Leading Change. Execution Can't Fix What Was Never Designed | Ep 33
Why do some change initiatives struggle despite strong execution? Sometimes, the problem starts long before implementation.
In this episode of Change Leadership Conversations, Yvonne Ruke Akpoveta speaks with Patrice Njoh, Partner in Deloitte Canada's Human Capital and Technology & Transformation Consulting practice, about why leading change requires more than delivering a project. It requires bringing people into the conversation early, designing change with them in mind, and building organizations that can continuously adapt.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why execution cannot compensate for change that was poorly designed from the start.
- How leaders can recognize that what looks like resistance may reveal something important that has been overlooked.
- Why building the capability to adapt continuously matters more than being exceptionally good at delivering a single transformation.
