Do you know what’s the primary reason for failures of many Transformations?

No, it’s not cost, management or manpower. It is legacy mindset followed by lack of vision and lack of people-centric approach.

Hence, Organizational Transformation should necessarily be part of every Transformation. OT or OCM necessitates organizations to follow strategic people approach and curb impact of Transformation. It works towards identifying patterns and behaviors and consequently make mindset shifts. Remember, transformation impacts everyone in the organization- from Intern to CEO.

Here are some of the guiding steps for Transformation Leaders to consider while enabling transformation:

1. Provide authorship to insiders.

2. Draft a balanced vision statement.

3. Put customer experience a priority. Study user graphs/ opinions.

4. Keep a people-first approach. Enable employee experience matrix.

5. Bring agility in decision making- Build Fast & Flexible decision processes.

6. Necessitate organization structure of transformation- especially cross-functional RRTs and designing collaboration teams.
