Transformation.  A word that is the focus of every successful business and organizational in the world that wants to sustain its success.  

Business process transformation, digital transformation, culture transformation are all common concerns of CEO’s and their vision their organization’s success.  

But what about culture?  

As organizations continue to transform their business to meet demand, whether brought on by customer needs, competition or a pandemic, one thing is certain:  A failure to align a business transformation vision with team members’ capabilities, expectations and behavior can sabotage its success. Without the support and capabilities of an organization’s team members, digital or process transformation will most likely fail.

Any kind of transformation in the workplace can cause fear and discomfort if not given the proper attention from the beginning.  And let’s face it, the biggest challenge of any digital or process transformation is not technology or programs – it’s people.  Misalignment, misunderstanding, conflict, mistrust, fear, resistance are all about people.  And people can be the biggest sabotage of any transformation.  

Preparing workplace culture for transformation can be difficult. It requires a collaborative effort between Senior Leadership, Business Process Leaders, IT, Human Resources, all departments and individuals across the organization. Successful transformation starts by educating the workforce, understanding their capabilities, creating full alignment with the new vision, and creating a culture where team members will embrace and push the change forward.
