Evolutionary Change

Change is organised through bounded interventions, observable effects and subsequent decisions.

Change is not understood as a fully plannable transition. It emerges from interventions whose effects are observed and processed through subsequent decisions.

Initial situation
Large change programmes compete with everyday work and lose their capacity to generate further engagement after the initial attention fades.
Expected benefit
The organisation connects intentions for change with small experiments, clear observations and regular follow-up decisions.
Limits
Evolution does not guarantee a predefined target state and cannot bypass fundamental conflicts of power or resources.

Approach

  1. Describe the TensionContrast desired and current conditions in concrete terms.
  2. Choose a Safe Next StepFormulate a bounded intervention and the observation expected from it.
  3. Decide What FollowsEvaluate the effects and decide whether to continue, adapt or stop.

Results

  • A prioritised portfolio of bounded change experiments.
  • Observation criteria and review points for each experiment.
  • Traceable decisions about subsequent steps.
