I was pleased to be asked to be part of Dawna Jones' video podcast about Lean Transformation. Dawna is part of the global Stoos movement, author, blogger and is a strong proponent of moving organizations towards stewardship. I recently sat down (virtually!) with Dawna to talk about Lean Change and how to help organizations change without scaring the crap out of them!

Prosci’s “Lean Change + ADKAR” article ranks well but conflates process Lean with Lean Change. This post sets the record straight: Lean Change is a feedback-driven, co-created way to evolve systems through small, testable experiments—not a linear adoption model. We show where their mapping misleads, when ADKAR can be a useful diagnostic (not the backbone), and how to run real experiments that beat change theatre.
