Bridging the Transformation Deficit: A Thoughtful Approach to Organizational Change

An insightful piece by Cian O Morain and Peter Aykens in HBR highlights the growing “transformation deficit” in organizations – a gap between the increasing demands for enterprise change and the decreasing willingness of employees to support these changes. The numbers have diminished significantly. The article cites fatigue and the lack of prioritized, sustainable transformation as key contributors to this issue.

At CM Agility, we believe in a thoughtful, human-centred approach to change management that aligns with these insights. We understand that the success of Agile transformation isn’t about accelerating change but managing it in a sustainable, empathetic way that respects and supports your people. Small increments of continuous improvements that are a result of collaboration with the people directly impacted by the change have a meaningful long-term ROI.

Our services are designed to:

• Prioritize meaningful changes and provide clarity and transparency on objectives and measurement of success
• Manage change fatigue by ensuring the pace and extent of changes are manageable (controlling WIP)
• Enable employees to actively participate in the change process (welcoming feedback, participation, and empowering teams)
• Equip managers with the tools to build resilience and a readiness mindset within their teams

Don’t let the new reality of constant change overwhelm your organization. Let CM Agility guide you in managing transformation efficiently and empathetically. Visit our website and discover how we can help your organization navigate the path to successful Agile transformation.
