Organizational Change Management and Individuals

June 30, 2009 · Posted in Change management · Comment 

Interesting article here in the Financial Times about how individuals work through changes in their lives. According to Prof. Herminia Ibarra, people who are seeking to reinvent themselves should not spend too much time in analysis:

“The key message is to ditch reflection and self-analysis in favour of action. Different facets of our personality mean we have a number of “possible selves”, but Prof Ibarra argues that successful change stems from testing these possibilities, in small steps, meeting new contacts who can guide a transition, and following opportunities as they appear.”

This advice is helpful for people who are facing change in their organization and are wondering how to cope with it.

This is a blog where I will be posting thoughts, pieces of information, and whatever else might be of interest for people interested in organizational change.

I will be paying particular attention to things that are relevant to the fact that I work and live in Berlin. This means that some of the articles and links that I post will be in German.

I’ll be posting two or three times a week. You can have an RSS feed to learn of new posts – see the link on the right of the page.
