The inner side of Organizational Change: | Thijs Homan | TEDxAmsterdamED 

A well done presentation. The key takeaway is that one cannot manage change because change occurs beyond the boundary of management control. His metaphor brings to mind meteorology: There are groups of order based on power configurations. These are high & low pressure centers. The workforce are self-organized into clouds of meaning. To effect change, one needs to change the power configurations. The workforce adapts to those changes. How the clouds look, etc. This results in weather fronts of change. Now the stronger the change, the stronger the front...the more catastrophic the impact.

This is my first time that I listened to the most exciting session on org change!

That picture 10:27 is the reality of all the organizations. There are various "powers" at play all the time and we as "change agents" should utilize majority of them to org's advantage. That means we have to be "political". Thank you for bringing clarity.

This is ‘big think’ with a capital B! Refreshing.

What a great talk on change management! An absolute fresh perspective

A very insightful presentation.

Finally there is something that make sense!

Excellent talk! Thank you.

Though tough to catch everything said, it is really wonderful talk. As a person working in changing organization, I learned a lot.

Wery frank and practical perspective! Love it :D

awesome presentation and unique perspective

Interesting perspective, it should probably be both, influencing a change when necessery from the outside, and watching for change and going with it and improving things from inside towards better big picture

Real life going on in org off stage so OC is power relations off stage. On stage interventions don’t influence life in org. Connecting with off stage reality is important so main focus should be on off stage. Thus in CM process reflect on assumptions- lay off the glasses of on stage formal interventions n find the change that’s dynamic n going around everywhere n link with it as that’s the real work.

can someone please explain or give me a link about what he trying to say because i'm having trouble understanding what he is saying

Very impressive & guiding lecture/presentation

18:45 Man, I didn't know change management branched off from quantum mechanics!

Does anyone know where to find his research?

easiest change management is to change THE management?

The question not being asked is why complicate something as simple as change? Ted talks is a platform for people who like hearing their voice. Making a complicated science from something so simple.
