The 'Cold Shower' Effect: Overcoming Institutional Barriers to Change

In our latest podcast episode, "The 'Cold Shower' Effect: Overcoming Institutional Barriers to Change," our Director of Programmes, Chioma Njoku, speaks with Ayodele Ajayi, a Cohort 3 alumnus of the Aig-Imoukhuede Public Leaders Programme about what it truly takes to turn training into lasting reform. Using his own reform project as a case study, Ayodele takes us inside the structural barriers that reformers face when they re-enter their organisations and what an enabling environment looks like when it actually works. This episode emphasises that reform requires an enabling ecosystem, and part of our work at the Foundation is building that ecosystem.
