Sustainable change depends on effective provocation, as an instigator for essential destabilisation.
Sometimes a gentle provocation is sufficient to create the right environment for change.
But very often the subject organizations or people are simply too entrenched in their ways to be change-ready. That’s when the provocation needs to be harsher.
Finding the right balance between the provocation level and degree of urgency is a skilful art – that can only be learned by experience and understanding. And, by regular provocation.
Think carefully before responding to a provocation with anger – Provocateurs are valuable and can give you insights that others fear to express.
