Put the framework
in place to let
others deliver
Process
Clearly the process of
transformation is a huge
subject and could have an
entire report dedicated
to it alone. There were a
number of learnings that
interviewees felt were critical
to getting a transformation
programme underway and
maintaining its momentum.
This was one of the most fundamental
learnings from our research. Those
people who were getting most traction
in transforming weren’t trying to do it by
themselves. They’d put in place frameworks
to allow others to deliver in a controlled
and co-ordinated plan of attack, building
effective, collaborative relationships across
the business with shared responsibility.
Clearly this required some fundamental
building blocks to be put in place, such as a
clear vision, a supportive board etc, but by
taking this approach they also engaged the rest
of the organisation, there was less friction and
transformation moved forward with less effort.
Those trying to do it by themselves were left
trying to push water up hill.
