My current thoughts on organisational change / transformations

I'm currently seeing transformations as exhibiting the same characteristics as introducing a new product to a market place.

So I'm thinking more about mindshare and what influences how people decide to "buy" an idea or behaviour.  See New Lanchester Strategy and Stratified Systems Theory.

I prefer to emphasise the aspects of context to pay attention to (e.g., mindshare, what is already happening, business context, etc.) rather than a sequence of context-free change steps.

I've also always thought that there should be in general two change strategies in play simultaneously.  One that is coordinated, centralised, targeting leveraged initiatives and one that is de-centralised, grassroots,  opportunistic.  The first strategy deals with faster, more significant payback and the second strategy deals with long-term engagement and innovation.

Very recently, I'm interested in the Learn Startup for Change approach that Deloitte LEAN and Yuval Yeret are experimenting with.
