Navigating the people aspect of
change journeys
Change is often a response to internal and external factors. The external drivers include political developments, social issues, technological advancements, and shifts in the economy. Developments within the organisation can include changes in the company’s management policies or approach, internal systems, procedures, or even employee behaviors and attitudes.
Transformation efforts face three major obstacles, as identified by a PWC study on Strategy and Culture’s Role in Enabling Organizational Change:
A people centric approach to change management is one that places value on both people and results. It balances between:
Challenging Directly - Demanding excellence and high performance
Caring Deeply - Concern for the welfare of people, personal and family situations, mental and emotional health

Eddie and Wei have been excellent facilitators - demonstrating how to engage in effective communication added with a personal touch. The session was indeed most helpful in inspiring and equipping me to be an empathetic change agent! Thank you for helping us to learn through relatable everyday examples.

The training also helped me understand my team members more at a personal level and that in itself is priceless. And now seeing that they themselves have become united or cohesive & cooperative with each other. The strong team allows the leader to weather the tough situations.
Now, morale has improved. The team building has helped. Team members felt close with each other. There were reduced conflicts between people. The results speak for themselves. Other people could see the transformation in my team.
