Key People Blocking Cultural Change Inside Large Bureaucratic Organizations

Since I started to work with and for people in large bureaucratic organizations since 1983 at the University, it is always the same key people, the same ‘blockers’ inside large dinosaur organizations across sectors and industries blocking organizational change.

These are the key people, the internal blockers that might be blocking cultural change conciously or unconcisously and are thus co-responsible for creating and maintaining a toxic culture and a toxic work environment inside a large bureaucratic organization:

Executive Level

  • Senior Managers: often possess the power to drive change but can also be a source of resistance due to their managementstyle and/or toxic leadership style.
  • Members Of Board of Directors: Conservative members recruited from the corporate world or from other large burecaucratic organizations may be risk averse and prioritize financial stability over innovation and change.

Middle Management

  • Department Heads: Can be resistant due to fear of losing their influence, their control, their ‘resources’, or status.
  • Project Managers: May become overly focused on process and compliance, hindering fundamental change.

Operational Level

  • Employees: Fear of job loss, skill obsolescence, or increased workload can lead to resistance including in marketing, finance and even ICT.
  • Union Representatives: May oppose changes including the implementation of AI that impact job security or working conditions since ‘the Great AI-Layoff started:

  • Corporate ICT-Strategists: They often focus on ICT-driven digital transformation and change with an emphasis on digitization or automation of existing processes by standardization and designing and building the ‘required’ corporate IT architecture & infrastructure first. The result? A very expensive digital bureaucratic existing organization: a bureauspace.
  • Corporate HR-Professionals: While HR-professionals can be change agents, they can be or can become overly bureaucratic, focusing on processes rather than people.
  • Corporate Finance Professionals: May prioritize short-term financial performance over long-term investments in real customer-centric and people-centric change.
  • Corporate IT-Profesionals: Can be resistant to change following and believing people that have false authority, for fear of disruption to existing systems or lack of ‘resources’: people with the relevant skills including in AI.

In all cases the behaviour and influence of false experts and tricksters from the top to the bottom including on LinkedIn is one of the main underlying root causes for the failure of designing and building a people centric AI-powered company.
