Pragmatic Pathways - New approaches to organizational
change |
Resistance to change can doom large-scale organizational
transformation. One way to help make success more likely
is through a series of smaller moves, smartly
made—following Pragmatic Pathways to fundamental,
long-term change.
This paper seeks to show how organizations can
achieve large-scale transformations in a series of
smaller, pragmatic steps. Through new technologies,
practices, and other parties in their business
ecosystem, organizations can make success more likely by
decreasing initial investments and increasing their
initiatives’ velocity. We propose that through small
moves smartly made, organizations can address their
short-term tactical needs as well as create the
fundamental, long-term changes needed to survive in a
world of constant disruption. We call this new change
methodology “Pragmatic Pathways,” and have defined three
separate approaches that can be deployed depending on
circumstances and organizational cultures.
