The case

Why we use it

The circles in the business, service and coordination rings need an instrument enabling them to actively and continuously shape the development of the organization and help it evolve.

The mechanics

How It Works

A Kanban Board (Company Board) contains concerns, issues and ideas that cannot be solved by existing processes. These can be changes as how the organization operates, escalations or also changes at existing or even new products. Each circle, each circle segment and each market segment operates its own company board. If a matter cannot be resolved within the circle because it exceeds their competencies, knowledge, budget or other guardrails, it is passed on to the next inner Company Board. This escalation process continues until the board with the appropriate decision rights has been reached. Colleagues from the direct value creation circles should be systematically involved and encouraged in this process to constantly shape the organization.

The purpose

What is the goal of the model?

Adapt to the market as quickly and sustainably as possible. We want to maximize the decentralized development of opportunities across the organization, only limited by framework conditions such as budget and other key guardrails. The ultimate outcome is an agile and self-learning organization.

Beyond the download

Use this model in Axibra, not only in a slide deck

The PDF is yours to keep. But a model changes something only when it touches the work — and that is what Axibra does with it. The model becomes the structure your decisions are made in, and every outcome stays traceable back to the input it came from.

In practice

Where this model does its work

For years we applied this model by hand, in client engagements. It now runs inside Axibra.

Culture and organization

Culture is the first reason transformations fail. Axibra keeps the organizational side of a decision in view instead of leaving it to chance.

Thousands of organizations leverage the UNITE models — these are some of them …

From here on

Need help putting this to work in your organization?

Axibra is where these models run. It carries a decision through to the work that follows it, and keeps every result traceable back to the input it came from. If you would rather start with a conversation, we are one call away.

Strategy does not fail in the thinking. It fails in the handover.
