Stop change failure.
Whether you’re in business or education, if you’re contemplating a major change to some aspect of your organization’s work, you need to know this:
Upwards of 70% of all change initiatives fail* to deliver their intended outcomes.
But here’s the thing: you don’t have to be part of that statistic.
We know why change initiatives fail. We wrote Shifting: How School Leaders Can Create a Culture of Change to help you avoid the typical potholes.
It Shifts the focus in the change process from procedures to the people leading and implementing change.
It Shifts the change environment from one of “command and control” to one of shared responsibility for planning and execution.
It Shifts the change mentality away from implementing a series of disconnected initiatives to one where any contemplated change is looked at through the lens of the organizational “why” – what the organization is trying to do on behalf of those it serves.

And get change right.
