    #6 - Why your Why is everything
    Feb 4 2026
    Many tech programs have a solid plan for the “what” and “how” — but a weak or missing “why”. This episode explains why a clear business ‘why’ isn’t a nice-to-have but a practical requirement for alignment, momentum, and stakeholder commitment in long programs like SAP or ERP. You’ll learn what makes a strong why, what happens when it’s missing, common pitfalls, and concrete steps to build a message that holds support when challenges hit. ➡️ Website Change Playbook: https://www.changeplaybook.com ➡️ Arne on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/arnekoetting/ ➡️ Book free 15-min catch-up: https://bit.ly/4qm4iBC

    #4 - Discover the early-warning system every IT leader needs before go-live
    Feb 2 2026
    Most tech programs fail not because the system is wrong, but because misalignment goes unnoticed until it’s too late. In this episode, Arne explains why structured, ongoing dialogue is your most reliable early-warning system when it comes to multi-year and multi-stakeholder tech transformation. You’ll learn how to surface hidden stakeholder risks, understand the rational resistance of line managers, and combine qualitative and quantitative insights to react fast and targeted and hence avoid reactive “reputation firefighting”. Practical guidance for IT leaders who want fewer surprises and a stronger path to go-live. ➡️ Website Change Playbook: https://www.changeplaybook.com ➡️ Arne on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/arnekoetting/ ➡️ Book free 15-min catch-up: https://bit.ly/4qm4iBC

    Jan 30 2026
    This episode breaks down why tech programs lose trust when leaders either overpromise on the benefits or undersell the real value. We explore how expectations shape adoption, what users actually judge at go-live, and how to balance honesty with clarity. You’ll learn how to assess true change impact, map your “hit & shit topics”, set credible expectations, and position your program in a way that protects adoption, reputation, and ROI. ➡️ Website Change Playbook: https://www.changeplaybook.com ➡️ Arne on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/arnekoetting/ ➡️ Book free 15-min catch-up: https://bit.ly/4qm4iBC

    Even well-run tech programs fail when leaders miss the organisational signals shaping that predict adoption. In this episode, Arne breaks down three common blind spots—history, context, and strategic alignment—and shows how they quietly undermine readiness long before go-live. You’ll learn what to scan early, how to read your organisation’s mood, and why a clear umbrella story protects adoption, credibility, and ROI.
