New models of organizational change are needed to foster the learning and agility needed today. The most effective change processes have high degrees of multilevel, multiple stakeholder involvement from the very beginning and rethink old systems, replacing them with more human-first, open and adaptive, networked systems. The authors of (Re)defining Cultural Change in Organizations, Jennifer Simpson, PhD and Stan Deetz, PhD, share principles that are apt to become best practices for leaders to craft the next era of effective organizational change needed to meet the demands of an ever-changing environment.
