What can music tell us about handling and managing change? We look at the 3 great changes in pop music according to science, and how you can apply those learnings to your organization.
Without change, we would not have had the Beatles, or the Rolling Stones. Without change we would listen to the same sounds over and over. Organizations need to have a future centric approach that includes change as part of their daily agenda.

If you are doing things right, organizational change is inevitable. But why is it so hard for organizations to implement changes aimed at increasing productivity and profitability and how can we hack the change?
When organizations realise they need to change, very often they focus on tactical aspects, trying to make sense of things.
They embark on digitization of processes trying to look more modern, or they buy the new tool that promises to solve every issue, and later they find that no one adopts these changes and that the investment made was nowhere near the results that were expected.
We explore how your organization can avoid these common pitfalls using three key steps: creating a shared vision, sponsorship, and focusing on the “soft” aspects of change.

The evolution of organizations will require a move to a true purpose-at-the-center model in order to be a step ahead of people and business needs. It will mean collaborating in solving the societal challenges of today and tomorrow. We should understand change not as an action “from-to” but as a mindset, a new state of being, creating innovative business and collaboration together.
With a future centric approach, we identify 4 pillars that will make organizations change drastically in the future. These pillars are identifying the future of work, creating personalized employee experiences, the growing importance of mindfulness and well-being, and creating conscious companies.
