From Control to Collaboration: Why Leading Isn’t Enough - You Must Facilitate to Drive Real Change
In today’s fast-paced business environment, organizations are under constant pressure to innovate and adapt. Yet, despite large investments in new technologies, processes, and strategies, many struggle to achieve meaningful change. Why? Because at the heart of innovation is the ability to collaborate, solve complex problems, and make decisions—areas where facilitation plays a crucial role.
Going beyond temporary solutions
It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day of running a business—there’s always a new challenge to tackle, a market shift to respond to, or an urgent issue to fix.
But when businesses rely on quick fixes to keep things going, they may find themselves stuck in a cycle of applying “band-aids” that don’t truly solve the problem. It’s like patching a leaky roof—you may cover the hole for now, but unless you address the underlying damage, the leaks will keep coming back

At conferences, in boardrooms, and in media, the question is always the same: “What's the size of the company?” or “How much did the business grow last quarter compared to the last?”. The larger the number, the better. The faster, the more impressive. The greater the breakage of communities or employees, the more credible. Its time we reframe that.

The challenge is, that the transition to sustainable growth - where the focus is on long-term value for all stakeholders - is no longer a nice to have, it’s a must to survive. Increasingly regulators are demanding it, customers are expecting it, and competition is pursuing it. So, the question is not why but how you do the transition. Here are 5 actions to get you started.
