When it comes to change – there are no shortcuts
Recently I heard an engineer say (and I am paraphrasing) sometimes the simplest solution is to implement a complex solution. Is this true for implementing change? 70% of change initiatives fail, whether you agree or disagree, what we do know, from reviews of change...
Hold your space -not your ground

What surviving an ALIEN invasion teaches us about thriving after an organisational restructure
The ALIENS ARE ATTACKING!!!!, what do we do? Blockbuster (and not so blockbuster) movies provide many options; think Men in Black, Pacific Rim, Independence Day, Armageddon, and so on. They all provide scenarios and options, but destroying Earth is an underling reason...
Adaptability to change: A Learning Organisation or Organisational Learning?

Mastering the art of disruption: Essential steps, strategies, questions.

Mental health service providers face many significant challenges in providing services through the NDIS. This coupled with the challenges of transitioning to the NDIS is impacting access to quality services. People with a mental illness are still falling through the...
The Commitment Line – Where is the Point of No Return?
How we implement change has evolved over the years, and numerous models, frameworks, processes and plans have been developed to guide organisations through change and its impacts. Change, even organisation wide change, fundamentally occurs at the individual level....
