Abstract

While the previous enabler paid attention to formulating the change plans when embarking on the change, this chapter Eighth Enabler focuses on the actual execution of these change plans and in particular, centring on entrenching the new way of doing in the culture of the organisation. We emphasise the cascading of the change strategy lower down in the organisation, requiring diverse, cross-functional teams to indeed execute relevant actions. This chapter highlights the forming of a habit as well as how to change habits on the individual level. Change leaders must take notice of this chapter, because they must be role models to others due to their own ability to change habits. The insight into how difficult it is and how much dedication and attention are required to change habits also assists change leaders in having empathy with others who are struggling to truly change behaviour.
