The dimensions of change
To achieve these results we need to work across
several dimensions at the same time
Political
• Is there a risk for
my position ?
• Who’s my boss?
• Who’s in my
team?
• How big’s my
budget?
Rational
• What’s the size of
the prize?
• What are the
required
capabilities?
• Is the new model
really better?
Emotional
• Is the effort
worth it ?
• Will I have a job?
• Am I going to be
successful?
• How does this
shift power?
Most consultants focus strongly just on the rational axis.

DIAGNOSE GUIDING POLICY ACTION
• Have you taken advantage of
proprietary insight ?
• Is the diagnosis informed by the
past but future focused?
• Does it consider multiple
scenarios to evaluate
alternatives?
• Has it reviewed all relevant
external factors?
• Is all analysis (especially
internal) is free from bias?
• Has the business’ competitive
advantage been identified?
• Is the domain of action clearly
defined?
• Is it clear where you will play
and where you won’t play?
• Does your chosen course tap
your source of advantage?
• Will it put you ahead of the
norm?
• Will it enable you to beat your
competitors?
• Is management aligned?
• Is there conviction to act?
• Do the actions drive a single
target growth plan?
• Do they cover an appropriate
time frame?
• Do actions ensure you are
building the required
capabilities?
• Have you established how
progress is measured (key
criteria) and who is accountable?
• Are there key review dates in
place?
• Does your action plan balance
commitment and flexibility?
• Do people know what they’ll be
doing on Monday?
