6. Implications
Traditional career pathways
become less relevant
Hiring and developing change
leaders becomes more relevant
1 2
Traditional career pathways are a less meaningful concept than they were 20 or 30 years ago. With businesses changing and being disrupted so rapidly,
careers and professions are dying out and being born virtually every day. Hence, predictable, sequenced career pathways and promotion trajectories are
becoming a thing of the past. Rather than hiring individuals with a very specific skill set for a specific career pathway, that we should be hiring and developing
people explicitly for their ability to change.
7. How do we assess change capability?
Change Leadership Profile Change Aptitude Profile
An Individual Change Report details an individual’s natural aptitude to lead and manage change. It is based on a series of questionnaires that look at
working styles, professional motivations and emotional intelligence. The results are then mapped across 10 distinct change leadership competencies such
as team building and achievement drive, which have been proven as critical characteristics to successfully embed and sustain change. Individuals are also
mapped to a Change Aptitude Profile which shows their natural ability to readily adopt, embed and sustain changed within an organisation.

9. Key Takeaways
A key differentiator for contemporary organisations is the speed at
which their people can adopt to change
Given the disruptive nature of the global economy, traditional hiring
patterns and career pathways are less meaningful
We should hire and develop individuals for their ability to adapt to
and lead change
Identifying change-ready individuals requires a change competency
model
This change competency models helps organisations identify the right
capabilities for hiring and development and to shape their change
programs to suit their specific organisational DNA
