What Is Context-Sensitive Change Management?

One of the main reasons why aready for 50 years digital transformation and change management programs in large organizations fail is because management consultants and management professors at universities and business schools stick to the ‘holy cow’ of applying collaborative change management as the one-size-fits-all change strategy to changing a large bureaucratic organisation. Sometimes called ‘the fat firm’ or large dinosaurs’.

Context-sensitive change management refers to an approach that acknowledges the various external and internal factors influencing how organizations undergo and organize change. While traditional change management consultants still advocate the one-size-fits-all approach of collaborative change, context-sensitive change consultants recognize that different situations require different approaches to the change management process.

Here’s a breakdown:

  • Focus on Context: It emphasizes understanding the specific circumstances surrounding the change, such as developments in the external environment including as a conequence of the democratization of AI and internal factors factors like misalignment of the current organizational design including the current culture, the current structure and the current predominant leadership style.
  • Tailored Strategies: Based on this understanding, change management strategies are tailored to better address challenges and leverage opportunities.
  • Increased Success: By considering the context, this approach aims to improve the likelihood of successful change implementation by chosing and implementing thebest change strategy on time.
