The Bleeding Edge Podcast

10 years of transformation in 3 months but will it stick...

We talk to Dr Alan Watkins about what happens next.  Alan is a polymath, top leadership development coach and author of 7  books including his latest one Change the workplace change the world...the HR (R)evolution.  

The world is accelerating and getting more and more complex with cycles running faster and faster.  Everything that can happen is happening and COVID-19 has accelerated 10 years.

Fear, regression, billigerence and aggression will be amplified.  Those that are in hiding will hunker down more.  Those people in change and transformation will use this as a catalyst and change more.  More chaos, more clarity.... the whole system has heated up.

Alan thinks we are waking up to the possibility that there is a new normal but the jury is out as to whether it will stick. If we cannot sustain a new normal then it will regress.  Our government systems, economic system, healthcare are all passed their sell by date and there is a great need for change.  To achieve that we have to change how we approach human development (I, We & It).  Alan sets out the fine balance of what happens next and a framework to approach the opportunity of developing the "I" and then the "We" in order to drive better quality IT solutions.

For business leaders Alan offers this.  The problem is 3 dimensional and the solution is 3 dimensional and it starts with developing you and then the quality of the human interactions in your team to get better quality solutions.

The gold for me in this episode is that if we stop "doing change" and start "being change" then we start to focus on the "I" and the "We" concepts that truly deliver better thinking and therefor better "It" solutions that can solve the complex problems we face.
