The document discusses how organizational change initiatives often fail due to a lack of alignment across the organization. It proposes using canvases to help create alignment by involving people, accepting uncertainty, and using feedback-driven approaches. Specifically, canvases can be used at the organizational level to establish a shared vision and strategy for change. They can also be used at the team/department level to plan experiments that contribute to the overall change effort and track progress. Regular review of the canvases helps maintain engagement and momentum for change. The document advocates for using canvases to facilitate open conversations about change rather than focusing on blame.
