Redequip Adaptive Intelligence Cycle™

The Architecture of Strategic Thinking

A Change Readiness Map for Navigating Complex Change

The Redequip ™ Adaptive Intelligence Cycle™ (AIC) is a proprietary, licensable readiness and transformation system that enables organisations to align culture, capability, and execution before committing to major change.

Built on a unique integration of diagnostics, maturity mapping, and cultural overlays, the AIC provides leaders with a clear, measurable pathway from initial alignment through to sustained consolidation. Its modular toolkit — including targeted leadership, capability, and change management instruments — adapts seamlessly to diverse industries and contexts, from high‑growth enterprises to culturally complex environments. By embedding readiness at the core, the AIC reduces transformation risk, accelerates execution, and delivers lasting organisational resilience.

The AIC is:

  • not “just another change model”. Most change frameworks are either overly theoretical (and too hard to operationalise), or overly tactical (a bag of tools without a guiding logic). The AIC bridges that gap.

    It’s a diagnostic-driven, readiness-first system that can flex across various contexts — corporate, government, and community — without compromising its integrity. That’s rare.

  • a complete ecosystem – a flagship framework, multiple licensable modules, entry points, scalable delivery model
  • differentiated – with our cultural readiness overlay, we provide cultural safety and methodological rigour.
  • licensable

The Adaptive Intelligence Cycle™ (AIC) brings together six core elements that work in harmony to help organisations see clearly, act decisively, and sustain progress.

  1. Six Strategic Readiness Outcomes – These three half-day sessions build the thinking architecture of strategic readiness. This training is specifically designed for the senior leadership teams of firms with up to 1000 staff.
  2. Three Phases – The journey of change moves through three broad phases, each with its own focus and challenges.
  3. Four Maturity Levels – Within each phase, there are distinct levels of capability and readiness. Knowing where you are helps you choose the right next step.
  4. Three Lenses – These are the perspectives you keep in play at all times: how you think, how you evolve systems, and how you mobilise people.
  5. One Engine – The underlying logic that keeps the cycle moving, ensuring that insight turns into action and action into lasting results.
  6. One Application Process – A repeatable way of diagnosing your position, calibrating your approach, and applying the right tools at the right time.

The AIC is designed to be adaptive — it recognises that no two change journeys are identical. By combining structured thinking with flexibility, it helps leaders and teams respond to shifting conditions without losing sight of their goals.

On its own, the diagram is a simple visual. In practice, it’s the integration of these elements — and the discipline of applying them in context — that makes the AIC so effective. It’s not about following a rigid formula; it’s about having a clear map, a reliable compass, and the skill to navigate whatever terrain you encounter.

Here are some features that show its readiness logic:

AIC starts with readiness, not action

Most models jump straight to planning or implementation. AIC begins by scanning context, mapping maturity, and identifying readiness triggers. It’s not about what should happen — it’s about what the system can actually absorb. 

AIC uses readiness to guide sequencing

The Phase × Maturity Level grid isn’t just descriptive — it’s prescriptive. You only move forward when readiness conditions are met. That prevents overreach, burnout, and false starts. 

AIC treats readiness as multidimensional

Through its three lenses — Thinking Frame, System Evolution Loop, and Human Drive Train — AIC recognises that readiness isn’t just cognitive or procedural. It’s emotional, cultural, and relational. You can’t push a system forward if its people aren’t aligned, its structures aren’t stable, or its beliefs aren’t supportive.  

AIC measures readiness with IRVEY™

The IRVEY categories (Insight, Vision, Agency, Trust, etc.) give you a norm‑referenced way to assess readiness. You’re not guessing — you’re diagnosing. And you’re doing it in a way that’s scalable, repeatable, and context‑sensitive. 

AIC loops until readiness is real

The cycle doesn’t force progression. It allows for consolidation, recalibration, and even regression if needed. That’s what makes it adaptive — and what makes it ethical. 

Even the smartest strategies can stall. Not because the vision is wrong — but because the organisation isn’t truly ready to deliver it.

In mid‑sized organisations, senior leadership teams often face the same challenges:

  • Too many priorities, not enough capacity — everything feels urgent, but resources are stretched thin.

  • A strategy that looks good on paper but falters in execution — momentum fades, deadlines slip, and opportunities pass.

  • Leadership misalignment — different interpretations of what’s possible lead to conflicting decisions.

  • Change fatigue — people are tired of “the next big thing” and sceptical about whether it will stick.

These issues don’t just slow progress — they quietly erode confidence, waste resources, and make it harder to rally people behind the next move.

Strategic Readiness is about fixing that gap — ensuring your organisation isn’t just aiming high, but is truly prepared to deliver.

Built on Science. Proven in Practice. The Strategic Readiness Program is unlike anything else on the market. It’s powered by our proprietary REDEQUIP Adaptive Intelligence Cycle™ — a framework you won’t find in any textbook or off‑the‑shelf training.

What makes it different:

  • Scientific Foundations — rooted in systems thinking, behavioural science, and decision‑making research

  • Real‑World Testing — refined through years of work with senior leadership teams across industries

  • Practical Application — designed for the realities of mid‑sized organisations, where resources are finite and decisions can’t wait

The result is a program that’s both evidence‑based and battle‑tested — giving your leadership team a clear, repeatable architecture of strategic thinking that transforms ambition into action‑ready plans. 

Six Critical Outcomes

Imagine a leadership team that moves with clarity, confidence, and unity. Where every strategic decision is grounded in reality, every opportunity is weighed against capacity, and every person understands their role in making it happen.

That’s what Strategic Readiness delivers.

By the end of the program, you’ll have:

  • Absolute clarity on what’s truly possible for your organisation right now

  • A clear path forward with the next achievable opportunities identified and agreed

  • Focused priorities that channel resources into the highest‑value actions

  • Capacity‑aligned plans that avoid overreach and burnout

  • A balanced approach to change — knowing where to disrupt and where to protect

  • Mobilised people who believe in the strategy and are committed to delivering it

The result? A strategy that doesn’t just look good in the boardroom — it’s ready to succeed in the real world.

 

How It Works

Strategic Readiness is not a lecture. It’s a working session — three half‑day, high‑impact workshops where your leadership team tackles real decisions in real time.

We start by mapping the strategic landscape you’re operating in, then guide you through a series of structured conversations and exercises that:

  • Surface the assumptions and blind spots that could derail execution

  • Test your priorities against capacity and competing demands

  • Build alignment on the moves that matter most right now

  • Equip you with a shared language and decision‑making rhythm you can use long after the program ends

The process is built on our proprietary REDEQUIP Adaptive Intelligence Cycle™ — a framework we’ve refined with leadership teams across industries. You’ll see the high‑level structure here, but the detailed sequencing, tools, and facilitation methods are reserved for program participants.

This isn’t about theory. By the time we finish, you’ll have made tangible strategic calls, pressure‑tested them, and agreed on the next steps to move them forward.
