  • 68. Best Of Ask Dr. Change - Beyond Change Management: Requirements to Lead Transformational Change
    Jul 2 2026

    Most organizational change efforts rely on the tried-and-true approaches of Project Management and Change Management. However, when a project is transformational, it requires an expanded approach, beyond these two. Transformational change has a unique set of requirements that need attention before, and after, these standard approaches come in to play.

    This episode outlines the distinctions of transformational change and how you can lead and consult to it so it is launched, designed, implemented, and adopted for sustained results. This requires Conscious Change Leadership. Building off the value of traditional approaches, Conscious Change Leadership executes the start-to-completion strategies for transformational success. How can you expand your role to take on Conscious Change Leadership?
