The Effectivity Model™

Nine capabilities. One organisational system.

The Effectivity Model™ provides a practical framework for understanding the capabilities that enable an organisation to convert purpose and strategy into sustained performance.

At its centre is Purpose: the reason the organisation exists and the contribution it seeks to make. Around it sit nine interconnected organisational capabilities. Performance is strengthened when these capabilities operate together as a coherent system.

Where We Apply the Model

From diagnostic lens to focused improvement

The nine capabilities provide the diagnostic lens. EAG then applies that lens to the areas of the organisation where stronger performance is required.

Each area is examined through The Effectivity Model™, in the context of the whole organisation rather than as an isolated project.

  • Business Advisory
  • Leadership Advisory & Development
  • Management Capability
  • Sales Performance
  • Business Development
  • Customer Experience
  • Organisational Capability
  • Communication

Effectivity comes from the system, not the parts.

Organisations rarely underperform because every capability is weak. More often, performance is constrained by particular capabilities, or by the way those capabilities interact. The Effectivity Model™ helps identify where those constraints exist and where focused improvement can create the greatest commercial impact.
