A CEO in a global corporation I recently worked with, had a mantra saying “Go See!”
- And it’s possibly one of the best change management advices I’ve ever received.
Although it may not have been fully thought through in terms of traveling budgets etc. it amazes me how efficient a shortcut it can be in the stakeholder management processes – where we, instead of just guessing and assessing, actually “go see” and “go ask” to evaluate their level of awareness, support and receive the valuable feedback we need to build a strong case and change implementation design.
Don’t guess and manage change from behind your desk: Go see!
