You can’t Transform without Changing but you can Change without Transforming.
This is why Change Impact Assessments should always start with clearly articulating:
What Does Success Look Like (WDSLL)
WDSLL
By Role
Leadership
For Leadership WDSLL is about articulating and communicating a desirable vision of change in the language of the possible (Yes We Can)
Management
For Management WDSLL is about TRANSLATING ‘what is possible’ into a Performance Management Framework so you can Plan, Execute, Assess and Adjust.
Teams
For Teams WDSLL is about Day-1 effectiveness and understanding what is changing, when is it changing and how will it affect the work.
WDSLL
By Organization Alignment
People
For People WDSLL is about UNDERSTANDING What Is Changing, Who Is Impacted, What is the Effect on the Work and What are the Implications for the Organization.
Processes
For Processes WDSLL is about optimizing the organization of ACTIVITIES such that RESOURCES can be effectively converted into PRODUCTS and or SERVICES.
Systems
For Systems WDSLL is about optimizing the ‘Sequence of Technical Transactions’ (including the addition of AI) necessary to EFFICIENTLY transform Resources into Revenue, and Revenue into Profits.
