NGO change management is challenging - to say the least. A conversation with Barney Tallack to help you learn from a pro
Bio Barney Tallack
Quotes:
“The field of change management is huge and has no boundaries”
And on the financial implications of the pandemic for the global North-founded NGO sector:
“Our own pre-existing conditions have exacerbated the financial implications of COVID-10 for the sector”
In this chock-full episode, we discuss:
How to use a ‘political frame’ in change management, and harness the power of ‘positive resisters’ and informal leaders (i.e. people who have lots of power within an organization, though not posititional power)What does a people-centric approach to NGO change management entail?
We also discuss Barney’s recent paper on the financial implications of the COVID-pandemic for NGOs and the suddenly even more critical need for drastic change:
The “cognitive dissonance” of NGO staff in view of funding levels that had started to plateau and then decline well before the pandemic
How senior NGO leaders and their boards should act now to drive big change rapidly
