Luc's Thoughts On Organizational Change - Latest Comments

Re: Learning Heaps from Hypes

I found great insights from your thought piece. Very prophetic and relevant even in 2023. Your prediction about Google+ turned out to be correct. That's not the only arena of measurement the Hype Cycle is limited to. My experience in consulting and advising several businesses, as well as observing the preferences for market positioning, and market competition strategies by many businesses, agencies, and startups reveals to me that a vast majority of business founders, owners, and even their hired leadership and experts either don't know about the Hype cycle or purposefully ignore it for various reasons, only to fall trap to the same fate that Google+ and many other businesses and products encountered late to the race.

Perhaps the increasing number of winners who won over the conservatives in the Hype Cycle was the reason that 'Industry Disruption' became a trending buzzword through the latter half of 201x.

Related to the Hype Cycle sparked a curiosity in me that I want your thoughts on. What's the reason a number of cookie-cutter businesses that have no chance of winning in the market, and only pick the scrapping bottom of the barrel clients - continue to waste their money starting those businesses in the market? Case in point - restaurants, software agencies, digital marketers, freelancers, startups, fintech apps, games, you name it.

Hi Jack. I followed your link but got an error message, then I searched your site and didn't find anything. Any chance could update the link? Sounds like an interesting timeline!

How do you determine if a change project has failed? What is measured?

Hi Luc,
What a great article and dito visuals. A must read I believe.
Since there's so much fuzz and bias around the terms "resistance" and "burn out" I would suggest to rename the quadrant into:
1: Committed Self (for commitment)
2: True Self (for resistance)
3: Faked Self (for Stockholm Syndrome) (or Innocent Self)
4: Trapped Self (for Burn Out)
Looking forward your feedback and even more your next article on Social Architecture.

Re: Waking up to the next level

Luc Galoppin — Sun, 11 Jan 2015 05:45:22 -0000

Thanks Jen - and there is more to come. Now that I have mapped out my path to mastery I am determined to examine every hurdle closely instead of running away from it.
So it is getting close and personal (first hurdle already confronted) and to the same extent I see the 'unsubscribe's filling my mailbox. And that is fine as well, because my main reason for blogging is to have a tipping point to ship for myself. My journey - not theirs.

Goosebumps Luc -- I actually found myself skimming this. Like the questions were too difficult to read properly and think about. Shall be re-reading. Very jealous of your opportunity to do RYG!

Re: Book Review: WWGD – What Would Google Do?

Zohaib Akhlaq — Wed, 26 Nov 2014 11:29:10 -0000

What Would Google Do? is not a book about Google. At least not directly. This is a manifesto for the social web. A book arguing for transparency, openness, and collaboration. A book imploring that we think differently: beseeching businesses to hand over control to their clients; to share and innovate; to develop platforms and networks of trust; to encourage discovery and diversity over secrecy and authority; to adopt a mindset of abundance over the scarcity models of the past. Google is positioned as the poster child of this new paradigm, the exemplar of the modern company. And the question, What Would Google Do?, is our call to action. A call challenging our assumptions of what is required to succeed in a world that is increasingly public and interconnected.

Re: If not fighting silos, then what?

Niels Pflaeging — Mon, 28 Jul 2014 21:52:40 -0000

Interesting topic and newsletter.
By the way: I think fighting silos is not a viable approach. Because silos are a symptom, not the problem. They are a symptom of functional division, which also causes other symptoms, such as middle managers, bureaucratization, lack of responsiveness, etc. etc.
So though silos (no apostroph!) are horrible, you cannot fight them. One must fight functional division, or centralization, or however one mgiht frame the underlying problem. Silos, most certainly, are not the problem itself.
That is the same as saying: "We have to fight Product Management and Key Account management“ (both: also just symptoms).

Re: 3 Take-aways from the ACMP 2014 Conference

Heather Lehmann — Wed, 30 Apr 2014 21:18:12 -0000

Hi Luc
– Thanks for pointing me towards your video blog. I loved it! I found Gerard van Grinsven’s talk
really inspiring too. Very interesting how those listening skills that he honed as a bartender have been so important throughout his career. I also really
enjoyed your panel, and gave it a mention in my recap blog here: http://bit.ly/1rn3ae1. And you've inspired me to try video blogging too! Still feeling inspired by that post-conference workshop with Daryl Conner & Mel Toomey - and still practicing awareness around my presence and impact. Take care - Heather

Luc - looking forward to your next blog post! Thought you'd like to see this pic from the conference, of you creating another drawing...

Re: 3 Take-aways from the ACMP 2014 Conference

Luc Galoppin — Wed, 16 Apr 2014 11:32:16 -0000

Hey Beth - thanks. By the way - this is also something we focussed on during the post-conference workshop of 'Raising Your Game' with Daryl Conner and Mel Toomey. I kind of see it as a ladder:

How we are grounded >> (determines) >> How we show up >> (determines) >> What we enable for individuals and communities >> (determines) >> Client effectiveness

Or lemme make a drawing of that for one of my next blogposts...

Re: 3 Take-aways from the ACMP 2014 Conference

Beth Lowe — Wed, 16 Apr 2014 11:00:32 -0000

Number two of your list of three main points (the importance of being centered) was one of the very best things I heard at the conference. Thanks for reiterating it here!
