Catalyzing Change
Mobilizing people and systems to adopt new ways of working and sustain them over time. The field integrates social psychology, organizational design, leadership behaviors, and execution craft to convert strategic intent into everyday routines across teams and functions.
Characteristic patterns include diagnosing readiness and resistance, aligning incentives and sponsorship, equipping leaders as coaches, and sequencing interventions that compound—pilot, prove, propagate. Practice draws on stakeholder mapping, sponsorship behaviors, communication arcs, capability building, behavior design, measurement of leading and lagging indicators, and reusable patterns that scale across contexts without losing local fit.
When applied well, change efforts gain momentum instead of friction: adoption and impact are measured, resistance is addressed constructively, and new practices are embedded in governance, incentives, and culture so the transformation endures beyond launch moments.
