Time To Change? How To Know?

Companies with little interest in pushing the boundaries won’t benefit a lot from a serious change program. Nor will companies that lack a sense of urgency. But, for determined organizations facing critical opportunities to accelerate, this is a great time to embark on the valuable path of change.
I’ve put together a shortlist of questions to help you know if your organization would benefit from a change agenda:
  • Is your company in a position to accelerate? If not, what’s in the way?
  • Are you positioned for value – or are you selling based on features, functions or price?
  • Are you a thought leader in your market space?
  • Is your competitive environment exploding in a frenzy of hype?
  • Do you have a new offering that could leapfrog you into a desirable new position?
  • Do you have big news that could change the face of your company?
  • Do you have what it takes to challenge the big dogs? Or are you a big dog feeling the heat from challengers?
  • Are you limited in your ability to reach up and over in your best customers?
  • Are you seeing effective collaboration between marketing, product, and sales?
  • Do you have the critical talent to push your brand promise to the next level?
  • Is your company being valued fairly?  Are you at risk of becoming a commodity?
If you were to honestly answer the questions posed above, what would you learn? Is it time to change? If so, what’s stopping you?

    There are certainly other questions to consider, but this list includes a set of common issues I've seen in the various change programs I've been involved with. What questions jump out for you?

  2. Tom Butta says:

    A really important question every leader must ask themselves before taking on a change program is this: Does transformation motivate you? It’s such an important issue that I featured it as its own blog earlier this year.

    I've been working on a study recently … about transformation project leaders. The best ones are brought in from the outside to drive change … people who have a clear understanding of what it really takes to manage the transition. The findings make a good case for hired guns in the "change" department.
