The only certainty is that there is no certainty. This means change. Forced change. Reactive change. Planned change.
Getting it right, is business critical.
The overwhelming issue...
Consider what Michael Hammer, co-author of "Re-engineering the Corporation", has said about the people issues:
"I don't regret saying anything [in the book]; it's more what I left out. In particular, the human side is much harder than the technology side and harder than the process side. It's the overwhelming issue.
I wasn't smart enough about people. I was reflecting my engineering background and was insufficiently appreciative of the human dimension. I've learned that's critical"
It's all about people... and processes that work for people
A successful change initiative can be defined as how you take an organisation from Position A to Position B, in the fulfillment or implementation of a vision and a strategy and the whole art is to how to carry your people with you, so that the envisaged benefits of the vision and strategy are actually realised.
At root, it is about process and people. But even process is just about people doing stuff... so ultimately it's all about people - and processes that work for people.
My intention with this website is to give you the broad strategies for managing change, and a very practical practitioners' masterclass in leading your people through change, putting it all together and managing the whole messy business.
All this to ensure that you DO succeed and DON'T become part of the 70% of failures.
