Leading Change in this age of Digital, Tech & AI

Leading Change in this age of Digital, Tech & AI

Change has always been part of business, but the pace we’re facing now — driven in part by digital, tech and AI — may seem relentless to many. What used to evolve over years now shifts in months, sometimes weeks. Or when Trump stumps his feet, it can impact you in minutes! Leaders don’t get the luxury of waiting for the perfect moment or fully developed plan to change. You have to identify change, lead change as it unfolds, in the moment.

Its often the case that the digital or technology change itself is rarely the main problem. The hardest hurdles are regularly the human ones, like emotion.

The Human side of digital change must receive your attention, these include....

• Fear of being replaced or left behind

• Resistance to breaking long standing habits

• Fear of loosing control or comfort

• Lack of understanding and commitment

• Leaders who try to push change instead of engaging people in it

• Teams drowning in information but starved of clarity.

These are the issues that so often cause digital transformations to stall, run over time or fail to add the value they could or should. It’s not the AI, the automation or the data platforms that get in the way, it’s how people react to them that causes the (reducible) loss and waste.

The Leadership opportunity

The good news is that leaders who focus on people, not just platforms, create the advantage, which is often the difference between winning and losing. If you can bring people with you, create an environment where they can be at their best, reduce fear and give them purpose in the change, you don’t just install new technology, you build a culture that adapts quickly and thrives on innovation. This is how companies outperform competitors and the market.

This is the leadership edge will greatly help guiding people through uncertainty and ambiguity, sharing them the vision and removing the barriers that make change painful.

How I can help

This is exactly where my In the Moment Coaching, Advisory & Consulting Service comes in.

Change doesn’t wait until your next strategy session, board meeting or away day.

Maybe you feel you are about to face resistance in a town hall, or your project team just hit a wall or you’re personally stuck on how to communicate the next stage. These are the moments that matter most and the moments when having in the moment access to an experienced advisor, consultant or coach can help you make the difference between momentum and meltdown.

I’ve helped leaders unlock millions £$£ in savings, create extraordinary improvements in engagement and performance, and lead transformations that were stuck, because they understood and paid attention to the human dynamics, not just the technical processes.

Your country, community, business, teams and people must have leaders who lead change. Not someday, not once the plan’s finished or when they've got time.... right now. And in this digital first, tech and AI-driven world, the leaders who better master the people elements of change, as well as platforms, will win more often and more easily.

If you’re leading a team or project today and need support right now, let’s talk, and help you lead change and build an even better business.
