fix’ the rot, a visionary leader.
Recognising leadership capacity and capability as one of their biggest constraints, the CEO set out to transform the top 300 leaders, globally. To create transformational leaders who could take the organisation into the next decade and become an AI enabled organisation.
The realisation
The L&D team, tasked with transforming the leaders, were looking for something different, unique, impactful.
They knew that their leaders were focused on fixing the problems and were worried that traditional event and cohort based approaches had not delivered the difference they were looking for. They had great success in the events, but the impact faded quickly.
They approached the team behind BeSciAI.
The benefit of BeSciAI
Instead of taking their leaders away from their teams, they could deploy BeSciAI quickly, effectively and at scale.
It adapts to each leader, their need, their style, their capacity and capability to give tailored wise advice, to help them navigate the competing priorities and complex organisation to be more inspirational and persuasive.
The aspiration to touch the top 300 leaders has become broader to include the full 5,000+ in leadership and supervisory roles.
Using BeSciAI
A day in the life
How BeSciAI fits into your strategy and transformation process
Start with a Vision
Clarity matters and it starts with a common vision that has the conviction of your leaders
BeSciAI assesses the gap between the vision and your leaders actions to highlight gaps which will impact strategy realisation. Identifying the behavioural indicators early allows you to build the conviction needed, or adjust your aspirations to the conviction you have.
Build your strategy
Strategy is about choices. Where and how you choose to invest your strategic resources to achieve your vision. The phrase ‘culture eats strategy for breakfast’ exists because many strategies are built rationally, not irrationally taking behavioural intelligence into account.
BeSciAI assesses your culture, your history, your competing priorities and capacity to inform your strategy and suggest ways to achieve your strategic outcomes in ways that are more natural and organic and improves adoptability. This reduces the shock to the system and the resistance that you often face.
Strategy blueprint
Run with the horse before you change its direction. If you want to achieve faster, longer lasting results, work with your organisation not against it.
BeSciAI uses its behavioural intelligence to quickly build blueprints and roadmaps that you can deploy to your team, customised by division, function or area. It gives you the leading indicators of potential constraints or opportunities to accelerate, tailored to your environment.
Portfolio choices
Your strategic aspiration is often greater than the capacity you have to adopt it. In volatile and uncertain competitive environments things change quickly and what you set out to achieve may no longer be relevant, or a priority.
BeSciAI looks at the levels of conviction your initiatives have, their importance, the demand on your teams, the capacity level and your blind spots - the signs you don’t want to see. It applies behavioural intelligence to give you a portfolio assessment to inform your choices, what you should start, stop, reframe or continue.
Intelligence cockpit
The sooner you spot the signs, the sooner you can address the problem, or take advantage of opportunities. Be proactive, use your behavioural radar.
BeSciAI tracks the leading indicators and uses its behavioural intelligence to interpret whether you are still on track, or not, enabling conversations to happen earlier, reducing surprises and focusing your teams effort where there is the greatest return
Tough conversations
One of the biggest factors in value loss is a human reluctance to have a tough conversation. It creates fear in most leaders and teams, and they avoid it.
BeSciAI builds your soft skills of navigating tough conversations, mirroring a stakeholders style and being more persuasive whilst building trust. Adapting to your unique situation, stakeholders and starting point, BeSciAI increases your impact and confidence.
Leading change
Leadership is the #1 factor in adoption success. You can achieve as much change as you have the leadership conviction for. Leaders rarely go to leadership school and often lack good role models in leading change.
BeSciAI is an expert in leading change. Adapting individually to each leader, BeSciAI builds their authentic conviction, their leadership skills and acts as their critical friend whilst feeling less judgemental than a human coach.
Leave a legacy
Organisations often struggle to learn from strategic initiatives and their outcomes, good or bad. Each team learns the same lessons over and over again.
BeSciAI learns for you: what worked, what didn’t, how the political and cultural dynamics showed up, and uses it to inform your vision or support you in building your strategy.
The circle is complete.
