What’s a secret ingredient to successful change and transformation?

An adaptable culture.

Embracing change starts with cultivating a culture that welcomes it. According to a report from Deloitte, organisations with adaptable cultures are 2.6 times more likely to excel in managing change.

How do you nurture such a culture?
⭐ Leadership Commitment: It begins at the top. The leadership team needs to embody adaptability and encourage it in others.
⭐ Inclusive Decision-Making: Involve teams in decision-making processes. When people have a stake in the change, they are more likely to support it.
⭐ Continuous Learning: Create a learning culture that celebrates curiousity and innovation. This helps to foster a mindset that thrives on change.
⭐ Celebrate Successes: Recognise and reward adaptability. When employees see the benefits of change, they are more inclined to embrace it.

A BCG report in 2020 found that 75% of transformation efforts fail to deliver on the hoped-for results. This isn’t because the tech or the process doesn’t work. It’s because their people weren’t ready or suitably equipped.

Planning for change once it’s already in motion is hard and unpredictable. Bringing teams together in a space where they can think and plan ahead allows them to build a vision, connection and trust.

It’s a solid starting point meaning delivering those hoped-for results will be well within your reach. Plus, you can start setting your sights on celebrating those wins!
