With the rapid pace of change that organisations are experiencing , change is not merely an event but a continuous journey that organisations must navigate. The ability to lead change effectively has become a pivotal competency for leaders across all tiers. Yet, according to Gartner (Top 5 Priorities for HR Leaders in 2024), an astonishing 82% of HR leaders believe managers throughout their organisations are not adequately equipped to lead change. This gap highlights a pressing need for innovative solutions that prepare leaders to guide their teams through the complexities of change with assurance and resilience.
Change has transcended the irregular, linear approach to become a "continuous and stacked" phenomenon, layering one change initiative upon another. This relentless pace is resulting in change fatigue among leaders and their teams, rendering it increasingly challenging to maintain engagement, performance, and engagement. In many cases leaders are, either consciously or unconsciously, defaulting back to it’s not my priority. Yet, good, focused change leadership is essential to realising the benefits of almost any change that is implemented.
With this context,, the conventional methods of managing change—often episodic, centrally driven and top-down—are insufficient to meet the actual needs of organisations. No manner of planning by centralised Programme Management offices will work without truly enabling leaders and teams to take greater control.
