&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;__NOTOC__&lt;br /&gt;
== Description ==&lt;br /&gt;
Revolutionary change has a high risk of failure, therefore change should be evolutionary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Rationale ==&lt;br /&gt;
Revolutionary change, where a significant change is made in a transactional fashion, has a far higher risk of failure than multiple small incremental changes. An evolutionary approach to change introduction is recommended, with the following considerations:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Ensure those impacted by a change are part of the change process as opposed to having the changes done to them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Understand and start from the current context of your organisation and system of work.&lt;br /&gt;
* Use the Scaling Principles as a &amp;quot;Lens&amp;quot; to assess and understand potential opportunities for improvement.&lt;br /&gt;
* Create change hypotheses for the high-priority opportunities.&lt;br /&gt;
* Introduce and support a small number of experiments that can be run and evaluated independently.&lt;br /&gt;
* Use volunteers in the experiments where possible.&lt;br /&gt;
* Apply learnings back into the experiments.&lt;br /&gt;
* Broaden adoption when proven and where applicable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Related Principles==&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Start small and scale success]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Create the environment for people to thrive]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Foster a high trust environment]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Maximise engagement]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Catalyst for change]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Involve those affected by change]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Create a Learning Organisation]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Own your own approach]]&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
