It is possible to effect transformational change on complex systems such as companies, cities, and ecosystems. However, to do so, you must first identify the system's most sensitive points of power or influence, which we call "leverage points".Among the four types of leverage points listed below, one is the easiest to "trigger" but also the least effective for achieving systemic and transformational change. Which type of change is least effective?AChanging constants, parameters, thresholds, or numbers: e.g., changing the numerical value of standards on air pollutionBModifying the structure of information flows: e.g., installing a water-use gauge that is clearly visible to everyone, instead of placing it out of sightCModifying the rules of the system: e.g., replacing an individual evaluation system with a collective rating systemDChanging the paradigm from which the system emerged: e.g., challenging an established assumption, such as Copernicus did when he proved that Earth is not the center of the UniverseEI'm not sure

What are a few common characteristics of a successful large transformational change in an organisation? People’s fears have been addressed in tangible ways. They have been given the time to change and provided with alternatives in case they cannot change.The doubts of and the resistance from the middle management (i.e., managers and senior managers who oversee frontline teams) have been resolved and eliminated and they have committed to the change initiative.Senior managers are assured that every change gain will be anchored, although there is apprehension that the organisation could slip back to the old status quo.Barriers that could derail the change have been identified and a plan to remove them has been devised.2, 3 and 41, 2 and 41, 3 and 41, 2 and 3
