Do we really know how our organizations adopt new methods, new technologies and new thinking?
I have been working on the dynamics of organizational adoption for several years and I have devised an insightful perspective of the challenge. Some of these insights will be presented at an event in London. (details)
Every organization is a complex adaptive system that participates in a dynamic environment, shared with other developing systems, and must routinely evolve to remain relevant in an ever-changing, interconnected and interdependent context.
But is the process of organizational adoption properly understood and managed?
By virtue of designation, an organization depends upon organized process – be it rudimentary or sophisticated – and with maturity these processes become entrenched against change. Nevertheless, change happens.
The provision of resources, support and evangelism are important change factors but rarely sufficient to penetrate the undeclared [but very real] organizational immune system.
Effective change needs more than just joined-up management and commitment: the foundation of success lies in a proper understanding of the dynamics of organizational adoption, particularly the unwritten forces that drive, or more often impede, the process of organizational change.
