Make Easier Progress:
✅ using science
✅ safely and securely
✅ with stronger leadership
If you need people to support your change projects to make them work, but you mostly encounter hesitancy, we can help you.
We help leaders and their teams improve progress and build agile, change-ready cultures using the scientific principles of change readiness and transformational leadership.
Do you ever experience problems like these?
- Workers resist change and find it hard to achieve success
- People are slow to engage in projects
- Strategic decision-making is not great
- Managing change is a problem for us
- Our customer value proposition is not compelling enough
- We need a more agile and adaptable culture
The Problem
These problems could be characterised like this:
When you most need people to support a change project and make it work, you get hesitancy.
It’s hard to get people to do what they don’t want to do.
It’s like that horrible feeling you get when you need your car to respond quickly to get you out of trouble, but all you get is lag. You’ve hit the go pedal, but you’re barely moving (okay, EV owners, you can stop laughing now). You’re fully committed, and something is wrong—something that normally doesn’t matter much, but right now, it’s all that matters. These situations are not only stressful; they can be deadly.
What Should You Do?
Most leaders and managers have experienced this problem. And they have developed some common ways to deal wth it:
- Providing information about why change is needed
- Pep talks
- Setting milestones, plans, and agendas
- Providing training
There is nothing wrong with doing these things, but you need to understand their limitations. They never get to the root cause of the real problem—a lack of readiness.
If you want an organisation where people readily engage and support change, you need to strengthen change readiness.
To begin this process, you should consider four factors.
Four Essential Factors
Your approach must be holistic. To be most effective, building change readiness should be an organisation-wide priority. It must include how and what people think as well as the organisation’s leadership, policies, processes, and culture. It should include all stakeholders – from ordinary workers, leaders and managers through to customers.
Your approach should be scientific. There is rigorous science that supports both change readiness and transformational leadership. By basing your practice on this science, you build a secure foundation and avoid the risks that can arise without proper knowledge.
Your approach requires expertise. It takes time, money, and effort to study the science of change readiness and transformational leadership. And it takes years of experience to develop effective tools based on scientific knowledge. But without that expertise, you will struggle to make any real progress.
Your approach requires experience. You need experience in learning program development and delivery along with a deep knowledge of the theory of change readiness and transformational leadership.
