In business transformations, the invisible risk is ”change fatigue”.

How quickly can the organisation absorb change without becoming exhausted?

Because even when teams understand the strategy, buy into the meaning, and accept the transformation, their ability to adapt can become saturated.

This is called change debt:

the organisation is asked to adapt more than it can actually absorb.

To avoid this, change governance is effective:

  1️⃣ Manage a portfolio of transformations,

2️⃣ Prioritise and sequence projects

3️⃣ Have the courage to ‘stop doing’

4️⃣ Measure the organisation's actual absorption capacity
