CHANGE MANAGEMENT IS BROKEN!
Welcome to a world in which ‘change management’ is an oxymoron. You cannot manage something that is often intangible and unknown.
Organisational change management as an approach needs to undergo radical transformation if it is to be of any value when constant change is the new black! Organisational change management practitioners will have to fundamentally change their thinking and approach to remain relevant.
In this paper I will explore why the traditional approaches to organisational change management will no longer work in a world of constant, rapid, unpredictable and complex change.
I describe the world in which all organisations now operate – one of disruption – and how to survive in that world.
Building resilience to change should now be the number one priority for organisations that wish to manage the people side of change. These organisations must attract talent, and retain the talent they have in order to remain relevant. In this paper, I explain how that resilience can be built.
I outline the changes organisations will have to make to survive in a world of constant disruption – some of them transformational.
