Keypoint

Adopt this component by...

For each phase of the Transformation cascade, people speak either a different dialect or language from the phases above and below.

C-Suite: Instigate an initiative to educate people on the different languages used in all areas of the Enterprise.

Questions to ponder...

What Languages does your Enterprise use for Enterprise Transformation?

Do people recognise when they are talking a different language?

What happens when people say “we are talking a different language”?

Are different languages taught?

If not, how do you expect people to be able to communicate effectively?
