Over the past few months, I’ve had a lot of conversations with clients, prospects, and colleagues about the uncertainty of this moment—and the growing desire to rethink how their organizations operate.

But despite this desire, there’s often a sense of paralysis.

Having lived through and supported both stalled and successful transformations, I thought I’d share a perspective on what effective transformation actually looks like. Specifically: the key phases, and the common traps that can derail progress.

This will be a short series over the next few weeks.

????. ???????????????????????????????????? – You sense the need for change, even if you can’t yet define it. You just know the current path isn’t sustainable, whether it’s what you’re doing, how you’re doing it, or both.

I’ll dig into each of these phases, and the risks and traps that come with them, in the posts to come.
