A Path to Lasting Organisational Change
In a world defined by rapid, dynamic complexity, organisations face what we call Wicked Challenges—issues so multifaceted and interconnected that no single solution exists. Truly Transformational is our answer to these challenges, offering a holistic, sustainable approach to change that impacts not only strategy but the very fabric of the organisation.
Key Sections:
- Clarity on Transformation
Understand the distinction between simple "change" and profound, lasting transformation. Learn why many change initiatives fall short and how our framework helps bridge that gap.
- Truly Transformational Principles
Discover a set of guiding principles to help you achieve sustainable transformation, designed to turn Wicked Challenges into meaningful Wicked Outcomes. Key factors include:
- Embracing complexity through Informed Simplicity;
- Engaging every stakeholder for a people-centric journey;
- Maintaining a focus on measurable, outcome-oriented change.
- The Six ITs Framework
Our unique Six ITs framework—Resource IT, Collabor-IT, Frame IT, Innov-IT, Measure IT, and Iter-IT—gives you actionable tools to navigate complexity and foster continuous improvement across all areas of your organisation.
Resource it
Securing the different kinds of Resources required that are essential for resolving Wicked Challenges™. Not solely People but the Knowledge, Skills, Budget, and Time.
Collabor-it
Bringing colleagues together in the same room on the same page. Insights shared, dots joined, turn challenges into opportunities and outcomes!
FRAME It
Describing the situation so that all stakeholders engage and develop shared meanings. As a result, embrace a shared commitment on what success will mean.
INNOV-It
Encouraging innovative thinking to help make difficult choices and trade-offs and not be put off by the messy, combative, iterative ways decisions are often made.
Measure It
Scoring a realistic standard of success rather than a goal that is perhaps unrealistic. Towards improving Wicked Outcomes™ made-up of Solutions and Benefits.
Iter-It!
Committing to multiple iterations is essential to maintain flexibility and build confidence in the journey. Regular checkpoints provide accountability for the whole team.
- Transform to Thrive
Transformational change isn’t a luxury; it’s essential for organisations aiming to stay relevant in a world of exponential technological, economic, and societal shifts. A Truly Transformational approach addresses the root of challenges, fostering growth, resilience, and purpose-driven alignment.
- People-First Focus
Our approach is built on the belief that people are central to sustainable change. A truly transformed organisation isn’t just efficient but human-centric, inclusive, and adaptable.
- Turning Complexity into Opportunity
In a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) world, traditional models no longer apply. Through Truly Transformational methods, we turn complexity into an opportunity for innovation, ensuring that transformation is a journey, not a one-time event.
In today’s landscape, transformation is no longer a “nice-to-have” but a basis of survival! Organisations that embrace Truly Transformational change unlock the potential to be resilient, adaptable, and ultimately, successful.

- Definition: Truly Transformational is about fundamentally altering an organisation's culture, practices, values, and behaviours to better align with its goals and objectives. It's not just about implementing new processes or technologies; it's a holistic approach. (Page 5);
- Characteristics: The paper outlines characteristics of Truly Transformational changes, such as a radical shift in perspective, lasting impact, positive change, and holistic change that affects multiple areas. (Page 4)
- Wicked Challenges: The paper connects the concept of Truly Transformational to addressing "Wicked Challenges," which are complex issues that arise from dynamic complexity. The aim is to turn these challenges into "Wicked Outcomes." (Page 2);
- Importance: When done well, Truly Transformational changes can lead to significant improvements in organisational performance, employee satisfaction, and customer satisfaction. (Page 2);
- Myths: The paper also addresses prevalent myths associated with transformation programmes, offering a fresh perspective to burst some of these myths. (Page 5).
