Culture change is free – comparison of systems leverage points for transformations

Culture of an organization often gets blamed for lack of transformation success. In this session you will learn how to take systems view of organization transformation. In organization systems, points of leverage are powerful because a small shift in one thing can produce big changes in everything. As a consequence the higher leverage points resist changing.

Introduction to various systems thinking models with colorful examples from real world coaching situations will help you to think through your transformation challenges and learn why culture change is free, when you replace willpower with knowledge.
