Change is inevitable — but managing it successfully requires more than simply having a clear vision.
In this episode of KUW Insight, Ade Ojomo explores the people dimension of change and why understanding your stakeholders is critical to successful transformation.
Drawing on examples ranging from the biblical account of Moses and the Israelites to the Global Financial Crisis, COVID-19 and the current impact of artificial intelligence, the discussion examines how people respond differently when confronted with change.
At the heart of the episode is a simple stakeholder framework:
- Blockers — those who resist the vision
- Neutrals — those who are neither for nor against it
- Supporters — those who support the change
The episode concludes with a practical six-step framework covering vision, change drivers, stakeholder identification, stakeholder mapping, communication, implementation and training.
