In a recently posted HBR blog entry, editor Sarah Green made us think about what is really possible in terms of making major transformations happen. On one hand, our experience has shown an organization only has so much bandwidth to make significant changes occur. However, on the other hand, when companies and specifically teams focus on a small number of significant areas, amazing results can happen quickly. What must be in place for it all to work really well? Where do the most impactful changes start — wherever there is a committed number of focused people — at the top — with function heads? We believe the answer is all of the above and there is no one right answer here. What is your experience? What has worked incredibly well in your organization when undergoing a massive change?
How much change is possible?
