Having designed and chaired over 20 change management conferences across North America I've seen and heard some of the continent's top change management experts.  Too many rely too heavily on models and loose sight of the people and the goals of change.  Not Jason.  While applying many of the principles of lean change he remains focussed on what works.  And if ever there was a time to focus on what works rather than change models it's now.

In this episode Jason discusses the importance of the following:

1.Putting Cause and Purpose above Urgency
2. Replacing Communication with Meaning and Dialogue
3. Thinking about Experimentation not Execution
4. Rejecting notions of Resistance - think instead of Response
5. Seeking opportunities for Co-Creation not Buy-In

We also talk about my least favourite change metaphor - "The Burning Platform"

If you're not going through change right now you can safely ignore this episode.  If you are you might want to check it out.
