- 2. Background • Stuart Pyle Cat Wrangler MBA MIOD FIRP. Director of Straplan Limited * Successfully motivating “change” only occurs when buy-in is absolute, and everyone is involved and accountable. Fear is overcome and there is total clarity of vision and purpose. • It is my long held belief that “Change“ is not prescribed it is evoked. • ‘Evoking change’ requires the engagement of individuals and groups through the art of conversation and questions to initiate thought and develop collaborative inclusive and owned solutions.
