An effective process to create meaningful change begins with:

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

An effective process to create meaningful change begins with identifying and discussing a past crisis, a potential crisis, or major opportunities.This step is important because it helps to create a sense of urgency and motivation for the change, as well as to clarify the vision and goals of the change1. A past crisis can be used as a learning opportunity to analyze what went wrong and how to prevent it from happening again. A potential crisis can be used as a warning signal to anticipate and prepare for the possible challenges and risks.A major opportunity can be used as a catalyst to seize the competitive advantage and create value for the organization and its stakeholders2.

The other options are not the best ways to start an effective process to create meaningful change.Reviewing financial outcomes and metrics over the last 4 quarters year-over-year may provide some insights into the performance and profitability of the organization, but it may not reveal the underlying causes or drivers of the change, or the future trends and scenarios that may affect the organization3.Refreshing corporate strategy to align with current marketplace realities for your industry may be a necessary step in the change process, but it may not be sufficient to generate buy-in and commitment from the people who are involved in or affected by the change4.Using consultants to provide in-depth analysis of current management opportunities may be a helpful way to obtain external perspectives and expertise, but it may not ensure that the change is aligned with the organization's culture, values, and capabilities5.

I bet the consultants in D) would charge an arm and a leg for their 'in-depth analysis'. Maybe we could just ask the janitor instead?

That's a good point, we could probably get some valuable insights from someone who sees things from a different perspective.

D) could be interesting, but I'm not sure I trust those consultants. They always try to make things more complicated than they need to be.

B) seems like the obvious choice here. You gotta address the elephants in the room before you can make meaningful changes.
