31st July 2018 | Prioritising Change

Decide which changes are most important.

• Focus on the changes with the biggest potential benefits, not the easiest ones to implement.

Programme continual smaller changes rather than a few large ones.

• Too many changes are hard to digest and can interfere with one another.

For example, avoid moving premises when launching a new product line.

• Small scale change is easier to manage and easier to make work.
• Continual successful changes breed a positive culture of change.
  

Find a good person in one part of your business and implement change there.  Once it has worked it is easier to convince the rest of the company that the change is beneficial.
