We’re kicking off the new year with Rick Hinton, founder and CEO of Valerius Consulting. Valerius provides adaptive change management services, especially for data analytics organizations. Rick and Evan discuss what change management looks like in the analytics world and why it’s necessary for growth. We learn about the importance of the words “trust”, “deliberate”, and “gradual” as they relate to implementing effective change. Rick wraps up by teaching us the CALM process for change management (Communication, Alignment, Learning, & Measurement) and providing practical advice for businesses.
Key Takeaways:
📈How change management is synonymous with continuous learning
📈Common barriers to change and how to foster an environment of trust
📈The pacing of effective change within an organization
📈The CALM process for change management and how to apply it to your business (Communication, Alignment, Learning, Measurement)
Quotes:
💬 Trust is not an initiative that you plug in. It's the way you operate every day.
— Rick Hinton
💬 The business folks, the technical folks, and the data science and analytics folks - the challenge has always been them speaking the same language…The change challenge is they don't understand each other…That language barrier is a big impediment to change.
— Rick Hinton
💬 We’re not just changing for change’s sake. We're trying to improve, we're trying to learn, and that ties in really well with what people in the data science realm and analytics realm do. That's what they do every day, to try to interpret output and make decisions and learn from it.
— Rick Hinton
