What we do couldn’t be effectively summed up in one word so we
needed to create one, hence Predaptive:
Predaptive prē´-đap´-tiv adjective & noun. To change things
for the better, to change ahead of the competition, a special
organisation, someone who makes a real difference, world
class, leader, practical. pre, before (1) in front, (2) before
in time, in advance (3) to the highest level, surpassingly [L.
prae, in front of] daptive, from adaptive to make suitable,
changeable [L. adaptare-ad to fit]
For a life around the corner is our strap line and something
that attempts to sum up the way we work.
The future can’t be predicted only anticipated and prepared
for.
Predaptive Organisations are preparing for that future by
getting things right today. Also a life around the corner
implies more than doing the numbers, or hitting the targets.
Predaptive People look at the more rounded picture, they input
into their own future by engaging with today.
What Do We Do?
Predaptive work with organisations in the UK and Europe on
organisational change and development projects.
Our work centres around the interrelationship of 6 driving
forces for change grouped within two parameters sets:
This is known as our 6corners™ model.
Not only do we help manage the change issues connected to these
6 drivers, we also can blend our solutions using a mix of
different interventions and also use
technology to really
embed the changes/learning required.
Who Are We?
The people in Predaptive have been working together for over 5
years, many of our clients have been with us even longer. It’s
only in 2003 that we decided to give our work a higher profile
and create a distinctive identity for what we do.
We try to work and live as ‘Predaptively’ as possible that
means doing the following:
- Putting our clients first. We know that service starts with
getting the basics right, first time. Only then look can you
do the extras. Customer delight is founded on the fundamentals
done faultlessly (it goes without saying), followed by some
pleasant surprises. We are passionate about serving our
clients in this way.
- Doing work our clients are proud of. We want our clients to
succeed from our contribution. Our research, experience and
involvement ensures that our work will positively impact on
your organisation.
- Being obsessed about context. At all stages we understand
the project within the context of the need, the client, the
marketplace, the macro-economic drivers, the people, etc, etc.
By constantly referencing the need against the context, we
will never sell a client anything - they will only buy what is
absolutely right.
- Doing work we’re proud of. We complete our best work when we
are enjoying a true partnership with our clients. Going
through the motions is something we simply do not do.
- Having a point of view. We are always actively listening.
However, if we see or hear anything that contradicts with
our point of view and experience, we will say so and engage in
a vigorous debate. That sometimes means challenging our
clients (interestingly there seems to be a relationship
between regular challenging and it becoming a long-term
relationship). It also has occasionally means declining work
because we believe we wouldn’t deliver value doing it in the way
the client wants, or its approach doesn’t sit well with us
ethically.
- Keeping our learning ahead of our clients. We have long-term
relationships with our clients, based on mutual learning and
growth. Many of our clients move so fast that unless we keep
ahead of them we will fail to add value making the need for
our learning to be even more vertical imperative.
- Trying not to take ourselves too seriously. The work is
hugely important to us but when we’re working intensively with
a client to meet a deadline or the project is at a key phase,
or something has changed at the last minute, a sense of humour
goes long way.
