Can you transform the chaos of change into an opportunity for growth? Join me, Jason Little, as we tackle the evolving landscape of change management with innovative strategies. Our latest episode promises a fresh perspective, moving beyond the traditional and embracing a sensemaking approach that balances both exploration and action. Discover how to leverage the "last responsible moment" to make crucial decisions and the power of running experiments to foster learning. We shed light on how AI tools can streamline processes and enhance engagement, ensuring that your change initiatives are not only visible but highly effective.

Explore the art of building trust and co-creation in organizational change, with stories of successful transformations that prioritize meaningful dialogue over mere communication. Uncover the evolving role of change managers, akin to full-stack developers, who engage leaders in co-creation rather than imposing preset strategies. We'll navigate the complexities of structural and strategic changes, highlighting the five levers of organizational change. Wrapping up with a creative twist, discover how Lego Serious Play isn't just child's play but an impactful tool for tackling complex problems, fostering exploration, and driving meaningful change. Join us as we transform the way change is managed, one innovative approach at a time.

Jason Little is an internationally acclaimed speaker and author of Lean Change Management, Change Agility and Agile Transformation: 4 Steps to Organizational Transformation. That Change Show is a live show where the topics are inspired by Lean Change workshops and lean coffee sessions from around the world. Video versions on Youtube
