If you manage your organization’s business development, you will greatly benefit from using the Four Rooms of Change.
The Four Rooms of Change is used by companies of all sizes and in all industries, as well as on every continent. This concept is also used in the public sector and nonprofit organizations.
Some have just begun to explore its benefits, while others have been using it for years. Still others have used the Four Rooms as a business development tool on an incredibly broad front for more than 20 years.
IKEA, for example, has used the Four Rooms model in most parts of its business since 1996 through a corporate agreement and continues to do so. This is because the model works everywhere and pays off. Another organization with similar experience is the Utah Transit Authority, Salt Lake City’s public transportation system, which has used the model for the same reasons as IKEA.
How is the Four Rooms model used in business development?
There are many examples, and they are increasing as the model is refined and adopted more widely.
The model is used, for example:
- To enable the introduction of LEAN
- In start-ups and innovative organizations
- In diversity work
- In the board
- In the management team
- In project groups and project management
- In steering groups
- Growth markets
- In connection with acquisitions and mergers
- In highly complex and risky situations
- To bridge cultural differences
- Within the Global Compact and CSR
