Episode notes
Use Small Experiments First
- Try small experiments to challenge entrenched ways of working and gather real evidence.
- Use experiment results to show alternatives either succeed or at least don't harm outcomes.
Ways Of Working Is A Discipline
- Treat 'how' as its own discipline equal to finance or marketing to shift resistant experts.
- Subject-matter experts often lack systems-thinking fluency and dismiss alternative working methods.
Pair Code Organizational Change
- Pair subject-matter owners with org-design partners who can 'pair code' organizational change.
- Build partnerships so authority holders get outcomes while someone drives new ways of working.
