Developing Organization Change Skill

When I was trying to describe what it takes to do a good rollout of something new across a larger software development organization, I came up with a chant that made a lot of sense:

Here's the old

Here's the new

Here's the difference

Here's what you can do

Yesterday, I was faced with frustration that came from feeling incapable of doing the rollout tasks that were my lot. And I wanted other people to be capable of rolling new stuff across the development organization, too.

I asked myself:

How am I going to get other people to be capable of rolling new stuff out?

That is when the idea came.

So I think that a successful rollout formula is:

1. presenting all 4 things in sequence, and
2. making it easy for people who are affected by the rollout to take the next step
