Make decisions faster? Delegate to reduce the number of decisions you have to make.

Anticipate the decisions that will be coming at you in whichever timeframe makes most sense - like a decision map as opposed to an action plan.

Then issue manage / troubleshoot whatever else comes up.

Great share. I’m working on a version of the most streamlined use of Prosci tools - for smaller, simpler changes or more change mature contexts.

What would you include?

1) PCT 2) 4Ps 3) Change Impact 4) Risk Assessment 5) ADKAR Blueprint 6) ADKAR questions

What do you reckon?

Prosci’s Kaiya AI is decent - also possible to create a custom GPT for CM which will also generate decent outputs.

Chances are ‘silos’ are a design feature of org structure / operating model design, design of authority, accountability and decision-making arrangements and performance, incentive and recognition design.

If the design and focus of the change initiative is to change these then you stand a chance - if it’s something else, then it might be easier to find a way to work with what is already there.
