In the vast universe of business, there’s a puzzle that stumps even the brightest minds: Why do 70% of companies falter when trying to transform themselves?

The answer isn’t hidden in data servers or financial reports—it’s encoded in the three L’s: Layers, Language, and Levels.

Understanding this is like finding the secret passage that leads to victory in the complex maze of business change.

Let’s delve in!

The Three L's: Layers, Language, and Levels

The Layers element of the 3 L's (Layers, Language, and Levels) 🔒

Every business is built on three layers. Picture a three-story house. On the top floor, you have the Strategy team—think of them as the architects.

They’re crafting the grand vision of what the house will become.

The middle floor is home to Operations, the builders and decorators, turning the vision into a livable space.

And the ground floor is bustling with Implementation, the handymen making sure all the nuts and bolts are in place.

But here’s the catch—the house only becomes a home when everyone is speaking the same language and understands each other’s needs at every level.

Strategy's Blueprint: Lost in Translation?

Strategy creates the blueprint for change.

But if that blueprint is like a complex piece of art that only they can interpret, the rest of the house can’t follow along.

The language of big ideas needs to be translated into clear instructions and dialogues that resonate on all floors.

Operations: The Nexus of Now

Operations is where the present moment lives. They need clear, empowering communication from Strategy that lets them build efficiently and effectively.

When Operations speaks, they’re talking about the tangible, the real-time changes that the customers will feel and see. They’re the bridge between the dream and the doing.

👏 "The secret to transformation success? Speak the same language across all levels. Harmony in the 3 L's—Layers, Language, and Levels—is the blueprint to winning in business change" 💥🚨 #BusinessTransformation #HOBA #BusinessArchitecture

Implementation: Detailing the Dream

Down on the ground, Implementation lives in the world of fine details.

They’re the ones who bring the blueprint to life, nail by nail, code by code.

Their language is precision, and they thrive on the specifics.

When they don’t have clarity or the finer points are glossed over, that’s when the house risks falling apart.

Why We Miss the Mark: Forgetting the 3 L's

The staggering failure rate in business transformation comes down to this: the three layers often fail to harmonize.

The strategic architects aren’t explaining their vision in a way that the builders and handymen can understand and act upon.

The levels of detail are mismatched, and the language becomes a tower of Babel, where meaning is lost between the floors.

Building Bridges, Not Walls

To turn the tide, we need architects that don’t just draw plans but also teach them.

We need builders who don’t just construct walls but also contribute ideas.

And we need handymen who are equipped not just to tighten the screws but also to understand the house’s grand design.

The Secret to Joining the Top 30%

To be part of the Top 30% that nails the transformation, your business must become fluent in the 3 L’s.

It’s about harmonizing the layers, speaking a shared language, and appreciating the levels of detail required at each stage.
