According to Tata Consultancy, "Organizational Agility" isn't just a buzzword. Organizational Agility is the sustained capability to pivot swiftly—strategy, structure, processes, or technology—towards avenues that create value. And yet, for many, this Agility seems just out of reach.

When it comes to the high-stakes world of digital transformation, we often find ourselves laser-focused on the nuts and bolts: defining outcomes, aligning stakeholders, marshaling resources, and laying strategic plans. These elements are all essential to success, but before we dive into the technicalities, there is another dimension that we must thoroughly explore - our collective organizational mindset.

The Fluid Workforce is Here to Stay

I recently had the honor of being cited in a research paper on the Fluid Workforce by the Capgemini Research Institute. Being able to share my knowledge and insights with a larger platform is always a pleasure and an honor.

But here’s the funny thing: they interviewed me before COVID-19 even hit. It’s quite ironic if you think about it. There I was, sharing my insights about the Fluid Workforce, as we were on the precipice of the Fluid Workforce’s grand revolution.


Let’s address the terminology first. What exactly is the “Fluid Workforce?”

Technology is changing the way humans live, interact, and communicate. We are on the verge of the fourth industrial revolution. Every year, more and more jobs are automated and the fear of being left behind is something many people have. However, the real situation is that technology exists to complement the lives of humans and that includes our work environment. We need to start seeing technology as our co-worker of the future.

Stop, Think, Then Act

There are many times in our day-to-day work that we are confronted with a challenge, but we miss the opportunity. We are either blinded by the challenge or label it as an obstacle and select a reaction from our usual archive of responses. This space between the stimulus and the reaction is the moment of opportunity. It is a moment that requires a new mindset. We can be reactive or creative. How we respond is determined by our perspective. Do we see this new world as one with opportunities, or endless obstacles? If we encounter change and are reactive, there will be a very high price to pay. If an individual can become aware of the moments of opportunity in their work, they can drive agility, be adaptive, remain relevant, and stay ahead of dynamic change.

Seeing Red Cars, Driving Yourself, Your Team and Your Organization to a Positive Future
Berrett-Koehler
June 01, 2011

The book Seeing Red Cars is the based on the 10-minute film based on the metaphor of a red car. Here is the premise: You go out and buy a red car and as you are driving it home, you notice something. Everywhere you look you see red cars—it seems like the only colored car on the road. Why is that? You are focusing on red cars, and therefore you see them in every direction.??The same concept applies to you. At work and in your daily life you get more of whatever you focus on. The problem is that focusing on the negative is an unconscious, natural reaction. In order to focus on the positive, you need to intentionally focus your conscious thoughts and actions on what you want and use frequent reminders to keep them there. The ultimate success relies on your ability to manage each moment—the small things you encounter daily that add up to accomplishing what you want: things like a positive outcome for the next meeting and a desired outcome from a conversation or E-mail. All these small wins add up to big victories.

The book was published to help people dive deeper into the “how-to’s” of creating a mindset for change. The book is perfectly timed for what is going on in the marketplace today. If ever there was a time when people need to create a mindset for change and innovation, this is it.

Due to our current crisis, your remote team is isolated, anxious, and forced to work in different ways
Become an inspired leader who leads your team to be resourceful, expressive, and connected.

These are extreme times. Your ambassador leaders, your most forward leaning leaders, are working in new, uncertain environments, and with this challenge comes burnout and dissatisfaction leading to departures.

Creating a Mindset for Change

Change is inevitable. It’s not only a constant within our personal lives, but a reality within our organizations as well.

The problem is this: Not everyone is ready for change, and not every organization is ready for change either. Fail to adapt, and stagnation is soon to follow.

So, what’s the solution? The answer lies in between your ears. Change begins in the mind. Once you and your organization develop a Mindset for Change, unconscious and reactionary decisions will slowly evolve into creative and intentional decisions. That’s exactly where innovation begins.

Join Global Workforce Innovator Laura Goodrich, who has been helping organizations with change for nearly 20 years, as she coaches you and your organization on how to develop a Mindset for Change. Through a series of microlearning lessons (i.e. bite-sized videos), Goodrich provides the tools needed to create awareness for change and take action.

Creating a Positive Healthcare Mindset

There’s no question about it: Healthcare is more dynamic than ever and it continues to evolve.

As expected, there’s some anxiety associated with this shift. Healthcare professionals desire alignment between their policies and the departments they serve, but collaboration becomes difficult when perceptions don’t match. And it doesn’t help that the healthcare industry often naturally focuses on what’s trying to be avoided (fines, fraud, risk, etc). This focus on avoidance and what we don’t want damages team dynamics, personal energy, and the quality of the work experience.

It’s an unfortunate reality that healthcare professionals find themselves stuck in a never-ending struggle between groups: those who want to get things done fast and now, and those who see the value in taking time while keeping a close eye on regulation. Bringing these two groups together in harmony feels just about impossible at times.

