Employee experience (EX) is our journey within the workplace. It must include the entire organizational journey; starting from the application process and continuing after being separated. This includes recruitment, on-boarding, our role within the organization, how well we understand the goals of the business, how the company rewards us and how it develops us to be the best that we possibly can be.

The traditional approach to change management usually implies detailed central planning and top-down hypotheses. The result? Around 70% of change projects fail.

The new collaborative way of managing change focuses on the process of collective, joint-exploration of change.  Because people are not against change per se – they are against being changed. To make the people part of the change they first need to believe in change.
