Anil Seth – Your brain hallucinates your conscious reality

Many leaders assume change fatigue means “we’re doing too much”. In reality, people don’t get tired of change — they get tired of chaos, friction and wasted effort.

When done in the right way, change can deliver rapid value for the organisation whilst also contributing positively to the wellbeing of the people involved. Organisational change readiness helps us to understand how those involved in or affected by a change are feeling about it. From those insights we can then take steps to make the change easier for everyone.

– Constantly adding more budget and it’s starting to feel like a money pit?
– Feeling that the changes seem to take much longer than hoped?
– Not getting tangible results quickly enough?
– Finding that no matter how hard you push, you’re still not getting there?

With the end of the year in sight, many organisations are resolving to make big changes in the coming year, especially given the uncertainty around topics such as the energy crisis and uncertainty in the global markets. At the same time staff retention is becoming a hot topic for many. So how change is delivered is becoming ever more critical.

Rory Sutherland discusses how our perception of things shapes our reality. This is an area of increasing focus for behavioural economics and in business. Understanding how we really behave and how irrational we are means that seemingly small and inexpensive changes can have a disproportionate effect on our behaviour and therefore the outcomes that result from it.
