 IMAGINE JUST IMAGINE
Imagine that everyone in your organiza9on
could see into the future

Imagine that you had the ability to paint the
future in dis9nct colors

Imagine that those colors would be the
colors of your organiza4ons future state
and you would exceed your goals

Imagine that everyone across the company
had the same vision and translated it to
their day-to-day job:

Looking outside your own industry for inspira9on is as useful as its ever been, but you need
people who can think laterally enough to apply an unfamiliar idea to their own situa9on.

II. Constant Change is Here

h"p://ayeletbaron.com
h"p://ayeletbaron.com
Understanding Change
Change happens every time
our expectations are
disrupted

Is it a major or
minor change for
her?

What is the level of
disruption in her
expectations?

h"p://ayeletbaron.com
How we change

h"p://ayeletbaron.com
Leadership? Sponsorship is Misunderstood
Change is Hard When Words Dont Match Actions

Which way should I go?

I am not confident in
where she is going so Ill
just stay here and wait.

h"p://ayeletbaron.com
 Cultural DNA is Key
Organizations that
embed practices,
technologies and values
in their DNA are more
agile, flexible and
achieve results.

There is no
way I can do
that. Thats
not how we roll
here

Resistance is Alive and Well

Weve tried

headed so I am
just going to
keep doing what
I am just I know.
going through
the motions.
They wont
notice.

How We (Humans)
Change Behavior

Most people dont

know how to
translate the changes
to their job, role or
project

The Only Constant is Change:
We Need Resilience Not More Ambassador Programs

Key Needs
Clear urgency of future

shared vision and execution
Time to think, create, fail
and innovate

Organization

 Sticky Organisations
A large organisa9on is almost nothing but a
massive knot of pre-exis9ng rela9onships.

When people join groups where change seems possible, the poten9al for that
change to occur becomes more real.
