Can you leverage Big Change?

Colleagues,
 
Yesterday we looked at adjusting three variables (complexity, speed, intensity) to meet the needs of the organization during a change initiative. Unfortunately, Big Change is fraught with many other challenges:

Strategic action cycles (SAC) negate many of the common change challenges. I would love to come help your organization replace Big Change with strategic action cycles, but you don’t need to hire me before improving your change initiatives. Just apply the principles of leverage:

1. 0>1: The problem came before the symptom, so treat the problem.
2. A-B: Make it incremental.
3. MVP: Don’t get fancy, develop a minimally viable plan that can be implemented immediately.
4. M=V/E: Focus on providing value to the people who are working to implement the change. 

 
If I can help you fix one little problem right now, you will be highly motivated. That’s how change should work.
 
For your reflection, practice on yourself:

1. What is a big problem you are facing?
2. What is one small thing that would make it better?
3. If someone could help you fix that one small thing, would you breathe easier?

 
Do good and be well,
