How To Build Teams That Support Organizational Transformation

In this article, we aim to blend change management consulting practices with not only practicing leaders but also scholars from leading universities such as but not limited to Harvard Business School, UC Berkeley, USF Muma, Ivey Business School, and Cornell SC Johnson College of Business. The C-Suite will find our idea novel in approach and scholars will delve into our idea of high-performance transformation so that they can expand on it, criticize it, extrapolate it, and, in some cases, replicate it. Our main reasoning in this article is based on the true transformation which has to be team-oriented. Teams that support organizational transformation can play a critical role in business success for organizations. First, a team-powered transformation should effectively involve all members of the organization and foster teamwork, and a sense of camaraderie. Second, the development of these teams requires the courage of top managers. Then, organizations can benefit from their teamwork to achieve prosperity and effectiveness. In this novel idea article, we particularly aim to expand Kotter's change model to address scholars and practitioners worldwide to initiate a new conversation on organizational transformation. Much of what we share in this article has been adapted from our book titled Management Consulting's Black Box which summarizes our 25 years of management consulting work experience and will be published in the Business Expert Press soon.
