#50 Managing Change: a human-centred approach, with John Prentice

[2:11] Unless the people are on board, your change initiative might fall over. Is that right?

[2:33] To ensure that the business benefits are achieved, the way they were intended, if you’re not putting people as part of your risk matrix and your risk considerations, then you can be blindsided by the reaction people will have to whatever this great solution is, particularly if they have not been brought along on the journey.

If people were the last to find out that the project was even supposed to do that. So then the buy-in’s not congruent to the delivery of on time and on budget.

[3:15] Risk matrix. Can you explain what that is please John?

[4:10] Are people likely to adopt what we’re doing?

[9:14] Thinking about mindset, could it be that some individual contributors, managers, senior leaders express frustration with, ‘Oh, not another change. Oh, when’s it going to stop?’ Should we be cultivating a mindset where you go, ‘Oh, yet another change. Let’s be agile. Let’s be flexible. Just take it on board?
