Show Notes
Some best practices for systemic changes:
- Make the value apparent to everyone, in a way that matters to those doing it. “This is good for us” becomes a culture change.
- Look for collaboration opportunities and be the “invisible hand”. Help move others into understanding the change and out of the mysterious black-box phase.
- Be prepared to be patient, persistent, and repetitive. It takes time.
Our listener was prompted to ask his question after listening to SOR episode 77: SOR 077 Transition of Reliability Culture
