Starting to apply the four aspects of Individuals, Change, Strategy, and Leadership in an organization is an exciting journey that requires care, collaboration, and commitment. Here are some ideas that have helped organizations get started:
With this baseline established, identify 1-2 priorities for improving the relationships between aspects to increase organizational responsiveness and empower individuals. Maybe current strategies aren't resonating with employees' values or leaders lack visibility into changing consumer dynamics.
Perhaps innovation processes feel too top-down or rigid. Focus on increments that address the most critical constraints or disconnects revealed during the mapping.
Remember that this is a journey, not a single initiative. Changing mindsets and skills takes time. As a guiding coalition, model the behaviors and thinking you want to see spread. Nurture curiosity, candor, trust, and compassion. Help people recognize how their roles contribute to aspect integration and shared progress. Celebrate small steps and insights that indicate the four aspects are taking root.
Keep mapping to the aspects regularly to guide strategy and measure progress. Each cycle will reveal new possibilities for alignment and empowerment. Over time, optimizing the relationships between Individuals, Change, Strategy and Leadership will become second nature, allowing your organization to respond to opportunities and challenges with enterprise agility, resilience and shared purpose.
