Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Transformations don’t fail because the framework is wrong, they fail because the people system isn’t ready. In this episode, we unpack the patterns that derail Agile, AI, and “pick-your-flavor” change efforts: unclear purpose, missing champions, fuzzy roles, cultural resistance, and plans so complicated everyone checks out. We’ll also share what actually works: start with a clear why, build visible sponsorship, keep it simple, and use transparency + inspection + adaptation to earn credibility through small wins.
