In this episode of the organisational change series, Shane Leaning explores why alignment is crucial for successful change implementation in schools. Through practical examples and actionable strategies, he demonstrates how misalignment can derail even the most well-researched initiatives.

Key Insights

  • Many school initiatives fail not because of the change itself, but due to lack of alignment among stakeholders

  • True alignment goes beyond surface-level agreement to create shared understanding

  • Different stakeholder groups may interpret the same concept (e.g., "wellbeing") in vastly different ways
