Working with change
If you’re looking to make change happen in your organisation, here are seven principles that will help you succeed.
1. Use your presence and creativity
they are as important as your ideas.
2. Analyse your environment
be pragmatic about opportunities and constraints.
3. Channel your ideas
structured experiments help people engage with change.
4. Keep it simple
cut through complexity and watch confidence grow.
5. Put yourself on the line a little
it helps you and your project get noticed.
6. Have the difficult conversations
make them safe and honest .
7. Start anytime, anywhere and follow your instincts.
don’t wait for a big project to land on your desk.
These principles are powerful because they are energising, and you can use them to bring your projects and ideas alive. Here are some examples of people in different situations who did just that.
