I-Change - Philosophy

Philosophy

I-Change is all about making Change happen. We believe that this is a very practical discipline. Change isn't something that happens as a result of the latest trendy theory to be published in the Harvard Business Review, or due to the latest book written by some millionaire business guru. It usually comes about by doing certain basic things well and consistently. You need to

Have strong, determined, sensitive, visionary leadership
Know where you are going
Know if you are on course for getting there
Have a plan of how to do so. Check it often, and modify it if you need to.
Communicate.. communicate.. communicate! This means listening as well as telling
Manage fear; it is inevitable, both your own and everyone else's
Install supportive systems
Remove obstacles to change
Support and praise good examples
Resource it properly (if you can't add resources, then remove jobs that add no value)
Stop things as well as starting new initiatives
Remember why you are making the change and remind others
Encourage and support people
Be honest, with yourself and others

Do these things and you will probably be successful. Remember however, no matter how good you are, that if you are part of the system, then you must be part of the problem too! Of course, you are also part of the solution. Bringing in neutral outsiders can add real value, because they change the chemistry of the system as well as adding additional (expert) resources.

Call us now to find out how we can help you see things more clearly and assess where external support could make a difference for you.
