People change when they see the light, or feel the heat –
That’s why most change initiatives fail.
Tackling Your Pain Point
Finding that culture change is the hardest thing to change?
Change is constant. Inevitable even. So why is it still the hardest thing organisations face?
Whether it’s culture, strategy, structure, or systems, most change initiatives fail to deliver. Let’s face it, people have change fatigue, so they resist. Not only that, but our leaders simply aren’t equipped to lead the change.
So what happens? People revert back to their old ways. There’s often too much complexity, silo-working and general misalignment. Yet still, leaders are expected to lead with clarity and confidence.
The result? Delayed transformation, wasted investment, and frustrated leaders who know things must change but they simply don’t know how to make change stick.

Meet Jo Wright
Let’s make change stick
Over a career that spans over three decades, Jo has experienced failed initiative after failed initiative. Only when she became the Change Lead on a transformational change programme, did she recognise what had been happening all along –
People simply don’t change when you tell them to!
People change when they either ‘see the light’ or they ‘feel the heat’. Anything in between creates a comfort zone at best, total inertia at worst.
Jo recognised that in order to inspire change, people need to feel seen, heard and valued. They need to have their opinions sought, and they need to feel listened to. Not only that, but culture change is a process. And it takes time. And while many organisations and shareholders are seeking quick-fix solutions, they simply don’t exist.
