Your Challenges
Curious on How to Accelerate Optimal Functioning as a Leader?
J2N’s principle-centered solution provides you the roadmap you need to optimize performance.
The J2N Global mission is empowering transformational change within organizations by influencing leaders to embrace and thrive in change. We do this by embracing differences and leveraging opportunities to make high-functioning leaders within organizations and families.
We help organizations prepare for inevitable disruptions, empowering leaders to turn uncertainty into opportunities using a simple, universal platform to inspire authenticity and agility to manage and lead change.
Strategic change initiatives are best described as journeys
In our work with global organizations, we help prepare companies to overcome six major leadership and team challenges so that they can perform at optimal levels. Learn how J2N can help your organization lead, change and grow.
RESTRUCTURING
Whether you are facing a post-merger integration initiative, spin-off, divestiture or a turnaround, change leadership is paramount for a successful restructuring. Investors and the executive team spend enormous time, energy and capital finding the right acquisition or preparing for an efficient divestiture or exit. Success is not solely dependent on executing the operational tasks at hand. Successfully leading this journey requires capturing your teams’ hearts and minds so that they embrace the new vision and help you carry it forward. J2N shows you how to do this.
LEADERSHIP TRANSFORMATION
Do these leadership scenes sound familiar? You’ve recently been tapped as the new leader and you want to make some changes. You need to upskill your leadership team so that they are more productive, better leaders. The recent merger has added new members to your team and you need to get your team aligned, quick! J2N teaches leaders how to effect strategic, transformational change. Our strategic platform is designed to help leaders identify and understand their own behaviors as well as the behaviors of others in order to create a platform to create an environment of respect and trust foundational to earning the ability to influence others. Simply put, J2N creates a common language for optimal communication, a platform where vision can be cast, and the people are engaged at a personal level. Respect + Trust = Influence. These core principles enable you to be a better leader, your team to be a better team, and your culture to be a better culture.
DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION
Innovation requires collaboration. Whether you’re the disruptor or being disrupted, your team must move together…quickly. Good ideas have a shelf life. How are you building agility and change capability into your team to ensure your innovations successfully make it to the market? Stephen Denning said it best in his article “Transformation innovation: A journey by narrative” in Strategy & Leadership. “Transformational innovation entails a capability to deploy an array of leadership narrative tools to persuade people to change, work together, transfer knowledge, and envision a compelling new future.” We have a great story. After enjoying a market leadership position, our client faced a complete business model change when a new competitor changed the game.
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Technology is the enabler of strategic change. Whether supporting systems consolidation as part of a post-merger integration or supporting a new e-commerce business or customer service model, companies must adequately prepare their workforce. Technology changes are risky. Counter-intuitively, most technology challenges are people issues not technology issues. End-users don’t want to change their process…don’t like the new tool…or departments don’t trust each other. And because strategic technology changes span multi-departments, cross-functional collaboration is critical.
Our system and tools give IT staff the confidence to navigate the complex people issues they’ll encounter throughout their digital transformation journey.
CULTURAL TRANSFORMATION
Culture is how you think and behave and allow others to behave. Organizational culture is traditionally centered around value statements. Imbuing these values by making them memorable and actionable is the challenge. We believe that healthy cultures start with a mindset based on Respect, Trust and Influence. We provide the tools to help you change your culture into one which values differences, cultivates openness and develops leaders of leaders.
DIVERSITY / INCLUSION
Working from a larger context of change leadership, respect culture, and transforming collective mindset, J2N transcends the pitfalls of many well-intentioned diversity programs focused on confronting symptoms and conforming behavior.
The J2N broad-based system of suspending and valuing differences allows teams and organizations to experience diversity and inclusion due to a more extensive organizational transformation. The symbolic J2N story is based on an inclusive leadership model that creates a safe and fun environment to face complex issues regardless of functional, operational, or cultural differences.
