The 6 Drivers of Organisational Change

An interesting set of six drivers of organisational change, based on a discussion panel on change that I found interesting and worth sharing. The six drivers of change identified by the panel are:

  • The need for a crisis or some kind of “burning platform” to motivate transformational change
  • A clear vision and strategy … that allows room for iteration
  • A recognition that transformation is a multi-year journey
  • A need to put the customer or consumer in the center of the transformation equation
  • The critical importance of demonstrating to skeptics that different actions can lead to different results
  • The need to over-communicate to employees, customers, stakeholders, and shareholders

These are great insights into organisational change, which typically is a tough leadership challenge with a high failure rate. Good points to include in your change checklist….!
