“I have been studying transformations for decades and never before have their success rates been so low as they are today. We have all advised leaders on the pitfalls of such large-scale change efforts with modest success by offering new processes and tools that encourage them, in my words, to "think big, start small, and move fast." What we have perhaps not looked at enough is the important human mindset that executives and managers approach such transformations with. I love the approach of equipping leaders with new aspirations in the service of improving their change initiative results. Furthermore, I think that Liberation, Vitality, and Expression are thought-provoking mindsets and could contribute meaningfully to the search for a better way to transform organizations. Bravo Alejandro for offering a step-by-step methodology that can improve the way all human capital experiences work in the future!” (Sandy Ogg, Founder, CEO.Works)
