WTF! Why Transformations Fail!...and how to avoid it with Matt Barcomb - September 2023 - PhillyXP

WTF! Why Transformations Fail! …and how to avoid it Organizational change always seems bigger, takes longer, and costs more than expected. And too often, the results do not fully deliver the desired outcomes…or worse. But why is this so common? Well, some of the most frequent reasons are: - Only a small fraction of the entire org design is considered - Leadership activities and behaviors don’t significantly shift - The psychology of change is ignored or not incorporated The good news is that it doesn’t have to be this way. Taking a systems-first, people-centered approach resolves all these problems! We will explore how to use the Key Forces of Change models to consider the entire org-design and its impact on change. Then, we will review aspects of change that put people at the forefront for consideration. Finally, we will wrap up with a leadership model that will encourage change readiness. You will leave with a broader, deeper toolbelt for achieving successful organizational change!
