Transition involves a constant interplay of creation and destruction. It's about building up new, sustainable ways of doing things while simultaneously breaking down old, harmful practices. Every transition has patterns of destruction and patterns of creation. The patterns of creation focus on developing new ways of thinking, working, and organising.

PHASE IN

Building up new activities and practises can start small. It is import to have some small but quick wins to engage colleagues. At the same time you want to avoid negative energy as much as possible. so doing new things should go at the expense of old ways.

PHASE OUT

Without a proper phase out plan of old ways, there will not be enough space for new activities without increasing the work pressure. Building up and breaking down activities can be planned around some balance. The ESG framework in combination with the predictive value of your company's data is the best guide for strategy and transformation.
