What Is The Enemy Of Change? And, Why? What Can We Do About This?
What Is The Enemy Of Change? And, Why? What Can We Do About This?
Most organisations face the need to undergo more frequent transformations to stay competitive and agile. Many organisations undertake the fundamental shift from a traditional organisational model designed for the industrial economy to an agile model designed for the digital economy. In the post coronavirus future, organisations need to find a balance between what worked before and what needs to happen to succeed in the next normal. The past is a very active player that can obstruct the success of the change. The organisation’s employees often actively remember previous projects that were carried out slowly and with difficulty. In need are behaviours for responding swiftly to technological innovation, changing social relations, new divisions of labour, and new ways of working.
Usually, we handover the project result. But now we talk about the transformation of the people and the organisation. We do this in such a way that the organisation becomes more successful because of the project. Through the change of attitude and behaviour, we can achieve projected benefits and goal. Individuals will need to develop a whole new way of seeing the world, their business, and even themselves. This demand constant innovation to keep up, get ahead and stay ahead. However, frequently people are left struggling to cope with the strictures of old mindsets rooted in the biological predispositions of human decision-making which include the effects of bias – heuristics that could “lead to severe and systematic errors”. We will share approaches and strategies that fuel support for change and transformation in individuals, organisations, and society.
