Adaptagility: Overcoming Biological Resistance to Change
As biological creatures, we are wired to respond to change, and our ability to do so has enabled our species to thrive. In “Adaptagility”, Derrick Mains leverages this essential insight, honed from nearly three decades as a leading operational consultant, to forge a unique approach to process, systems, and change. Derrick’s method not only focuses on the boardroom but also tackles the instinctual barriers created by human evolution and biology that cause change to fail.
Mains’ methodology revolves around the concept of “adaptagility,” the ability to swiftly and efficiently adapt to new situations or challenges with both flexibility and nimbleness. By understanding the limbic reaction to change deeply embedded in human biology, Derrick builds a culture that embraces a nimble approach to organizational transformation. His work has influenced hundreds of companies, from Fortune 10 giants to family-owned businesses, resulting in reduced costs, increased automation, and earning the full support of employees and stakeholders.
By embracing Mains’ adaptagility approach, leaders can achieve their desired outcomes while also providing benefits to employees such as reduced stress, elimination of chaos, more opportunities for advancement, bonuses, raises, and a voice in the work they do. By understanding the interplay between our innate evolutionary response and change in the workplace, we can create an environment where resistance to change is minimal, and where change is instead welcomed as a relief. Discover the power of adaptagility and revolutionize the way your organization embraces change in the ever-evolving business landscape.
