By understanding and managing the cumulative impact of changes, organisations can improve their change fitness and achieve better outcomes.

She highlights the importance of starting with what is available and building credibility and transparency to gain trust and facilitate smooth implementation. 

 

Bernice provides a perspective on helping organisations with different maturity levels in change management.
