The last message about the floor?

11/20/2020

0 Comments

 
Colleagues,
 
I hope this is the last message I will ever write about new floors! They are beautiful, and it was well past time, but maybe an incremental approach would have been better.
 
Way back on October 20, I noted that among the reason we decided to embrace a big change were:
  • We have the resources.
  • Our people are ready and can handle the disruption.
 
The problem with big change is that so much can go wrong before you ever get to the final result. For example:
  • Key people become unavailable
  • The project is delayed, creating uncertainty and disruption
  • Capacity and attention get pulled into other areas
  • Unexpected events create turbulence and limit people’s abilities to invest in change
 
All of these things happened in our project. What about your last big change project?
  • What was the final impact – did you get the results you expected?
  • What barriers did you face?
  • What conditions changed in the midst of the effort?
 
As you may be contemplating your next big change, take some time to think it over. Is there a way to apply leverage and to engage in a series of strategic action cycles, as opposed to one long sustained effort?
 
Do good and be well,
 
Frederick
