Kotter 8-Step Step 7 - Sustain Acceleration. Use credibility from wins to change all systems + structures + policies that do not fit the vision + hire + promote + develop people who can implement the vision + reinvigorate the process with new projects + themes + change agents. The Accelerate (2014) Dual Operating System extension: traditional hierarchy operates business-as-usual (operational excellence + cost + efficiency + reliability) while a networked organisation (Volunteer Army organised in flexible cross-functional teams) operates strategic change (innovation + agility + speed + opportunity-grabbing). Both systems share leadership + governance + culture + people (rotating between them). Successive waves of change build on each other rather than declared finished. Common failure: declaring victory too soon + losing executive sponsorship + losing volunteer energy + cuts to change budget after initial wins + hand-off to BAU without sustaining structures. Methods: dual operating system institutionalisation + successive change waves + change academy + permanent change function + leadership pipeline + governance forum + portfolio review cadence + senior sponsor reaccession.
