You Don’t Need a Grand Strategy to Achieve Organizational Change

Transformation is not about decisions made in a boardroom, but about what happens on the ground. To succeed, transformational efforts need to empower line-managers and employees with more than just lip service, but with real resources that help them solve the real problems that come with adopting new practices. Managers can do this by starting transformations with a small, but meaningful, project, encouraging — not threatening — employees to participate, and scaling transformation efforts through workplace relationships, among other tools.
