The kick-off went well, the first workshops had energy and the plan looked solid. Then, somewhere around week ten, everything slows down. Meetings get postponed and the old way of working quietly returns.
Momentum is not a plan
Most change programs are designed for the launch, not for the middle. The middle is where the extra work collides with the day job, and the day job always wins.
Three things that help
Show a measurable result before week four, give every change a single owner in the line organisation and remove one old task for every new one you add.
