Season 1 · Episode 29

Tuesday, February 13, 2024 • Duration 20:09

In this episode, Orod and Soma deep dive into the second principle of Change management, which says, "Gain agreement to pursue improvement through evolutionary change," emphasizes the importance of obtaining consensus among the team members and stakeholders regarding the need for continuous improvement through incremental changes rather than radical transformations.

In essence, this principle suggests that teams should foster a culture where everyone agrees on the value of making small, continuous improvements over time instead of imposing sweeping changes or initiatives. This approach is aligned with the core philosophy of Kanban, which advocates for evolutionary change based on feedback and empirical evidence.

By gaining agreement from all involved parties, teams can ensure that everyone is on board with the proposed improvements and understands their significance. This alignment fosters collaboration, encourages engagement, and minimizes resistance to change, ultimately leading to more successful and sustainable organisational improvements.
