A Catalyst for Culture, Change & Transformation

The Catalyst Challenge

The ability to anticipate, identify and accept the need for transformation, change and improvement within an organization or team, is often not considered, obvious, attractive and/or openly discussed and accepted. There may be a false sense of security in the ability of key stakeholders as to the level of capability and agility that may or may not exist.

The consequences of not addressing the Catalyst Challenge

People are too busy, overconfident with current plans and performance, and perhaps comfortable with the status-quo and as a result have not recognized key factors relating to the business have changed, and/or Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and/or Ambiguity exists, in some or many aspects of the internal or external environment which could have a significant or even profound impact on the organization, customers, stakeholders and/or team, its performance, satisfaction, or even existence.

Creating a Catalyst for Change

The UDT Model and Body of Knowledge (BoK) provides the roadmap, techniques and information for someone to "call to attention" that, there is a potential Catalyst for Change Challenge that needs to be seriously and properly considered, by a critical network (CN) of key stakeholders in the business, and to initiate an open discussion and subsequent dialog which confirms any need for Change, the Scale of that Change and the consequences of not addressing that need. Leading to a commitment by a critical network (CN) of key influencers to make the appropriate and defined Change, Transformation & Improvement.
