S6E149: Five Levers for Change with Tony Welch

In this week’s pod, we were joined by Tony Welch to discuss the five levers for change.

Following a career in the Royal Navy, Tony has had a wide and varied career in industry, rooted in project controls, assurance and programme management. He has operated at the senior executive level and has a track record of business/programme turnarounds, transformational change and performance improvement. Military and civilian careers have provided business, profit and loss and programme management experience in defence and aerospace, information technology/systems and transportation.

The main topics we discussed on the podcast were as follows:

• Five Levers for change
  1. Lever 1: Anticipation and continuity
  2. Lever 2: Empowering to deliver
  3. Lever 3: Supporting teams
  4. Lever 4: Transversal learning
  5. Lever 5: Attracting and recognising
• Businesses are more open to changing their ways of working following the pandemic. People are also working more flexibly which is enabling internal mobility within organisations
• Anticipating learning and development needs is difficult when trying to implement training across a multi-national organization. It is important to work with Project Management associations and assess competencies across an industry benchmark
• Peer reviews of projects from a technical and project management perspective should take place throughout the project life-cycle as opposed to only being performed when a project is in difficulty
• Operational leadership is about creating an environment that is challenging but supportive
• Task, team, organization – people work for people not organisations
