Study Notes

Risk Management in Leading Strategic Change

Risk management is crucial for smooth implementation of strategic change, involving identification of potential risks, assessment of their impact, and development of strategies to mitigate them.

Complexity Challenges

Complexity challenge arises from the pace of change, requiring a real-time, socially constructed approach to change.
Traditional approach to change is limited by three assumptions:
- Change starts at the top
- Change is rolled out
- Change is engineered
Instead, leaders need to build change platforms that enable anyone to initiate change, recruit confederates, suggest solutions, and launch experiments.

Limitations of Today's Organisations

Today's organisations were designed for discipline and efficiency, enforced through hierarchy and routinisation, making them ill-equipped to change proactively and profoundly.

Plan Resourcing Requirements

Determine the financial, human, and technological resources needed for the change.
This step is essential for effective management of complexities and ensuring a smoother transition to strategic change.
