I had a conversation with a colleague the other day about change design vs delivery phases. Leaving aside the (hopefully) iterative nature of these things in practise the interesting point was around the various change ‘actors’ (in a togaf sense) in an organisation would have very different views of what the scope of the responsibility is and what other functions responsibilities are. This sort of continuum came to mind (its not an original continuum, i’m just re-jigging it). I imagined different actors placing themselves and other functions at different points across this continuum, almost like an enterprise ‘pin the tail on the donkey’.
If there isn’t clarity on the interplay and collaboration between change agents within an organisation then there will be a) more Politics, more innefficiency, more latency. Maybe using this sort of technique is a way of ‘simply’ getting to some form of consensus or, highlight the lack of consensus.
