TOMATOES OR TOMATOES

Many organisations talk about transformation, but what if most of it is just change in disguise? We implement new systems, optimise operations, and refine processes—but does that really make a business different? Real transformation reshapes how an organisation works at its core, changing strategy, operating models, and enterprise architecture. It’s about shifting mindsets, structures, and decision-making.

CHANGE CHICKEN AND EGG

Should organisations start with Where We Are Now or Where We Need to Be? It’s rarely a simple choice. The real challenge is ensuring clarity before acting. The Six ITs™ framework helps organisations resolve, not just solve, change by focusing on key areas: Do we have the right people and sponsorship? Are we engaging the right perspectives? Are we addressing the real issue? Change isn’t about either/or thinking— it’s about building readiness, alignment, and continuous learning.

THE HEROIC LEADER

True transformation isn’t driven by heroic leaders but by creating an environment where everyone is ready to act, adapt, and contribute. By focusing on readiness over resistance, organisations can foster alignment, trust, and collaboration, turning change into a shared journey rather than a top-down directive.

BIAS & INNOVATION

In a recent Change Management Institute event, the fascinating influence of biases on decision-making was highlighted, particularly how they can stifle innovation within organisations. Drawing on concepts from Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow," the discussion illuminated our tendency to rely on instinctive 'chimp brain' responses and misfiring heuristics, which often lead us down suboptimal paths.

CHANGE & COMMUNICATION

We delve into the vital role of diverse communication strategies in fostering innovation and change within organisations. It challenges the traditional top-down communication model by highlighting the benefits of incorporating horizontal and bottom-up communication. By embracing a broader conversation that includes various internal and external perspectives, organizations can better navigate their inherent complexities. We emphasise the importance of a shared language to unify teams.
