"The only way to know how a complex system will behave - after you modify it - is to modify it and see how it behaves." - George E. P. Box

Aligning people, processes, culture, and strategy becomes increasingly complex in resource-constrained environments shaped by diverse values and belief systems. In such settings, effective systems serve as the framework to address unpredictability, shifting mindsets, and the interaction between an organization's internal dynamics and the broader societal context.

Leading Through Sand and Fog explores the challenges of navigating organizational change in emerging markets, with a particular focus on Ghana, Africa.

Achieving effective systems in developing economies requires a strategy that accounts for the unique nuances of each context, along with a willingness to learn and adapt. Rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach to driving improved organizational performance, leaders can effectively design and implement pragmatic change management strategies to manage the turbulence and thrive, even when it feels like navigating through sand and fog.
