Lean Change Element

Openness

People high in openness tend to be unconventional, creative and abstract thinkers. People low in openness tend to be more traditional, conservative and practical.

Openness

Openness vs traditional thinking

Two different assumptions about how change should work.

Lean Change

The more uncertain the change is, the more we need to be open to creative ideas.

Traditional Change Management

Change follows steps. As long as we follow tried-and-true steps, the change will work.

Everyone believes they're open to new ideas or thinking outside the box. People high in openness can connect the dots to seemingly unrelated ideas to create solutions to problems. They're also aware that the death of a problem is likely the birth of another one.
