Lesson: The long time for change in a global organization
- IT TOPICS:Careers, Management
Bette Walker, CIO Delphi Corp. shared her Lesson in Leadership with Computerworld.
The lesson: It takes a long time to get a change agenda understood in a global organization. Say you want to change a project management standard and apply it consistently across the globe. It takes an average of nine months of consistent communication before the organization starts to understand and embrace it.
Many times, when I’ve started on a change agenda, I’m up to agenda item No. 4 and the organization is really just starting to internalize item No. 1.
