Tackle The Barriers to Real Transformation
Change and transformation is an ever-present force in life. In business, the ability to anticipate, manage, guide or mitigate change is critical both for survival and competitiveness. In personal life too, the initiating and managing change with skill is essentially one’s ability to deal with an ever more complex world, and a major factor related to success and well-being.
As with anything in life, improving one’s ability to manage a particular subject, one must first understand:
- the subject as it relates to the situation,
- one’s own position in relation to the subject, and
- the dynamics of all other relevant factors and players involved.
In the management schools as well as in academic and business literature, there are countless approaches for conceptualizing and managing change & transformation. Many of these approaches & frameworks deal with organizational, strategic or process-driven change.
My approach is different: as a boutique people development practice, my focus is at the personal as well as group/team level. I view change as a force to be understood and influenced at the level of the individual before dynamics of greater complexity, be it at team or organizational level, can be tackled successfully and sustainably.
