Whether we like it or not, most of the time our organisations are going through some sort of change or transformation. Sometimes the process is smooth and easy, but most of the time it is difficult and fraught with resistance. So what can we learn from organisations who have successfully undergone major transformations with really positive results?
The management consulting company McKinsey & Co recently published an article on this very topic, and outlined the four key success factors that ensure the organisations concerned not only survived the transformation, but exceeded their goals. The article can be found here, and is rich with useful information and resources.
Reading the article in its entirety will give you the context and full picture, but the four points in summary are:
- Engage every level of the organisation
- Create excitement and pride
- Apply a range of learning techniques
- Institutionalize through HR
While the article is set in the context of large organizations, the principles are just as relevant for small to medium enterprises as well. A challenge would be for you to think how your entity could build these four factors into its culture.
