What is the AEM-Cube tool for?

The AEM Cube (Adaptive Enterprise Matrix) measures natural natural contributions of team members along three key axes:

  • Exploration ability to detect opportunities and think “out of the box

  • Operations ability to structure, execute and deliver with rigor

  • Transformation: ability to challenge existing systems and drive change

          Concrete example of use

          Background :

          A company in the pharmaceuticals sector wants to accelerate innovation, but is encountering resistance and slowness in taking action. The project team is made up of senior experts from compartmentalized departments.

          What the AEM Cube revealed :

          • An over-representation of “operations” profiles: strong rigor, but little audacity
          • A lack of “exploration” profiles: few new ideas or creative impetus
          • Weak collective capacity to “transform”: lack of change leadership

          Action plan implemented :

          • Hybrid project teams with complementary profiles
          • Cross-training and inter-departmental mentoring
          • Transformation-oriented co-construction workshops

          Result:

          Observation of +35% of innovative projects launched in 12 months, gain fluidity in cross-functional interactions and abetween strategy and execution.
