The Challenge of Change.

    • Change is Challenging.

    • Regardless of whether it’s Change we want, Change we don’t want, or Change we’re not quite sure about…it’s always disruptive, and has far and wide reaching impacts.

    • As if that weren’t enough…we live in a time where the scope, speed, and severity of Change is greater than at any other time in history.

    • There are multiple massive growing complex interrelated global risks/issues, including Sustainability, Climate Change, Pollution, Biodiversity, Pandemics, and more.

    • Technology is continuing to Change at an accelerating rate. AI will impact almost every person, product, process, and service in the coming years…in ways we can’t even imagine.

The Failure of Change.

    • Across industries, organizations, regions, there is limited success in identifying, driving, and accomplishing desired Change.

    • This can occur for one or more reasons. The following is a short list of some of the possible factors:

      • Project formed without due diligence

        • Ties to overall strategy

        • Socio-economic business case

        • Unclear definition of scope (e.g. the ‘what’)

        • Lack of buy-in

      • Not understanding the ‘what’ and ‘why’ before moving on to the ‘how’

      • Inability to define project with discrete start and end

      • Unclear and/or inconsistent Methodology

      • Lack of clarity/understanding on desired end results

      • Underestimating, and lack of planning for, the impacts of change on various stakeholders

      • Disconnection from other disciplines

      • Mis-interpreting activity for results

    • The bottom line is that a considerable amount of time, money, and effort are spent on activities without a significant return. And we can…and must…do so much better. The benefits are substantial...to organizations, groups, and individuals.

The Success of Change.

    • It is critical to understand Change, and be able to prevent, mitigate, adjust, and/or adapt as need be. And that starts with building a solid Foundation for Transformation.

    • Welcome to ‘ACE, the Foundation of Transformation’.

    • ‘ACE, the Foundation of Transformation’ focuses on building a rich and fertile environment for Projects to thrive. Just as plants require quality soil, so do people require quality Project environments.

    • It goes BEYOND traditional Project Management, to build a better understanding of the what, the why, and the how.

    • It draws on the wisdom of the past, current and historical lessons learned, and on various scientific/humanistic disciplines.
