Making Transformation More Human, More Honest and More Likely to Stick
The Five Lenses of Transformation
Five practical ways to make transformation more human, more honest, and more likely to stick. Explore each lens, try a 2-minute action, and see the payoff.
Seeing What Shapes Us
What’s really driving our choices — intent or habit? Build self-awareness: notice drift, name legacy constraints, align to values, and widen agency so people can shape outcomes.
Why it matters
- Prevents activity without meaning.
- Keeps the story honest and coherent across teams.
- Surfaces hidden patterns before they harden into blockers.
Try it now (2-minute action)
- Run a “drift check”: in one sentence, what are we becoming — not just doing?
- Ask one person: “What constraint are we not saying out loud?”
The Discipline of Possibilities
Who shapes what’s next — and to what end? Turn bold ideas into disciplined practice: intention, collective vision, decade thinking, learning with pioneers, AI as co-pilot, and testable structures.
Why it matters
- Prevents tech-only futures that ignore people.
- Builds momentum that compounds over years.
- Makes imagination inclusive and actionable.
Try it now (2-minute action)
- Write a one-line intention: “We’re exploring X to achieve Y for Z.”
- Invite one pioneer to react to your sketch of the future.
Looking Again with Purpose
What are we really saying yes to? Question assumptions, surface the unsaid, and integrate perspectives so choices align logic, emotion, and purpose — not just the business case.
Why it matters
- Stops autopilot thinking and inherited promises.
- Makes difficult truths discussable and useful.
- Encourages leaders to model curiosity and humility.
Try it now (2-minute action)
- Run a “Yes / No / Let go” on your active initiatives.
- Ask: “What’s the unsaid that could change this decision?”
The Hard-Wiring of Real Change
How does value really flow? Connect intention to execution: outcomes over outputs, aligned operating model and incentives, adaptive core, ecosystem thinking, and deliberate embedding of new ways of working.
Why it matters
- Prevents project theatre where old habits persist.
- Aligns systems, structures, and behaviour for durability.
- Shares accountability for outcomes across functions.
Try it now (2-minute action)
- Define 3–5 outcome metrics that people actually feel.
- Move one decision closer to where the work happens.
Being Human
Are we designing with, not just for, people? Centre emotion, lived experience, day-in-the-life insight, genuine involvement, and a narrative with a human thread — so change feels like belonging, not compliance.
Why it matters
- Turns communication into connection.
- Builds trust and energy that sustain momentum.
- Makes feedback a mirror, not a metric.
Try it now (2-minute action)
- Ask: “What would ‘seen and supported’ look like this week?”
- Walk the floor and map one real “day in the life”.
