The 10% Differentiator

1. Ideas, Insights and Inspirations

It is a known statistic that 70% of all change management efforts fail. One reason for this is that we underestimate the energy and effort it takes to get to the other side of change i.e. to implement the change.

The other reason is that we identify the wrong problem to solve. We are very good at coming up with a new strategy, but identifying what the real problems and pain points are, not so. Have we spent the time with customers, stakeholders, and employees to understand what is it that they are actually thinking, saying, feeling or doing?

There is a good reason why design thinking and empathy principles are so successful when dealing with change.

2. Reflections

Work-life integration does not imply working all the time, but fluidly shifting priorities based on immediate needs, sometimes giving more attention to work and other times to personal or family issues.

3. Tools for Transformation

If you find yourself getting bogged down and overwhelmed by all the 'noise', try starting your day doing something you enjoy. Even if it means getting up just that little bit earlier, spend time getting into a positive mindset.

Starting your day in the right frame of mind sets you up for success.

Enjoying a morning coffee and watching the birds in my garden sets the tone for me.
