Many organizations want to know what the organization will look like after the transformation process even before it begins. But that can’t be predicted. What you need instead is an organic process and a strong balance between standardization and openness.

Many companies have realized that they need to transform in order to remain viable. And many are searching for the one right answer to the question of what the organization and work of the future will look like.

Accordingly, every organization needs its own operating system. To solve this challenge, there is the Loop Approach: it helps develop operating systems and search for and discover new practices for the work of the future. The Loop Approach is a framework that helps individuals and teams make good, purposeful decisions in their own transformation process. And it brings order to the chaos of all the tools, concepts, and buzzwords floating around in the world of new work.

Decades of consulting from McKinsey and the Boston Consulting Group have left their mark.

This is followed by a phase in which the client gradually comes to the realization that transformation does not proceed linearly, but rather requires a framework that is evolutionary in itself. Today, it is not predictable what the step after the step after the next step will look like. Accordingly, it is also impossible to foresee what the organization will look like in one, two, or even five years. In the end, the realization comes that transformation toward a new mindset does not emerge exclusively top-down, but through an organic process. Accordingly, change should also unfold through many small, intelligent, and unpredictable decisions made by many people involved. Agile, in other words.

Of course, that doesn’t mean we completely abandon a defined process and clear structures. The Loop Approach is a process that creates a clearly bounded space for action while simultaneously not dictating what the organization should look like at the end. It continuously allows small, divergent decisions, while ensuring that the right questions