Creating a Positive Healthcare Mindset keynote offers the tools you need to create a positive healthcare mindset and a collaborative work environment, giving you the ability to both stand out as a respected healthcare professional and form collaborative relationships with surrounding departments.

But fear and avoidance is no way to address change. We have to find and create positive outcomes going forward.
That’s why Laura Goodrich is so refreshing…and effective. Her message can be startling and difficult to hear but her approach is compelling, hopeful and inspirational at the same time. While many strike fear into learners about problems impacting the changing business landscape, Laura offers real-world solutions with positive impact…in a refreshing and inspiring way.
When it comes to change, most leaders and organizations focus on structures, processes, and systems. Few even recognize that without an individual and collective Mindset for Change and Innovation their best efforts will fail, especially now.
This session will show what is really getting in the way, how an intentional and clear focus on what you want rather than on what you are trying to avoid turns insight into actions and actions into breakthrough outcomes. She'll explain how this focus can benefit you, why we unconsciously focus on negative thoughts and how we can rewire our brains to focus on positive outcomes so that we can steer toward opportunities and away from the threats that a world in transformation will bring.
This is not another positive "attitude" session, it is a session that delves into our natural instincts to focus on what we fear and are trying to avoid. Once people understand this concept, their awareness of intentional and clear focus on what they do want becomes very powerful. Laura will demonstrate simple tools to help turn you and your team's focus around and provide stories of how organizations have implemented this successful mindset. Leaders will walk away with a clear method of how to create a positive future for themselves and their team now and into the future.

In the program and process, she'll explain how this focus can benefit you, why we unconsciously focus on negative thoughts and how we can rewire our brains to focus on positive outcomes so that we can steer toward opportunities and away from the threats that a world in transformation will bring.
This is not another positive "attitude" session, it is a session that delves into our natural instincts to focus on what we fear and are trying to avoid. Once people understand this concept, their awareness of intentional and clear focus on what they do want becomes very powerful. Laura will demonstrate simple tools to help turn you and your team's focus around and provide stories of how organizations have implemented this successful mindset. Compliance practitioners will walk away with a clear method of how to create a positive future for themselves and their team now and into the future.

Creating a Positive Banking Mindset Microlearning Program and Process
A designed process that combines live experiences with microlearning programs.
Different components of the program include coaching, self-reflection questions, and digital tools for charting the process. In addition to these components is a cinematic microlearning experience that utilizes storytelling techniques to guide the learner along the way. As a whole, the program will help your employees evolve in their respective roles and help others to do the same. It’s a hybrid process that creates measurable and observable change in your workforce
There’s no question about it: Banking is more dynamic than ever and it continues to evolve.

As expected, there’s some anxiety associated with this shift. Banking professionals desire alignment between their policies and the departments they serve, but collaboration becomes difficult when perceptions don’t match. And it doesn’t help that the healthcare industry often naturally focuses on what’s trying to be avoided (fines, fraud, risk, etc). This focus on avoidance and what we don’t want damages team dynamics, personal energy, and the quality of the work experience.

It’s an unfortunate reality that banking professionals find themselves stuck in a never-ending struggle between groups: those who want to get things done fast and now, and those who see the value in taking time while keeping a close eye on regulation. Bringing these two groups together in harmony feels just about impossible at times.

Creating a Positive Banking microlearning program and process offers the tools you need to create a positive banking mindset and a collaborative work environment, giving you the ability to both stand out as a respected healthcare professional and form collaborative relationships with surrounding departments.

But fear and avoidance is no way to address change. We have to find and create positive outcomes going forward.

After a year of crisis for work, what next?
DLA Ignight
August 03, 2021

In this conversation we talk about the way work has transformed during the pandemic and how Covid19 created a tipping point for remote work. Nobody was ready for this explosive business transformation and while people are resilient, the team may not be so.

We discuss the reconstruction of the health of team both social and emotional enabling a company to have a business connectivity focus.

Why business need to avoid a “knee jerk reaction” to the future of work for employees, making announcements before thinking them through. Laura also wants business to come up with innovative solutions to employee work structures.

Finally we discuss the phases of crisis and how we can transform our disruption into opportunity.

AI and cognitive technologies are no longer considered a trend that will fade away, they are the next generation of technologies influencing our everyday lives both personally and professionally. The organization requires the right leaders who can transform and influence the workforce to embrace these new technologies. According to Laura Goodrich, co-founder of GWTNext, this can be achieved by “transforming the mindset of the workforce. We must understand the current mindset, to create the next mindset”.

How does mindset fit into the work of Change Leaders?
Acuity Institute
February 01, 2019

Mindset lays the foundation for an organization’s change efforts.  Consider how a home is built.  The structure is built on a foundation.  Mindset creates the foundation on which change efforts and implementations can be built. When we have both a Change Mindset foundation and the skills and tools of Change Management Leaders, we are operating in a best-in-class model.

Making the Change Mindset Connection
Acuity Institute
February 01, 2019

To effectively examine the relationship between change mindset and the effectiveness of change management efforts, the word “mindset” has to be defined.
Mindset represents an established set of attitudes that is based on known assumptions, methods, and beliefs.  Mindsets are established over the course of time. There’s the individual mindset, the team mindset, and the organizational mindset, and they don’t necessarily sing off the same song sheet.

