Organisations sometimes need to make dramatic changes in performance. Faced with a sudden change in the market, entry of a new competitor or a creeping reduction in competitiveness that is only spotted when a new boss arrives who do you make dramatic change happen?
This scale of change can arise when the company is in a deep crisis such as a critical cash shortage. Often the need to survive can generate the energy and determination that will pull companies round. Sometimes it can be too late to make the scale and speed of performance change needed when cash becomes very critical. Without some form of crisis but the continuing need to make large scale change many companies resort to using techniques that are just inappropriate for the scale and urgency of change needed and they limp on frustrated that the widely-published improvement techniques just didn't work for them.
Whether there is a genuine crisis or simply an appetite to make large-scale change the challenges can still be huge:
¤ maintaining the momentum for change can be very difficult when all around you customers are demanding better
¤ the direct engagement of the workforce is essential to making things happen. When times are tough and results have been below expectations asking for even more can sound like a "broken record"
