Enhancing the Success of Transformational Change through Organisational Sensemaking?
In today's fast-paced business environment, organisations are constantly striving to deliver successful transformation initiatives. However, many of these efforts are derailed by barriers deeply rooted in people, leadership, and culture. While technical solutions are crucial, it is often these human factors that create the greatest obstacles to sustainable change.
This article is the result of the webinar I hosted last week, with Mike Roe , CEO of Tensense.ai , where we explored the key challenges organisations face when driving transformation and how these can be effectively addressed using #OrganisationalSensemaking?. We discussed actionable insights for leaders to overcome these barriers and achieve lasting success in their transformation efforts.
As a leader in the field of transformation, I have spent years helping organisations navigate these challenges, and I am excited to introduce a powerful new approach: Organisational Sensemaking?. Tensense.ai is a powerful AI-driven diagnostic tool that taps into the intuitive knowledge of the workforce, providing leaders with real-time insights to overcome barriers and drive successful, sustainable change.
Problem: The Key Barriers to Transformation
Research consistently shows that the most common causes of failure in change initiatives are related to people, leadership, and culture.
According to Prosci's Change Management Research, employee resistance, often driven by a lack of engagement or support, is one of the major barriers to success. Without visible sponsorship and support from leadership, employees are less likely to trust and embrace change.
Similarly, strong leadership is vital to establishing a clear vision and creating a coalition for change. John Kotter's 8-Step Process for Leading Change highlights how aligned and proactive leadership behaviours are essential for any transformation initiative. Without these key elements, even the most well-planned transformations are at risk of failure.
Finally, organisational culture — the shared beliefs, values, and behaviours — can create significant resistance to change. Cultural alignment is necessary for any transformation to be successful, and failing to address cultural barriers can cause change efforts to falter.
Solution: Organisational Sensemaking?
Organisational Sensemaking? provides a way for leaders to make sense of complex internal dynamics by answering two crucial questions: “What is the story here?” and “What do I do next?” By understanding the stories emerging within their organisation, leaders can respond more effectively to the challenges they face. This approach allows them to gather weak signals from within the workforce, identify underlying issues, and seize opportunities to drive transformation.
At the heart of this solution is Tensense.ai , a powerful AI-driven diagnostic tool that collects and analyses employee sentiments, organisational culture, and leadership behaviours. This tool acts as an early warning system, providing leaders with actionable insights on the effectiveness of their teams, the level of employee engagement, and the organisation's cultural readiness for change.

These examples highlight how using data to understand people, culture, and leadership dynamics can accelerate transformation efforts and drive positive, measurable results.
