Do you want your team to be more flexible, adaptable, and innovative? You’re not alone! But that doesn’t happen by itself. It IS your responsibility, but it doesn’t happen by launching a big change initiative and hoping for the best. Instead, sustainable change grows when people try small ideas, share their successes, and inspire others to do the same.
In this online presentation, I show you some simple, practical things you can do right now to create a culture of change in your team and organisation. Whether you’re leading a major transformation (hint: AI!) or just want your team to be more proactive and innovative, you’ll learn some practical ways to help change spread from the inside out.
Key Topics
- Only one in six employers invests in building adaptability, even though they all expect more change ahead.

- Most teams sit in the middle of the six levels of change culture – mainly compliant or proactive.
- To move a compliant team towards proactive, make everyday change normal.
- If you are the HiPPO (with the Highest Paid Person’s Opinion), what you say shapes what everybody else says.
- Proactive people without authority turn you into the bottleneck.
- To empower a proactive team, build good judgement.
- If empowered people don’t have work with meaning, they’re a flight risk.
- To help reluctant people comply, start with psychological safety.
