Letโs debunk a myth: โ๐๐ข๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ก๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐โ๐๐๐๐.โ
No, theyโre not.
Theyโre tired of bad change.
They're tired of failed growth initiatives that lead to more change.
๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒโ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐๐ป:
โ Lack of Communication: Leaders roll out a vision, but no one explains the why. Or the when. Or the how. Confusion breeds resistance.
โShifting Priorities: Last monthโs โmission-criticalโ initiative gets shelved when a new consultant walks in with a shinier deck.
โ Broken Promises: Engagement surveys get filled outโฆ and dropped into a black hole. Trust erodes, and cynicism sets in.
โ No Follow-Through: Town halls inspire. Slack channels light up. But nothing changes after the buzz fades.
This isn't change fatigue. This is poor change design, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ถ๐โ๐ ๐ฒ๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด.
Hereโs the hard truth: Most growth consulting fails because itโs not built on a foundation of Organizational Development (OD).
Growth consultants often come in with:
โช๏ธBold revenue goals
โช๏ธShiny playbooks
โช๏ธAggressive timelines
โช๏ธTop-down re-orgs
But they ignore the system dynamics underneath:
๐กHow power really moves
๐กWhat people actually believe
๐กWhatโs already broken in culture or trust
๐กWhat competing values are at war in the org
Growth Consulting โ OD Consulting
Finance โ Organizational Psychology
They treat symptoms. OD addresses root causes. So what happens?
๐ฃ Quick wins fade.
๐ฃ Staff burnout spikes.
๐ฃ Attrition rises.
๐ฃ The โtransformationโ becomes just another change that failed.
And then someone says, โ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ก๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐โ๐๐๐๐.โ
OD builds systems for sustainable, inclusive transformation that successfully enable change! ๐ก
๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒโ๐ ๐ต๐ผ๐ ๐ข๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐น๐ฎ๐ถ๐บ๐ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ด๐ฒ:
๐Transparent Design: Everyone knows whatโs changing, why it matters, and how they fit in.
๐ฅ Inclusive Co-Creation: Change isnโt done to peopleโitโs done with them. Trust is built through shared ownership.
๐ง Behavioral Reinforcement: OD links change to daily habits, leadership modeling, and team normsโnot just comms campaigns.
๐ Measured Momentum: OD establishes visible progress indicators, celebrates early wins, and adapts in real time.
๐ฑ Sustainable Growth: Because OD aligns the change initiative with culture, leadership, and talent, and when this happens, the roots hold.
๐ฆ๐ผ ๐น๐ฒ๐โ๐ ๐๐๐ผ๐ฝ ๐ฏ๐น๐ฎ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ. Itโs not their fault.
Fix your change process, not your workforce.
And before you hire another growth firm, ask: "๐ท๐ ๐กโ๐๐ฆ ๐ข๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ก๐๐๐ ๐กโ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ฆ๐ ๐ก๐๐ ๐กโ๐๐ฆโ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ข๐๐ก๐๐๐?"
If not, youโre not scaling. Youโre sowing chaos. OD is how you scale growth without breaking the culture.
