One of the responsibilities of Alliance Managers in our roles as Captains of Change is to "Set the Cadence". What does this mean?
Setting the cadence is setting the pace of change. It requires having an in depth understanding of both the requirements of the collaboration as well as your company's culture so that you understand what kind of pace is possible. It's understanding what needs to happen and when it needs to happen in order to affect change. It's prodding and encouraging stakeholders to create a sense of urgency when it's necessary and knowing when to take a moment to measure progress.
