The One-Step Change Method

I've been thinking about Change Management quite a bit lately, and I've decided that behind all the methodologies and acronyms, behind the research and tools, there is one thing that drives successful change.

Commitment.

Organisational commitment and personal commitment.

Commitment of time and commitment of resources.

Commitment when the change is hard.

Commitment when everyone else has given up.

Commitment when the newest buzzword, or trend, or shiny object tempts you.

Commitment to sustained change over easy fixes.

Behind Kotter's Eight Steps, ADKAR, the Elephant and Rider, and the mice chasing their cheese is someone who is committed to the change.
