Theory ZYX: the new innovation |
The leaders who have managed major change
know how difficult, complex, and consuming succeeding at
creating change can be. Those who have not been through a
major change initiative may think of the above statement as
an exaggeration.
On the surface, public
admission of failure of a change initiative is rare, but the brutal
fact is that 70% of all change initiatives fail or produce only
middling results. The initial question is why do so many change
programs not produce excellent results? The question is especially
critical in today's rapid fire business environment.
Theory ZYX of Successful
Change Management is the new practical innovative theory developed
by Nigam Arora to help leaders ensure success at creating change.
Theory ZYX is the result of years of real life experiences, not
merely a study of the human mind.
Theory ZYX uncovers real
reasons behind change initiative failures, discovers hidden truths
of basic human nature, makes visible what is not visible on the
surface, and ties new innovations in a comprehensive practical
framework, complete with rigorous measurements as well as leading
indicators, to successfully manage change.
Theory ZYX results in a
closed loop feedback system —
starting from a preliminary picture of vision
— thinking through available
strategies, desired results, proposed implementation, and the most
important aspects of the nature of the people involved
— feeding back the discoveries
to the vision development —repeating
the process in a recursive manner —
for all of the twelve elements and three axes of Theory ZYX
— continuing the iterative
process in precisely the fashion prescribed by Theory ZYX
— until the measurements related
to each element are rated in the acceptable band
—following the rigorous
discipline of Theory ZYX related to planning, execution, and people
— the result is the assurance of
success at change management.
For details of Theory ZYX,
please read the
whitepaper.
One major advantage of
applying Theory ZYX is that it concentrates your focus on only
twelve elements in three dimensions. These elements are responsible
for 99% of the success. You no longer waste your time and energy on
a multitude of other factors that contribute only 1% to the success.
For details, please request the
whitepaper
titled 'Succeed Every Time at Creating Change' with a subtitle of
'Theory ZYX of Successful Change Management'.
Theory ZYX is quite versatile and comprehensive, as such it works
well in a variety of situations including but not limited to those
listed below:
