In today's volatile world — accelerated by AI breakthroughs, hybrid workforces, and economic uncertainty — change is faster, more overlapping, and less predictable than ever. At eTACSEN, we've worked with leaders across Asia to navigate these realities. From these experiences, we've created the eTACSEN 7 Change Leadership Practices — a proprietary, practical framework designed for mid-to-senior Change Champions, whether driving top-down mandates or self-initiated transformations.
This isn't a reinvention. It's a thoughtful evolution grounded in proven models:
- John Kotter's classic 8 steps as the core structure for urgency and sustainability.
- Prosci's ADKAR for building individual desire and ability.
- Agile principles for iterative experimentation in ambiguity.
- Kurt Lewin's model for psychological transitions.
- McKinsey's 7S for organisational alignment.
Streamlined to 7 iterative actions, it emphasises adaptability — with a rapid Formative Loop for foundational clarity and focused Execution Cycle to embed lasting results.
The Formative Loop (Iterate rapidly to build a strong foundation):
- e - Energise Urgency: Ignite shared 'why now?' with evidence and context-specific stories.
- T - Team Up Coalition: Rally diverse, influential allies.
- A - Articulate Vision: Co-create a compelling future picture.
The Execution Cycle (C-S-E) (Repeat as needed to deliver momentum and results):
- C- Connect the Change: Engage stakeholders through tailored, two-way dialogue.
- S - Secure Quick Wins: Generate early, visible successes to build credibility and energy.
- E - Empower Actions: Foster safe experimentation and agility in unknowns.
Embedding and Sustaining Practice
- N - Normalize New Norms: Embed the change deeply into culture, systems, processes, and daily behaviors — ensuring it becomes “the way we do things here” and endures beyond the initiative.
This framework equips leaders to thrive amid disruption — turning volatility into resilience and opportunity.
