The Goal of Change Management
A comprehensive Change Management strategy prepares and engages affected colleagues and
stakeholders for new or modified organizations, processes, policies, and technologies. Proactive change
management increases engagement, minimizes organizational disruption and productivity losses, and
prepares the organization for long-term, sustainable results.
Focus of Change Management -
Individual Commitment to Change

Purpose of the change is unclear
•
Fear of failure
•
The rewards don’t match the efforts
•
Respect for the leaders of the change

Once persuaded, people will often help
with the implementation of the change
.
D

Where the initiators do not have all the
information, they need to design the
change, and where others have
considerable power to resist.
A
d

People who participate will be
committed to implementing the change,
and any relevant information they have
will be integrated into the change plan.
D

Sometimes it is a relatively easy way to
avoid major resistance.

It is speedy and can overcome any kind
of resistance.
D

Can be risky if it leaves
people mad at the

Change Management Approach
Change management is more than communication and training. Engaging others in the
change involves leadership alignment and stakeholder readiness.

9 Tactics for Communicating I
Stories
.
When you tell a good story, you give life to a vision. The telling of
stories creates trust, captures hearts and minds, and serves as a reminder of
the vision. Plus, people find it easier to repeat a story than talk about a vision
statement.
The elevator speech
.
Every leader needs to be able to communicate the
vision in a clear, brief way. What compelling vision can you describe in the
amount of time you have during a typical elevator ride? Be prepared to
reinforce the vision in line at the cafeteria, when you visit other departments,
and even walking through the parking lot at the end of the day.
Multiple media
.
The more channels of communication you use, the better
your chance of creating an organization that "gets" the vision. Use meetings,
memos, lunches, podcasts, e-mail, an internal web site, and whatever else you
can think of (Twitter, anyone?) that will keep the message in circulation.
Talk to me.
Individualize the vision by engaging others in one-on-one
conversations. Personal connections give leaders opportunities to transmit
information, receive feedback, build support and create energy around the
vision.

9 Tactics for Communicating II
Draw a crowd.
Identify key players, communicators, stakeholders and
supporters throughout the organization who will motivate others to reflect on
and be engaged with the vision.
Go outside.
Communicate to external customers, partners and vendors with
advertising and public relations campaigns, catalogs, announcements and
other statements.
Make memories.
Create metaphors, figures of speech and slogans and find
creative ways to use them. Write a theme song or a memorable motto.
Guide the expedition.
Use visual aids and updates to keep everyone aware
of the progress you are making toward your vision. Create a vision GPS, but
don’t just give out maps. Travel alongside, stay out in front, offer directions
and point out guideposts.
Back it up
.
If you’re talking it up, be sure to back it up with actions and
behaviors. If people see one thing and hear another, your credibility is shot
and your vision is dead.

Why is Change Management Important? 70% of organizational change initiatives fail. Leading Change Successfully 2nd Edition, Harvard Business Review OnPoint Collection, Feb 1, 2005
Major Change Challenges The most significant challenges when implementing change projects are people-oriented. Changing mindsets and attitudes = 58% Corporate culture = 49% Complexity is underestimated = 35% *Adapted from IBM, Making Change Work , page 14.
Exercise #1 - Approach to Change Think of an example of when you, as a manager, had to support a significant work change (e.g., process, roles, staffing) Your thoughts: Questions: As a manager, what role did you take on to lead the change and help your staff adapt? How was the change communicated? Did you face resistance? If so, why? How did you deal with resistance? What did you learn? What w w ?
There Are Two Sides of Change Any transformation will affect both the organization and its people. Change Management activities are directed toward the people dimension of change. People Dimension of Change Structural Dimension of Change Communication Training Strategy and Operations Business Processes Engagement Technology Organizational Structures
The Goal of Change Management A comprehensive Change Management strategy prepares and engages affected colleagues and stakeholders for new or modified organizations, processes, policies, and technologies. Proactive change management increases engagement, minimizes organizational disruption and productivity losses, and prepares the organization for long-term, sustainable results.
Focus of Change Management - Individual Commitment to Change Ownership! Adoption: Individuals champion the change, taking accountability and ownership for the success of the transformation. Level of Commitment Acceptance: Individuals have a positive attitude regarding the change the new state. They begin to feel accountable for making it happen. Understanding: Individuals can explain the impact of the change on themselves and on the organization. Awareness: Individuals become aware of the change and a vision of the future is introduced. Time
Exercise #2 - Reacting to Change Think about a change that you have experienced at work and answer the questions below. Question: What was the change? How far did you progress in accepting the change? What helped you to accept the change? Was the long-term effect of the change positive or negative? Answer:
Employees adapt to change at different rates Everitt M. Rogers, Diffusion of Innovations (1983).
Reasons for Resistance C -initiated Routine is disrupted - T w Fear of the unknown Purpose of the change is unclear Fear of failure T w Respect for the leaders of the change Personal loss Additional work commitment John C. Maxwell (2001)
Dealing with Resistance ! Bring it out into the open. Identify the assumptions, fears, feelingsbehind it. Take a learning/exploratory stance towards it. Ask questions! Reinforce the necessity of change and help people get there!
Options for Addressing Resistance Drawbacks Can be very time consuming if lots of people are involved. Advantages Once persuaded, people will often help with the implementation of the change. Approach Education & Communication Commonly used in situations Where there is a lack of information or inaccurate information and analysis Commonly used in situations Where the initiators do not have all the information, they need to design the change, and where others have considerable power to resist. Drawbacks Can be very time consuming if participators design an inappropriate change. Advantages People who participate will be committed to implementing the change, and any relevant information they have will be integrated into the change plan. Approach Participation & Involvement Drawbacks Can be very time consuming, expensive, and still fail. Advantages No other approach works as well with adjustment problems. Approach Facilitation & Support Commonly used in situations Where other people are resisting because of adjustment problems. Commonly used in situations Where someone or some group will clearly lose out in a change, and where that group has considerable power to resist. Drawbacks Can be too expensive in many cases if it alerts others to negotiate for compliance. Approach Negotiation & Agreement Advantages Sometimes it is a relatively easy way to avoid major resistance. Drawbacks Can be risky if it leaves people mad at the initiators. Advantages It is speedy and can overcome any kind of resistance. Approach Explicit & Implicit Coercion Commonly used in situations Where speed is essential, and the change initiators possess considerable power.
Change Management Approach Change management is more than communication and training. Engaging others in the change involves leadership alignment and stakeholder readiness. Leadership Alignment Setting and committing to shared goals Stakeholder Readiness Preparing stakeholders for the impacts of change Analysis of stakeholder roles and involvement in project success Planned engagement of leaders to ensure commitment to change and clear understanding of vision of the future Coaching to ensure leaders are appropriately equipped to lead their colleagues through change Strategic engagement of internal and external stakeholders to ensure understanding and commitment to change Communication Training Communicating key messages and gathering feedback Building knowledge and skills to ensure a smooth transition Deliberate, timed and sequenced communication to stakeholders Assessment of stakeholder training needs related to a change Two-way communications to inform and encourage commitment to change Strategic delivery of training courses to equip employees w w , , w
