Personal Change As A Key Determinant Of The Outcomes Of Organisational Transformation Interventions

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the critical role of personal change, and its inherent elements, in determining the outcomes of organisational transformation interventions. The purposeful sampling method was used to involve expert organisational transformation consultants as participants (N=10). A qualitative content analysis technique was applied to infer meaningful explanations to the research problem. It was found that although personal change formed an integral part of transformation interventions, it was not adequately explored and utilized as a crucial and consequential dimension in influencing the results of organisational transformation interventions. The implications of the findings are discussed.
