Next Level Change Success

When organisations are seeking to improve performance, rather than just seeking new innovations, they should review their people aspects. After all ideas, systems and how they are adopted and general efficiencies often relate to how leaders and their teams are performing.

Often, poor performance can also lead to more siloed behaviours and less than ideal behaviours creeping in under pressure. Have a listen and consider some of the actions suggested so you can explore and leverage the potential of your people.

In this episode we cover how January is a month where you can set yourself up for success in 2025. There is often more time in most organisations to plan and reflect and improve your teams rhythms to embody reflection and improve performance.

By setting in time to reflect and learn, you will then have time you can use to change course if you need to, if or when change comes in from left field. So how are you setting your program, team or even yourself up for success in change this year?

Every year in January it is an ideal time to reflect on how you approached and dealt with change the year before and consider how you might want to change some habits this year. If you have read Atomic Habits by James clear you will know that just choosing some small habits to introduce or even replace can result in big shifts for you.

Considering one of the major change themes every year is about change resilience, you can reflect upon replacing some not so great habits with some better ones to assist in helping you deal with stress, and thus build some change resilience.

Just remember this is all up to you!

And when you know that change is inevitable but that you may wish to experience it differently then maybe think about what it is that you are waiting for?

Ensure all projects are visible Reprioritise if a subject matter expert is overwhelmed Pace the change in a different way Just to name a few of the simple tactical responses if this is the case.

In this Episode of Next Level Change Success we cover off strategies to ride the emotional roller coaster as a result of change taking place. When there is such an emotive reaction to a change the response can delay progress if not handled well and can even de-rail a project or program. Following are some of the tactics we talk about:

It is an emotive time globally right now and perhaps these are some strategies which can assist you in any change you are running.

There is a saying 'Feel the fear and do it anyway', and this is also the case for Change. Fear can be a very real emotion which arises, and in fact if there isn't an emotional response at some stage of the change process it may be that those who are impacted don't quite understand it.

So what can you do to support those who feel the fear? Also are you aware that the change practitioner themselves will be feeling the fear before go live as well?

Learn about who may feel the fear through the change process and what can be done about it.

Today we talk about the subtle aspects of change. Have you heard of the butterfly effect? This is the belief that everything is connected. As you develop your change intelligence within the organisation you will notice how much change is always taking place. You will also become aware that many smaller changes will amount to a transformation.

When commencing a Transformation Program there are some common mistakes which are made. Over the years, these mistakes have resulted in false starts and rework needing to be undertaken which wastes time and money.

The most common mistakes are:

1) Leadership alignment

2) Resourcing

3) Business as usual misalignment

4) Programs of work are not revisited

5) Strategic decisions are scrambled and not handled efficiently.

Have a listen about how these can hamper your Transformation program, stifling any sort of momentum and causing tension across your organisation.
