Experiments
What will we do? What's our hypothesis? How will we see progress? How will we know we've got our intended outcome?
Experiments vs traditional thinking
Two different assumptions about how change should work.
Lean Change
The more uncertainty we face, the more we need to plan less and experiment more.
Traditional Change Management
Planning drives out uncertainty. Experimentation is an excuse for bad planning.
Once you’ve chosen your Options, they become Experiments. People often ask if you need to call every action you do as a change agent an Option or Experiment.
It’s up to you, I tend to use my best judgement. If I feel there’s too much overhead in writing down and tracking every activity, I won’t do it. I will also refer to some Experiments as a hack if I need to take action in order to figure out what my Options are in the first place.
