Hi, it’s Richard from people make it work. 

In this video blog I am sharing people make it work’s change principles – ideas we have learned are essential to create organisational change that feels owned, driven and easeful.

The principles that I am sharing and talking about in the video include;

• Successful, owned and motivated change is a SOCIAL process (explore, imagine, decide, act) not a PROJECT process (define, implement and enforce)

• People don’t resist change, they resist being changed

• People are amazing

• Change is done BY people, not TO people

• Change happens in a context – it’s more like a GARDEN and less like a FACTORY.

• Love resisters, they make you strong, cause you to expand your reach and give your ideas definition

• Change Management is about creating a context in which change is INEVITABLE. Releasing the forces for change rather than driving them

Hear me expanding on these ideas and their importance for collaborative, effective organisational change and transformation in the video below.

Hi, it’s Richard from people make it work. 

We support cultural organisations through lots of challenging situations, and witness teams and individuals managing through complex external and internal events… In this blog I’m sharing some strategies that we can all use to support colleagues, communities and family members through the experience of navigating change that is feeling negative.

In the video link below I am sharing some models and ideas that you might want to explore;

The Kubler-Ross curve and how this might help us understand our own reactions and those of others, as well as suggesting some helpful responses we might consider

The Transitions curve and the implications of this insight for the process we might be going through

The thresholds model and the steps we might take to build appetite for change
