Organizational Change
At work this year I've had the pleasure of rebuilding our development process. This has essentially been an organizational change program. I've learned a ton but a recent HBR article pointed out why org changes fail and I've found that this helped me refocus on completing the change.
Error 1: Not Establishing a Great Enough Sense of Urgency
Error 2: Not Creating a Powerful enough Guiding Coalition
Error 3: Lacking a Vision
Error 4: Undercommunicating the Vision by a Factor of Ten
Error 5: Not Removing Obstacles to the New Vision
Error 6: Not Systematically Planning for, and Creating, Short-Term Wins
Error 7: Declaring Victory Too Soon
Error 8: Not Anchoring Changes in the Corporation's Culture
