Making it work

Dimensions of Change

The processes of change take place across three interconnected dimensions. Each organization needs its own unique approach on the targeted merging or separation of these dimensions:

Content Dimension
What areas need to be addressed? The focus can be on models, tools, routines, processes, decision-making, resources, roles, self-observation, workplace atmosphere and more.

Social Dimension
How can we work together differently to create the future we want? How can we transform our roles and relationships when it comes to hierarchy, dialogue, trust, goals and conflicts?

Temporal dimension
How does each step affect the next? How do different levels interact over time? How do we relate the future, the present and the past?

A Change Process guided by Questions

Planning is crucial, but what actually happens is often different to what we expect. It all starts by asking: How do we proceed? In a transformative process we then visualize the overall framework of our approach and adjust, add or change things over time.

Rather than simply pushing for action and deadlines our thought and practice comes from a shared understanding of future leadership. This means asking: Who needs to communicate what? When do they need to do so? And with whom? All with regards to reflection, decision-making and implementation.

Integrate and Communicate, Review and Reflect

Successful transformations require tangible actions: Regular planning and review meetings provide all stakeholders with a comprehensive understanding of the changes taking place. Transformative design projects help identify and implement the cross-unit topics that shape the desired future. Leadership coaching and knowledge transfers improve overall understanding and role effectiveness during the process.

Reflection and exchange at all levels ensure that transformative potential and perspective stay present. Additional test and feedback loops enable readjustments when required. Finally, continuous communication and information sharing enhance overall participation, progressing the transformation even further.
