MVCP - Minimum Viable Change Framework

• Because change is not a straightforward process we need to learn how to learn and do as much as we can with tools that are simple and lightweight.

Continual Alignment

• We don’t just communicate to people, we enter in conversation with the people impacted by the change. This allows us to align people to the change, continuously.

Experimenting Through Change

• When we start a change, we know little about how the people and the organization will react to the change. We learn about this through experimentation.
