Ask any IT professional if they have a repeatable process for Change Management (CM) and you can expect an unequivocal “Yes we do!” Actually, they have no other choice when we consider the nature of Change in the scope of their IT world. Now consider this question: “Is IT the only organization in your enterprise involved in Change?”

We’ve been touting Training as a viable solution to virtually any performance problem for years. Our clients bought in. They’ve been buying in for as long as we’ve been selling it. We’ve done it well, and we’ve even started believing it ourselves to the extent that we wrap up a training event and move to the next.

We cannot perpetuation this routine; in fact, the onus is on L&D to lead change in the re-thinking and perceptions of our stakeholder population. Our strategy cannot fall prey to status quomentum and an aggressive change in our messaging and methods must become visible and overcome resistance the power of the myth.

We must change the conversation if new thinking will ever emerge. When it seems like we’re pushing a stone uphill over and over…maybe we should stop…leave the stone where it is… go up to the top (of the organization) and confirm if a stone like we’ve been pushing for years is even needed.

Are any actionable data points leveraged outside of HR to affect change? Then what happens to those exit interviews? Are the interviews HR checkbox events to be filed away in a personnel folder? Does this practice represent a pattern that we do not fully address? This leads me to some potentially radical thoughts….
