06 Making change happen
Manage episode 449101910 series 3597318
Today, I talk to Katherine Farnon about her pivot from Global Head of Digital Experience Strategy & Operations at Vodafone to becoming a change management consultant.
As anyone with leadership experience knows, simply asking or telling people to adopt a new system, structure, process, or way of working is unlikely to have much success. Change is harder than that. As you will hear, it’s a deeply human endeavour, and systematic change management has lots of parallels with the way we design and innovate.
This conversation follows nicely from the previous two episodes in that it explores a potential career track for some Design and Innovation leaders and, more importantly, a skill set that could integrate into their initiatives.
