Kilowatt - Crafting an Agile Organization That Works for People

Kilowatt, a bold and forward-thinking organization, found itself at a pivotal moment: balancing the need for growth and sustainability with the desire to create a workplace where employees thrive. They didn’t just want an organizational model—they wanted something bespoke, something that reflected who they are and where they’re headed. Enter Takos Consulting, where we don’t just advise; we craft solutions as unique as the organizations we work with.

The challenge? To create an agile, collaborative structure that fosters autonomy, supports generational leadership transition, and empowers every individual to shine. No small task, but that’s what we love. 


With Kilowatt, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work—not with a cookie-cutter approach but with a tailored strategy that blended self-management principles, operational finesse, and a touch of innovation:


1. Mapping the Chaos:

  • We kicked things off by listening carefully: running interviews and workshops to capture the pain points, aspirations, and untapped potential of the Kilowatt team.

  • We ran an internal needs analysis going deep through the Jobs-to-be-done methodology to have a qualitative and quantitative idea of key areas to prioritize

  • Used tools like persona mapping and journey analysis to understand workflows, identify roadblocks, and pinpoint areas for growth.

  • Proposed an organizational model inspired by Sociocracy and Rendanheyi—but with a Kilowatt twist, because no two organizations are the same.

2. Fixing the Flows:

  • Introducing collaboration tools like Slack, because nothing says efficiency like fewer emails.

  • We are leveraging the S3.0 Delegation Canvas to cut through bottlenecks and give people the power to act without endless approvals.

  • Oh, and together we're sustaining and supporting the organization to pilot the four-day workweek—because why not challenge convention while we’re at it?

3. Empowering People:

  • We are training teams in self-management practices like circle structures, consent-based decision-making, and feedback loops. We didn’t just teach; we made sure these concepts stuck by making them relevant and actionable.

  • Built a learning and development plan, ensuring Kilowatt’s team was ready to embrace their new roles and responsibilities.

4. Testing the Waters:

  • We are piloting the new model in two areas, gathering feedback like pros and tweaking things as we went.

  • Sat in on early workshops (yes, we love workshops too) to ensure everyone was aligned and on the same page.

5. Redefining HR:

  • We're revamping onboarding, career paths, and performance evaluations to reflect the new model.

  • Now we're working on creating a reward system that celebrates both individual brilliance and team successes—because recognition matters.

THE OUTCOMES


  • We're crafting a new organizational model, blending agility, inclusivity, and a dash of Kilowatt’s unique culture.

  • We will have streamlined processes and new collaboration tools

  • Revamped HR processes that make Kilowatt a place where people want to stay and grow.

Strategic Impact:

  • Kilowatt will boast a distributed leadership model that empowers employees at every level.

  • Operational clarity and efficiency have gone up, while unnecessary bureaucracy is firmly in the rearview mirror.

  • The groundwork is laid for a smooth generational leadership transition, ensuring Kilowatt’s growth story continues.

At Takos, we don’t just implement change; we co-create it. With Kilowatt, we're building something that’s not just innovative but genuinely human-centered—because organizations don’t succeed by accident. They succeed when their people are empowered to thrive. And that’s what we’re here for.
