Transformation Professionals

While transformation professionals expect the organisations they work with to be make a break from the past and innovatively take advantage of digital, many of these people haven't yet recognised that they need to do exactly the same themselves. It's like the out of shape fitness instructor or the marriage counselor who files for divorce, or the business development coach with no customers. In the way that company leaders need to first change their mindsets and adopt new ways of working, individual professionals also need to do the same when it comes to their search for new opportunities.

In his book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" Stephen Covey taught us to begin with the end in mind. He suggested that while we know there's value in setting goals, that the greater value is in leading those goals to fruition. A workforce can’t help leaders drive towards the company's goals unless those leaders also provide the resources, authority, skills, tools, and expectations for the transformation journey. That in turn requires new habits to form in people at all levels. Habits that play a part in the many different aspects of transformation.

Project managers really are some of the best candidates to become transformation managers. Because to carry out their typical project management work, they already have to bring together all disparate aspects of theory, reality, vision, process, value, politics and human nature to create successful outcomes. And of courses every project manager has a unique set of strengths and weaknesses, which will determine how well they could undertake a transformation role. There's a very rewarding transformation opportunity that awaits project managers who are prepared to complement their core project management capabilities.

The threat of disruption from smaller, more digitally savvy firms has motivated big corporates to launch efforts to build disruptors of their own. A few have succeeded, while many are wondering how to convert new ideas into new revenue. Andy Binns - an Executive Fellow at the Center for the Future of Organization, at Drucker School of Management - explains that most firms over emphasize ideation at the expense of two other innovation disciplines - incubation and scaling. He also elaborates on what they can do to correct that and accelerate the odds of success.

Transforming an industry also means transforming the way you do business, and digital economy companies like Ocado look very different to others.

When Ocado started, the founders set out to change the way people shop for groceries. 20 years later they’re a world-leader which is growing at an accelerating rate.

Written-off for years by naive cynics with antiquated mindsets, CEO Tim Steiner pursued his vision and has shown us how legitimate transformation can create a new future - not just for one company, but for an entire industry.

A high IQ and an abundance of Emotional Intelligence are not enough for transformation leaders to thrive and sometimes survive for very long in large organisations.

The dynamics that exist both within and across the various business units and functions can be challenging for someone with high levels subject matter expertise, but low levels of political intelligence.

The best transformation leaders have matured their political intelligence in a way that enables them to interact strategically with others.

Programme Management is a critical success factor in transformation.

But despite the best of intentions, hard work and a desire to succeed, many people assigned to manage and lead programmes are simply not up to the task.

And a good programme manager will be able to identify the shortcomings in a programme and predict the consequences, long before they unfold. 

Some people are great at managing projects, or an operational part of the business, but managing a programme of work is another ball game. Let’s face it, being a top tennis player doesn’t make you a top squash player.
