Up-Close with Chin Teik: Change vs Transformation

March 01, 2021 • Chin Teik • Season 1 • Episode 4

Change vs Transformation

People use these two words interchangeably. In this episode I will unpack the two words so that you can choose what is the right word for the right situation. Remember, language shapes our future behaviour and actions.

Change is fixing the past while Transformation is a whole new state. There are different approaches in implementing change vs transformation. Please contact me if you are interested to know the different approaches.

While technology or uncontrollable circumstances may initiate disruption, it is the transformational leadership and organizational culture that drives the right execution. The Covid-19 pandemic is reinforcing how much in life we have no control on. This black swan has shown that the current way of doing business no longer works and thus we have to choose the right strategy to respond – “fixing the past” or “a whole new state”? What has worked in the past will not work any more. Don't let a good crisis go to waste!

Time for strategic thinking not just strategic planning. Time to #Re-Think business models, organizational structures, business processes and people capabilities and most of all leadership-management capabilities for the 21st Century which will continue to be a decade of disruption!
