Are you a Learning Organization? Are you Market Driven?
We would be happy to do a free diagnosis for you to see how market driven you are! This diagnosis is merely to help you establish for yourself how close to the market you actually are – your values, beliefs, culture, your market sensing capabilities and the extent to which your organization aligns its internal efficiencies with market effectiveness.

So, why is it so important to be a Learning Organization? What’s a Market Driven organization all about?
Market driven firms think differently about strategy. They have an externally oriented process for developing strategic direction, in contrast to the internally focused process employed by most organizations. The strategy begins with an understanding of the market and works back to the organization rather than moving from the organization to the market. This externally oriented strategy is supported by a shared knowledge base, and by a culture that is willing at all levels to continuously challenge mind sets and assumptions.
Characteristics of Market driven organizations
In short, market driven organizations are very similar to learning organizations. They are more focused on market effectiveness than relying solely on internal efficiencies. That necessitates a strong need for a change in min-set and organizational culture across all levels of functioning. A consequent shift in attitudes, skills set, knowledge gain-share, and quick adaptability is required.
Being a Learning Organization
This involves considerable commitment from everyone in the organization, and like most things it has to be initiated at the top. What a Learning Organization involves could take up a whole manual, and we would be happy to share the same with you if you so wish through a personal interaction.
Briefly, a learning organization involves the following:
- Building a shared knowledge base
- Continuous learning at each organizational level
- Org adaptability greater than market rate of change
- Challenging assumptions
- Problem-solving orientation
- Systems thinking
- Knowing when to learn
- Recognizing when you have learned something
- Supporting learning
- Communication networks
Making the transition to a Learning Organization
Futuristic learning within an organization is where there is a willingness to envision the future, contemplate what it will mean, and how the organization should be adapting now to work in the future. To achieve this level of learning, an organization would do well to deliberately and consciously use the learning processes demonstrated in our program on ‘Building a learning organization’ to better examine its own views of the future.
This is perhaps the most difficult to achieve because it is possible for even an intermediate learning organization to think that the future is too far off to think about right now. However, achieving the status of a Learning Organization means passing up the various stages of the learning triangle until the peak is attained
Benefits of being a Market-Driven Learning Organization
- Higher degree of organizational success
- Greater flexibility and adaptability
- Job satisfaction & employee motivation
- Culture of openness and trust
- Creation and use of a shared knowledge base
- Alignment of organization with the market
- Energized and responsive workforce
- Delight of internal & external customers
- Individual goals aligned with organizational vision
- Configuration around capabilities
- Greater loyalty and lower employee turnover
- Increase in productivity and profitability

The Coaching led me to achieve a promotion to Executive Director – Post Sale, that had been frozen for the past 15 years.
Starting a business is crazy difficult. The family always suffers. My coaching with PeopleFirst helped me raise funds at the right stages and more importantly made me see I didn’t have to choose between family and business
My 360 surveys underwent a total change after the coaching. My team respects me but I have also been able to engage better with all my stakeholders
The 8 months I spent being coached helped me transform my Business and my Life. The coach helped me revisit my business model and helped me with getting the right investors. Most importantly, I learnt from him how to live a more balanced life
When my CEO categorically told me I needed to develop certain leadership capabilities if I was to ever get the top role in my company, I felt it was a lost cause. With People First's coaching, I can’t believe how easy it is to lead people
I had been struggling with my leadership style for years. My team didn’t like me and my Manager had put me on a short leash cautioning me that I could either change or move into an Individual contributor role. It took 4 months of coaching to transform my life as a leader.
For years, I would leave office with the feeling that I hadn’t been able to complete a lot of my work. Jag’s Magic Quadrant principle and coaching helped me identify certain behaviour patterns. Now I actually have time to work on higher value stories than struggling to complete basic work
I moved from London to a large firm in Dubai. It was a promotion for me and I had to suddenly contend with doing media interviews, something I had never been exposed to. The coach’s media coaching tips greatly helped me manage crisis situations and handle challenging media interactions
I was able to move to Product Management from the Sales function within six months of my coaching. That was something I had been trying to do for years but hadn’t succeeded at on my own
Jag is so amazing at how he gets you to go past your limiting beliefs. I can’t believe how easy he has made it for me to talk to large audiences and media people
I have been the top performing Business manager for the past 18 months now. The Business coaching and Behavioural Selling principles I learnt are astounding and the results so tangible
I had got transferred to India as a Business Head and was struggling not to make mistakes that could adversely impact my team and other colleagues. The six culture coaching sessions I had with People First taught me more than I would have learnt from days of cultural sensitization training and reading on Google
Moving from Chicago to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, I made two terrible errors within the first week of joining office. The Bank I was employed with helped me reach out to Jag as my Culture coach. It’s a lot easier now. I feel accepted as an Expat, and I am able to get things done without ruffling feathers
I have gained an extra 10 hours a week. It gives me so much more time with myself and with the people that matter. Not to forget the time I get for ‘Creative silence’ that Jag keeps talking about
After years of self-loathing and self-doubt, I have been able to start liking myself as a person. And it has made such a big difference to how people respond to me. This coaching didn’t change my life. It saved my life!
Talent Bridge Consultants is an excellent learning & development organization and they have helped create significant value for our business.

had the privilege of going through my executive coaching by Jagmohan. Jagmohan excels in providing excellent perspectives and solutions for career minded individuals through his deep and insightful leadership coaching. He demonstrates mastery in his craft by carefully evaluating a leaders own and their colleagues' perceived identity using feedback tools and then using them to chart a trend for improvement. During feedback, he allows individuals to participate in their development plan. As a professional, Jagmohan is meticulous and thought through in his approach. I am extremely proud of my professional association with him.

The faculties were able to deliver a very practical knowledge and their extensive experiences with so many family businesses was a great advantage as they know the loop holes of business and till date they are associated with us and very supportive if there is any guidance required
