Hearts & Elephants

Hearts of the matter:

Change is hard

In organisations change requires sustained executive leadership & broad based support

This particular change involves devolving responsibility & decision making

Hearts & Elephants

Elephants in the room:Who is responsible for this change & how will they demonstrate sustained leadership?

How will broad based support be cultivated, supported & sustained?

Is the organisation ready to devolve responsibility & decision making?
