On change
Practical advice, fresh perspectives and a closer look at how we work.
What we’re seeing right now
A lot is changing right now, and we’re here to help you keep up. Here’s what’s happening on the ground.
Why is "why" such a powerful question?
You can change a lot if you manage to inspire a genuine commitment to the reasons behind making the change in the first place.
Change traps
How do you engage middle managers in your company?
Not engaging the middle manager in the change initiative is a huge opportunity wasted.
Change traps
Challenges of leading change unexpectedly
The mistake that many corporate executives (and many internal project organisations) make is to believe that it’s possible to go straight from development to implementation in the organisation.
Change traps
Trying to implement multiple changes at once
The rate of change today is very high compared to just ten years ago. Change pressure requires great adaptability, and several change initiatives often need to be implemented within the same time period. This creates inefficiency and unacceptable levels of stress and fatigue in the organisations.
Change traps
Stuffing square pegs into round holes
Improperly preparing for change is a common trap to avoid. Rolling out new working methods or tech solutions without target group analyses, planning, or cultural comparisons can lead to ineffective solutions. Ensure proper preparation to avoid frustration and avoid forcing square pegs into round holes.
Change traps
Introducing new stuff without a solid foundation
Successful change implementation can be attributed to companies building upon an inherited foundation in communication and leadership. Avoid introducing new initiatives without a clear foundation. The level of avoidance depends on your organizational foundation.
Change traps
Being a present leader on the change journey
Saying too little too soon creates rumours, saying too much, too late causes shock.
