Organizational Change is our love. Because we know that Organizational Change can be highly effective. It is done successfully by understanding the common forces that initiate change processes. The secret sauce of successful organization-wide transformation is understanding the common power dynamics in systems and using them to your advantage. Most importantly, change should always be carried out with dignity. Be it digitalization, realignment or strategy adjustment, we’ll be there for you.
Motivation and inspiration energize people, not by pushing them in the right direction, but by satisfying basic human needs.

The unpleasant truth
According to a Boston Consulting Group study, the change management industry is growing at 5% annually, with global spending of $10 billion per year on change management consultants (Intelligence, 2016). Despite these numbers, only 50% of change programs achieve their goals, and with more complex change efforts the success rate drops to 25%. MagnoliaTree can claim to be different. With our Change Leadership approach we have a success rate of over 90%. Ask us how.

Change Management vs. Change Leadership
Although both terms are often used as synonyms, the difference is surprisingly significant.
Change Management, the term most people use, refers to a set of basic tools or structures used to keep the change effort under control. The goal is often to minimize the distractions and adverse effects of change.
Change leadership, on the other hand, concerns the driving forces, visions and processes that drive a large-scale transformation.

33 inhibiting forces
Read our blog post about 33 hypotheses why people resist organizational change. As change leaders, we all have to know, assess, keep an eye on, and counteract all 33 of them. Most importantly, every system urges to return to its original or base state, no matter how significantly it has been transformed. It needs strong counterbalances to overcome this force (homeostasis).
