214 - Changing Change: How to Create Community and Culture Amidst Chaos with Rhys Cranney

An organisational change process is a big deal. The whole operating system of a business can change, the context switches, the foundations can falter.But systems are systems — they are malleable and hard-wearing. People, on the other hand, are sensitive and emotional and often hugely resistant to change. And it is people who have to live, work, and operate within these new systems.Rhys Cranney wants the whole concept of change management to move away from a focus on systems to a focus on people and the emotional impact it brings. After hearing him speak so passionately in this episode, I think he will have many people supporting this belief!Find out about:Why the human desire for control makes the change process so complicatedWhy inclusion makes change so much more palatableHow the process changes when we acknowledge the emotional cost it entailsHow facilitation affects physical, emotional, and mental wellbeingWhy a bottom-up, individuals-first, approach can be helpful when planning changeWhat’s different when everybody understands both the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ behind a changeDon’t miss the next episode: subscribe to the show with your favourite podcast player.And download the free 1-page summary, so you can always have the key points of this episode to hand.LinksWatch the video recording of this episode on YouTube.Connect to Rhys:On LinkedInSupport the Show.**Click here to navigate through all episodes via this interactive podcast map.**If you're inspired by our podcast and crave similar conversations, consider joining Dr Myriam Hadnes' NeverDoneBefore Facilitation Community. **If you're keen to master the art of facilitation, discover our expert-led live, online Facilitation Courses at the NDB Academy. **If you enjoy the show, consider a one-off donation and contribute to the ongoing costs of running the podcast.
