Building organisational Capacity - Percolating Change

Описание: The organisations winning right now are not the ones with the best predictions.

They are the ones who stopped trying to predict at all.

☕️In this week’s Percolating Change – brewing better outcomes one sip a time - I sat down with Harrik Snow for a coffee chat about organisational resilience.

We were not talking about ‘managing change better.’ We were talking about something far more fundamental. Building change as a core capability.

Here is the differentiator that Harrick Shared:

STOP treating change as something that happens to your organisation.

START treating it as something your organisation can do repeatedly, sustainably, and without breaking your people.

Three things from our conversation I think about:

→ Your middle managers are your secret weapon (or your bottleneck)

Strategy does not fail in the boardroom. It fails in translation. Middle managers turn vision into action BUT only if we actually equip them to do it.

→ Sponsorship is a daily practice, not a keynote moment

Real leadership visibility isn't the town hall speech. It is the follow-through. The closed loop. The decision made. The team backed when things get messy.

→ AI will move fast. Your people need to move with confidence.

Technology enables transformation, but people are the transformation and without clarity, safety, and ownership, adoption does not happen.

Here is the question Harrik left me with:

‘If change capability is truly a competitive advantage... who actually owns it in your organisation today?’

Is it embedded in how you work or is it still treated like a phase that ends when the project does?

🎧 Full episode is live now and yes, we cover Harrik's five strategic levers for building this muscle across your org.

Worth a listen if you are tired of ‘managing disruption’ and ready to leverage it instead.

What is one thing your organisation does really well when it comes to building change capability? I would love to hear it in the comments.
