Which of the following is NOT listed as a capability of change-adept organisations?

• A. Imagination to innovate
• B. The professionalism to perform
• C. The openness to collaborate
• D. Financial acumen

Answer: (D)

Change-adept organizations rely on a blend of creative, execution-focused, and collaborative capabilities to drive and sustain change. Imagination to innovate keeps the organization generating new ideas and solutions. The professionalism to perform ensures disciplined, reliable execution of those changes. The openness to collaborate enables broad participation and alignment across teams and stakeholders, which is crucial for successful change implementations.

Financial acumen, while important for budgeting and evaluating initiatives, isn’t listed among the change-adept capabilities in this framework. It’s more about financial management than the cultural and behavioral abilities that enable change readiness. So the capability that isn’t listed is financial acumen.
