“We have to be effective and efficient at the things that enable us to provide value to the customers. If we are efficient or effective at things that thwart our ability to provide value to the customer – even if unconsciously – well, we would be contributing to our own demise under the guise of doing good. So any changes we make, in operations specifically, or any other business function, or on the whole, must be centered around the value exchange.”

“Many traditional models assume that change always occurs in a linear, sequential fashion, with clearly defined stages. For instance, Lewin's framework (Unfreeze-Change-Refreeze) implies a beginning, middle, and end to the change process.

“There's often an assumption that the goal of change management is to reach a new stable state. The "Refreeze" stage in Lewin's model exemplifies this. However, in today's world, continuous adaptation is often more critical than stability. The only constant is change. Therefore, companies need a framework which helps them to perpetually recreate themselves and be resilient, not one that assumes the goal of stability.”

“The R6 framework isn't designed as only a theoretical exercise divorced from the practical realities of organizational life. In addition to the above descriptions of its efficacy, its efficacy is also in its inherent capacity to incorporate the diverse nuances of various business functions including those managed by human resources, operations, product development, finance, and other essential departments. I refer to this as its “nurturing effect.”
