What do we mean – when we talk about transformations?
Usually we think about shift
in strategies, processes,
practices and systems
What we forgot ?
It happens when people
shift behaviours / beliefs
BUILDING A BRIDGE CROSSING THE BRIDGE
Problem is we think we “KNOW”
• The benefits are clear • Business case is solid ($$$) • Easily to measure • If we build , people will use
What we forget?
Each individual interprets and view the world differently based on our
experiences, biases and fears
• Fear • Comfort Loss • Loss of Control
The reality is - We NEVER know… …. what assessments people make
Where the failure happens?
Building the bridge (Business Case Achievement)
Adaption/Usage of bridge (Realise Benefit)
Gap ($)
Example: A change/ transformation situation
My world – “Set Ways of working” Sense of Control , Familiarity
Change :Choice/ Judgement Opportunity / Threat
Internal Decision/ Ask others To Support/ Not
ACT Resist …..Neutral….. Commit
Good Leaders – manage this proactively – leading to commitment