The Essence of Modern Work Management Is Change: Video Interviews with Sophie Wade, Laura Goodrich & Mark Schaefer - 3 #MastersOfModernWork
Laura Goodrich: "I think the distinct value of Done Right is that it really creates a space for collaboration between generations. It’s an opportunity to collaborate, to create, to problem-solve together and really bring about some of that positive change between generations that has been difficult within organizations for a long time.

I one time heard a psychologist say, “You can’t bring diverse groups together and just expect it’s going to to go well.” If you’re going to bring diverse groups together, give them something to accomplish together. Give them a problem to solve, give them an innovation to work on, give them something that has meaning to them. I believe that is really a powerful piece of Done Right because it creates a space for that to happen.

What gets in the way of innovation and change is fear. There’s a lot of fear that gets in the way. There are a lot of assumptions that are made that get in the way when we’re not working on something to accomplish together. So if we bring diverse groups together intentionally, we come to understand and appreciate differences and think, “We could actually leverage that difference as a positive thing.” Rather than rolling our eyes about each other, which just isn’t working. We’re solving problems, we’re innovating together, and we have ability to step into somebody else’s shoes enough that it eases the edge of our own orientation of how it should be done.

A central trend is the need to be able to change very quickly, to be able to steer toward opportunities and away from threats. I think the central trend is that there is no industry that’s exempt from this type of market, and many of us will have to make very abrupt changes. The challenge that we face is that we’re not so good at those abrupt changes. We’re really tethered to how we’ve done it, even when it’s not working anymore.

I’ll come back to the philosophy of Done Right. We have to come together into that place of common goals to understand each other. And maybe we just get in and reckon with those knee-jerk reactions that have always worked but aren’t working anymore. We get in, and we challenge, and we have the confidence in one another and the trust where we can have that honest dialogue so that we can challenge ourselves and not just stay there and watch the market move in another direction while we’re not a part of it.

By: Laura Goodrich, Co-Founder, GWT Next
There are many times in our day-to-day work that we are confronted with a challenge, but we miss the opportunity. We are either blinded by the challenge or label it as an obstacle and select a reaction from our usual archive of responses. This space between the stimulus and the reaction is the moment of opportunity. It is a moment that requires a new mindset. We can be reactive or creative. How we respond is determined by our perspective. Do we see this new world as one with opportunities, or endless obstacles? If we encounter change and are reactive, there will be a very high price to pay. If an individual can become aware of the moments of opportunity in their work, they can drive agility, be adaptive, remain relevant, and stay ahead of dynamic change.
This session will lift you up and motivate you to reexamine your tired assumptions, methods, and beliefs, and provide a simple formula with tools to address the challenges of your everyday work environment. On the other side of the challenges lies opportunity! Driving agility will enable us to seize them.
In this webcast, you will:
Learn how to overcome knee-jerk reactions and legacy thinking.
Learn the power of challenging the status quo by asking a question.
Learn about the drivers of innovation.
Explore the inside influences at your work.
Learn about the three Rs to find new solutions to old programs.

Nothing has changed the workplace more over the past decade than technology. It has changed how we work in countless ways. Technology has created opportunities for connection, communication, and collaboration that were unimaginable not so long ago. At the same time, some worry that all of this technology may be having negative effects on employees by allowing employees to be connected with work 24/7.

In this month’s webcast, Jason is joined by technology and the future of work expert, Laura Goodrich, to discuss the role of technology in employee experience. We will explore the positive and negative effects of technology at work and how HR leaders can (and should) play a more strategic leadership role in technology decisions and deployment in their organization.

We create change through CINEMATIC MICROLEARNINGS

Cine-what, micro-huh?

Yes, we know, it's a mouthful. So let's break it down and explain why this premier service is key to boosting retention and engaging employees in your training and learning efforts.

CINEMATIC
Increase learning engagement through storytelling. Narrative-based filmmaking serves as the backbone of our learning programs, which has been proven boost information retention.

MICROLEARNING
Learn faster, learn better. Microlearning is a technique of delivering educational video content in small, short, and specific bursts where learners are put in the driver’s seat.

OUR RATIONALE
Need reasons why this is worthwhile? We have two big ones.

1. EVOLVING WORKFORCE
Millennials will comprise over half the workforce in less than ten years. They’ve developed short attention spans in their tech-heavy upbringings and prefer video over any other medium.
This upcoming generation of workers will need to be trained into their new roles with a program tailored for them. Our cinematic microlearning platform fits the bill.

2. TRAINING SUCKS
Yep, we said it. Training in general just plain sucks. There’s a lack of retention, the content is boring, and the quality is often poor. Shouldn't it be the exact opposite?

HOW DOES CINEMATIC MICROLEARNING WORK?
It sounds confusing but it's not. We promise. Give us a minute and we'll explain everything.
