Tips to draft and implement organizational change (Feb 2023)


The only constant is change. Preparing and sharing a vision of your organization's future makes it more likely for that future to become a reality. Yet, you need to be careful to not over-engineer plans; you've got to leave space for flexible adaptation to changing conditions.

Our takeaways:

  1. Tension drives change: "What currently is, is not what it could ideally be." Make this gap as visual and concrete as possible.
  2. Focus on a shared vision of what your future looks like. Mapping tasks, responsibilities, skills and competencies increases participation and engagement in the change process.
  3. Successful change comes from a good balance between 1) having the power/authority to make a change and 2) inclusion and communication with those who are affected by the change.
