Like Putting Roller Skates on a Hippo
Why organisational change fails, and what to do instead.
Why organisational change fails, and what to do instead.
Most change programmes don't fail because the plan was wrong. They fail because organisations try to move like something they aren't — forcing a slow, heavy institution through a transformation built for something lighter and faster, and wondering why it never quite lands the way the slide deck promised.
Drawing on twenty-five years leading technology transformation across major UK financial services organisations, Like Putting Roller Skates on a Hippo lays out the patterns behind change efforts that stall, the warning signs that show up long before the programme officially fails, and what a more honest approach to organisational change actually requires.
The real reasons transformation programmes stall, well before anyone admits it out loud.
Why the org chart is rarely the actual obstacle, and what usually is.
A practitioner's view from inside the rooms where change decisions actually get made.
