About Sigmoid

Your journey in life - the story of your life - can be told using the metaphor of the sigmoid curve.

The sigmoid curve is derived from the sigmoid function, an algebraic formula that shows how every growth curve eventually will plateau unless you interrupt its cycle.

The paradox for us as humans is that the optimal time to interrupt a growth curve is before it reaches its peak. This is difficult for humans because we find it counterintuitive to change something when it seems to be working perfectly fine.

However, the ability to anticipate change and make it happen before performance begins to drop off is the key to maintaining momentum in our personal lives, our teams and our organisations.

The basic premise behind the sigmoid curve is that nothing grows forever in its current structure. Structure in this case is defined as a set of assumptions. We base all changes, whether in our personal lives or in an organisation, on certain assumptions.

Assumptions that are relevant for changes we make today tend to have a lifespan of approximately 18 months before they're rendered invalid. Believe it or not, the lifecycles of change are compressing into even shorter periods over the years to come.

This means that we should try to build capability in ourselves and our teams to anticipate the future and to be ready to proactively lead incremental changes that are necessary to maintain momentum with our business models.

Sigmoid offers the tools and process to help teams track their progress on a growth curve and determine when it’s optimal to move to the next.  Sigmoid distinguishes itself by an impressive track record of helping leaders around the world take their organisations through major change.
