Building Organisational Agility

Organizational Resilience (OR) OR is “the ability of an organization to anticipate, prepare for, respond and adapt

to incremental change and sudden disruptions in order to survive and prosper.”

It reaches beyond risk management towards a more holistic view of business

health and success. It is one that not merely survives over the long term, but also

flourishes - passing the test of time.

Low Carbon SMEs-



What is knowledge management?

Low Carbon SMEs-



The tacit dimension of knowledge

“We know more than we can tell”

(Michael Polanyi, philosopher)

Low Carbon SMEs-



Source: Skyrme (1999)

Relationship between knowledge and information

Low Carbon SMEs-



Knowledge management:A definition

“supporting and achieving the creation, application, sharing and

retention of knowledge (generally in an organisational context)”

Low Carbon SMEs-



Typical KM problems in organisations:

Duplication of work and ‘reinvention of the wheel’

Knowing what we know and where to locate sources of skill and expertise

Getting people to share their knowledge across organisational boundaries and innovate together

Protecting intellectual property rights

Low Carbon SMEs-


Two approaches to knowledge management

Managing relationships between people

Managing relationships between people & info

People

People Information

Low Carbon SMEs-



Identifying knowledge needs

On your tables, spend 10 minutes identifying

what knowledge, skills and information you

need in the transformation of your organisation

to low carbon

Be prepared to feed back your key points

Low Carbon SMEs-



Staying Competitive via Innovation and

Responding to Environmental Challenges

Presented by- Professor Nicholas Theodorakopoulos School.

Project Academic (Low Carbon SMEs) & Professor of Entrepreneurship Development

and Head of Work and Organisational Psychology Department at Aston University

Low Carbon SMEs-



Reflection

Business Concept:

“What is the product or service we intend to offer?”

“Who are the potential customers?”

“What is the compelling business need that we intend to address?”

“How can environmental management help build competitive

advantage?”

Personal Goals:

“Why am I doing this?”

Low Carbon SMEs-



Common Features to SMEs with Innovative Effort

• More likely product rather than process innovation

• Focussed on niche rather than mass markets

• More likely firms supplying final products rather than component subcontractors

• Both incremental and ‘breakthrough’ innovations

• Internal factors are more important determinants on whether innovation plays a key role in success than external factors

Low Carbon SMEs-



Identifying Innovatory Opportunities

• Creating and communicating an entrepreneurial vision

• Nurturing a culture receptive to change

• Capitalising on relationships with suppliers, customers and

others (e.g. opinion leaders; growth communities)

• Having in place mechanisms for identifying and assessing

opportunities - e.g. Customer visit reports, suggestion boxes and regular

meetings to discuss business opportunities

Theodorakopoulos et al. (2015)

Business

✓ Is there a sufficiently attractive market opportunity?

✓ Is the proposed offering feasible, both from a market and technology perspective?

✓ Can we compete (over a sufficient time horizon): is there sustainable competitive advantage?

✓ Is there the right set of skills and capabilities to exploit this opportunity?

✓ What is the risk / reward profile of this opportunity, and does it justify the investment of time and money?

So We have an Opportunity…

Low Carbon SMEs-



Activity: External Forces

➢ Which are the main forces impacting your business?

- Consider the political/legal, economic/commercial,

social, technological and legal environment

➢ How do you address these forces?
