About This Course

McKinsey Corporation estimates that 70% of organizational change programs fail. And that’s after they’ve hired groups like McKinsey, paid them a million dollars, invested 12 months, and stressed themselves out.

It’s the “master plan approach,” and it’s broken. There has to be another way.

In my PhD on systemic change, I discovered an alternative approach. It did not exist in any book, but I saw it being practiced by some of the world's best companies. Instead of a master plan, it followed the principles of systems thinking and strategic leverage points:

  • Don’t go big — go small
  • Don’t go high-risk — go low-risk
  • Don’t go expensive — go cheap

Welcome to Leverage: a low-cost, low-stress, low-risk approach to organizational change.
