The Importance of Collaborative Change

Change is a constant factor in any organization, but pushing it without understanding the team’s concerns often leads to resistance. A notable experience shared involves a process improvement initiative where initial resistance stemmed from a lack of team involvement. Recognizing the need for collaboration, the approach shifted from enforcing changes to co-creating solutions with the team. This process not only reduced resistance but also fostered a sense of ownership among team members, ultimately making them more receptive to change.
