We help organizations and employees navigate discontinuous change at the intersection of adaptive strategy, responsive implementation, and Human Capital 3.0.
Y Solve is an innovation system that builds portfolio companies (solutions) that coherently address intractable problems. Possibyl, one of Y Solve’s portfolio companies, identifies the root drivers of organizational effectiveness through innovative products: Adaptive Strategy, Responsive Implementation, and Human Capital 3.0. In addition, Possibyl delivers its products and services to other Y Solve portfolio companies.
The company’s Adaptive Strategy methodology combines frameworks, measurements, and tools to enhance organizational strategy through discontinuous change. Responsive Implementation joins strategy with high-relevance flexible implementation tools to expand organizational adaptability and resilience. And, Human Capital 3.0 deploys training methodologies developed for growing strategic organizational capabilities through our durable-translation framework to better enable leaders and teams to effectively navigate fast-moving complex environments.
Context
Context
Organizations must create value in an increasingly unpredictable world, captured by FANI (Fragile, anxious, non-linear, and incomprehensible). While leaders and their organizations struggle with change writ large, discontinuous change is inordinately more difficult. Unknown unpredictable change is the new benchmark teams must deliver greater value to survive in today’s rapidly shifting environments.
Solutions
Solutions
We help organizations create greater differentiating value in known discontinuous change and we better prepare organizations to operate through unknown unpredictable change. This requires organizations, leaders and their teams to build more robust capacity, adaptability and resilience. To be successful organizations need Adaptive Strategy, Responsive Implementation and Human Capital 3.0. Our solutions leverage advanced measurements, persistent data, robust financial models and integrated frameworks to grow adaptive organizational capabilities, accelerate strategic implementation and develop the needed talent to expand enterprise value in complex discontinuous change.

Failure is the norm.
Leaders and their teams are not adequately equipped with the right tools to operate successfully in discontinuous change.
Why is failure prevalent?
We see a number of drivers causing organizations, teams and people to falter and break down. Eight areas, and their intersections, create sub-optimal organizational states that range from insufficiencies to crisis dynamics.
These underlying drivers result in product failures, talent retention issues, problems in operating models, capital allocation issues and collapsing margins to name only a handful of challenges leaders must navigate.
What organizations get wrong about their people?
Organizations over-index technical skills or what we call context skills. These efforts narrow capabilities resulting in more rigidity alongside losses in resistance and flexibility. While investing in technical skills can help performance in stable environments, these activities fail to grow high-value adaptive capabilities in fast-pace, discontinuous change.
Successfully navigating discontinuous and unpredictable change requires organizational investments to grow the necessary durable and translation skills.
Durable Skills: Essential skills relevant across most contexts. Not to be narrowed exclusively to soft skills (as many incorrectly do), durable skills are foundational capabilities need for effective action across all organizational settings. Some examples include: Collaboration, Conscious communication, Effective choice-making, Meta cognition, and Orienting complexity.
Translation Skills: Vital to adaptability, translation skills are learning capabilities for translating high-value skillsets from one context into new environments where skillsets are augmented and transformed by joining with adjacent skillsets. Translation skills recombine, synthesize and generate new higher-relevancy capabilities tailored to the specific challenges that need to be solved.
Get durable and translation skills wrong or misallocate resources away from these foundations and risk climbs exponentially. Proper investments in durable and translation skills opens up greater achievements only possible through what we call Human Capital 3.0.
