Practicality Amazing: Where big ideas meet daily actions.
Let’s be honest: asking people to connect with big, abstract ideas like “values” or “inclusivity” can feel a bit like asking them to build a puzzle without showing the picture on the box. It’s tough, especially for people who do their best work when they have clear, concrete steps to follow. Instead of introducing sweeping concepts and hoping everyone feels inspired, let’s meet people where they are by building these changes into their actual work.
For example, if we want to encourage continuous learning, instead of talking about it in a big meeting, we could bake it right into projects by giving everyone a chance to try out new skills on real tasks. Or, if teamwork is the goal, rather than having a team-building seminar, we can set up cross-functional projects that make collaboration the norm. This way, people experience these values in action instead of being asked to “get” them conceptually.
“The benefits of knowledge can only be realized in practice.”
We create something much more powerful by making change a natural part of daily work. It doesn’t just feel like one more box to check—it actually boosts performance, helping people build skills that align with the organisation’s goals. When employees can see how their individual actions fit into the bigger picture, change stops being abstract and becomes real, supportive, and meaningful.
Let’s keep it real and practical—small changes in the flow of work make a big difference, and everyone wins!
