- All change in organizations is belief change. So, create belief statements.
- PDCA has been around for decades and pretty much any feedback loop tool/method whether it be Toyota Katas, Agile Retrospectives and even Lean Startup are re-inventions of that cycle
- Each organization is unique and a custom approach to change is absolutely necessary
- change is really hard and unpredictable
- involve the people who are being asked to change in the change itself
- ADKAR method.
Organizations that take a mechanistic approach to managing work and people would likely go the route of a re-org because the hierarchy and structure is how work gets done. Organizations that take an organic approach to organizational design will watch how the structure emerges and that's a scary concept for many people. Spotify and Valve are great examples of that.
