IMAGINE … JUST IMAGINE Imagine that everyone in your organiza1on could see into the future Imagine that you had the ability to paint the future in dis1nct colors Imagine that those colors would be the colors of your organiza4on’s future state and you would exceed your goals Imagine that everyone across the company had the same vision and translated it to their day-‐to-‐day job: • Would the vision become a reality? • What would we be doing differently as a
result?
“Looking outside your own industry for inspira1on is as useful as it’s ever been, but you need people who can think laterally enough to apply an unfamiliar idea to their
own situa1on.”

Understanding Change Change happens every time our expectations are disrupted
Is it a major or minor change for
her? What is the level of disruption in
her expectations?
Leadership Alignment? Change is Hard When Words Don’t Match Actions
Which way should I go? I am not confident in where she is going so I’ll just stay here and wait.
Cultural DNA is Key

There is no way I can do that. That’s
not how we roll here
20th Century Skill Sets Don’t Always Work in the 21st Century
I read the email but I have no idea what they want me to do
If I just keep blowing bubbles,
will anyone notice?
I am just going
through the motions.
They won’t notice.

How We (Humans) Change Behavior
Most people don’t know how to translate the changes to their job, role or project
The Only Constant is Change: We Need Resilience Not More Ambassador Programs
Key Needs • Clear urgency of future
state • shared vision and execution • Time to think, create, fail
and innovate • Leadership support and
engagement • Skills development • Embedded DNA • Collaboration and dialogue
