What if resistance to change isn't your biggest headache, but your most valuable asset? We're flipping the script on traditional change management by exploring how pushback, skepticism, and hesitation can actually strengthen your organisational transformations.
The numbers are sobering: 70% of improvement projects fail to meet their goals. But what separates the successful 30%? It might be their approach to resistance itself. Rather than seeing it as negativity to overcome, forward-thinking leaders recognise resistance as engagement—a signal that people care enough to voice concerns about potential issues that could derail your initiative.
Arkaro's distinctive "Do it with you" methodology provides a practical framework for this mindset shift through four key phases. The Understanding phase creates safe spaces for active listening, uncovering the root causes behind surface complaints using techniques like the "five whys." The Co-create phase brings skeptics directly into solution development, leveraging influential peer "change champions" to build ownership. The Enable phase provides targeted support through frameworks like ADKAR, addressing specific skill gaps and testing solutions via pilot programs. Finally, the Sustain phase embeds changes through collaborative metrics and ongoing feedback loops.
This approach works especially well for complex B2B transformations like strategy shifts, operating model changes, and commercial excellence programs. By reframing resistance from roadblock to roadmap enhancement, you gain invaluable insights that strengthen your initiatives and dramatically increase your odds of lasting success.
