No - I'm not buying all the CHANGE hype!
We look at our competitors and their success. Finds inspiration in articles, podcasts, ted-talks, etc. We envy that ’they’ are where we want to be. So we decide on CHANGE projects that will take us there - and preferably a little faster and a little longer than the others. We design CHANGE initiatives to revolutionise our business and the way we operate. With CHANGE-management; explains necessity, draws visions, handles resistance etc. All with the good intention of reaching the desired stable, well-defined final state where we will become so much better, and can do so much more.
CHANGE assumes that we have an unwanted (stable) well-defined start state and a desired (stable) well-defined end state. CHANGE as a transaction. This perception of the world as being in stable states that can be shaped and changed into other stable states largely ignores the complexity and dynamics that result from relationships and interactions between people. The question is whether the resistance we can experience to our CHANGE projects is instead a reaction against the inhuman worldview that lies in talking about CHANGE at all as something transactional?
Why are we not talking about constant and continuous development instead of resistance to change?
What if we instead focus on the ability to evolve rather than enforce (and survive) a revolution?
We say "Agile is a journey" - yes, it is worn and worn out. But it actually means - in practice - that through experience and proven learning you develop your company / organisation / professionalism. Is it hard? - Yes, it's hard. You need to put in the work, together - that's why it works!

So when we now (in just a minute) find our selves post-covid and think; the world is no longer the same, we are falling behind, competitors are ahead - something needs to CHANGE. Pause - take a break and think again.
Here's a little inspiration to think about in the break:
