The "dream-team" capabilities for driving dynamic and joined-up change
About this course:
Change is accelerating and fragmenting, fast. This workshop is for everyone who needs to have a joined-up view of change: joined-up goals, architectures, requirements, risks, resources and methods. If that's you, then your role is about creating across-the-board outcomes that are more than just the sum of individually-chosen changes.
The acceleration of change is outside-in. Markets transform and customer choices evolve faster than many enterprises are capable of changing, yet slower than others would prefer. Getting out-of-sync with the market, one way or the other, is now more likely than ever and will soon show up in the business results. Speed-to-outcomes is now a defining requirement in choosing the best changes to invest in.
Fragmented change is both a trend and a choice. Global developments, such as digitalization, AI and enterprise agility, are exploding the volume and diversity of ideas to invest in. Meanwhile, people are dividing-up changes – where possible – into small, low-risk and iterative deliveries, worked on by self-governing teams. So, being dynamic at creating co-ordinated outcomes, through diverse and fragmented initiatives, is now at the heart of our excellence at investing in change.
Two days. Eight inter-related workshop sessions. As many of your real-world challenges as we can answer in the time. Starting with what it takes to be excellent at investing in change, and finishing with what you want to do next. We'll explore strategy, culture, process, portfolio, structure and performance. And, conclude the "dream team" capabilities that every enterprise needs today – to create joined-up outcomes, at market-speed, from an increasing diversity of ideas and initiatives.

Chris Potts works with people in diverse countries, cultures and industries. Chris helps them to grow their capabilities at investing in change.
As a practitioner, he specialises in short, dynamic and outcomes-driven interventions, delivering breakthrough results in hours or days - for example:
- Creating an integrated, goals-driven Change Portfolio for a global group based in 35 countries
- Finding that over 40% of an enterprise's total investment was in changes they did not need
- Formulating a 3-year strategy for ambitious business growth, by prioritising investment in goals not initiatives
- Reducing the diversity of a company's changes by 60%, to achieve the portfolio goals with less risk and more focus
- Redesigning how a GBP 200 million-turnover charity invested efficiently in change
He trains Executives, Enterprise Architects and Designers, Business Analysts and Change Portfolio Managers in how to create joined-up outcomes, collaboratively and at market-speed, from an increasing diversity of ideas and initiatives.

He has also chaired world-leading conferences on Business Change, Transformation, Innovation, and Enterprise Architecture.
Chris is the author of a trilogy of business novels - FruITion, RecrEAtion and DefrICtion - that explore the inter-woven stories of strategy, investing in change, enterprise architecture and portfolio management, through the eyes of three very different people: a CIO, an Enterprise Architect, and a Global Chief Executive. He is also architect of the Enterprise Investment Portfolio Management Method, EIPMM® (www.eipmm.com).
