Our recent conversations with business leaders clearly show that the disruption of COVID-19 and changing market conditions have left them thinking about costs in a different light. The "new normal" has forced them to shift from simple cost reduction to cost transformation.

I've argued that leaders need to become more proactive problem finders if they wish to avert surprising failures in their organization. They need to seek out and uncover hidden risks. Unfortunately, as humans, we struggle with regard to how we cope with risk. Three patterns of behavior prove particularly problematic when it comes to risk. 1. We actively downplay and discount ambiguous risks.

If there is one thing that we can count on, it is that things will change. Especially in the last two years, how and where we work has changed, and the workforce itself is decidedly different. Organizations are facing new changes every day, and it is essential for leaders to exploit the advantages that these changes can give. But how can leaders make change appealing to their team members , especially after constant change has been thrust upon us over the past two years?

If you were a person of sophistication and education in the 19th century, your world view was based on certain axiomatic truths, such as parallel lines never cross, logical propositions are either true or false and "bad airs" made people sick.

The concept of value networks explains why districts often struggle to make major changes to their organizational models and why charter schools often find it easier to innovate. There are lots of promising innovations in tiny pockets of the education system, but decades of advocacy and investment have failed to see those innovations scale.

When leaders consider implementing a structured business process improvement methodology , one of the challenges they often face is explaining to employees what types of opportunities to consider. Usually, there are some apparent needs that people attack immediately. Still, once those are addressed, it can be challenging to recognize the flaws in processes, especially ones you operate every day.
