📒 Fostering Valuable Change: Author Brendon Baker (Part 1)

Brendon Baker joins us from Canberra, Australia to talk about his debut book, Valuable Change. He is the Founder and Managing Director of Valuable Change Co, a management agency that helps leaders keep transformation simple and ensure it pays off. Their clients include high-growth tech firms, well-known Australian household names like AGL and South32, and all three levels of the Australian Government. For many organizations, change often involves long meetings, lots of reports, confusion about the goals, and worry about how long it will take and cost. These complexities make 85% of change initiatives in companies worthless.
Brendon has 12+ years experience in change management and believes the profession has over-complicated change management approaches. He has taken it upon himself to simplify it and in doing so help change leaders drive real value.
We discuss what every change leader needs to know to ensure any change they lead delivers the desired results, and what valuable change looks like.
Scientifically-backed momentum strategies that change leaders can use to accelerate their change success. In particular, he could talk about an idea called the momentum path that enables leaders to diagnose the current momentum level of each of their team members.
Brendon's tips on how to generate phenomenal change buy-in at your organization.
