Mastering
Change
Some simple
steps to successful change
The Mastering Change Implementation
workshop teaches
you how to make change happen in your business without creating
more grief and pain than necessary. Learn to address these important
questions...
1. Why change now?
There are some good business
reasons for implementing the changes you have in mind. A common
mistake lies in not explaining those reasons to the staff.
What data do you have to show
the need for the change? Why are we doing it now and not last
year or next year? Is there a "burning platform"?
2. What will it look like after
the change?
You will have a vision of what
the business will look like after the changes are implemented.
The change will happen in stages. It is important to document
and explain them to those who are affected by the change.
What are the specific goals and
objectives? What will happen first? How will we know it's working?
What is the time line?
3. Who will lead the change?
Inevitably change is led one
on one. Staff will look to their immediate team leader for specific
guidance on what the change means to them. It's critical to identify
and include the opinion leaders into the change project.
What are the communication and
information needs of the opinion leaders? How do we include them
in the change team?
4. How do we communicate the
change to those involved?
Staff, customers, shareholders,
managers are all targets for the change. Making sure they are
communicated with effectively is very important. Understanding
their various needs for information in times of change is vital.
What's in it for each group to
get involved? What is the value to them of the change? How do
we express the attributes of the change so they see the benefits?
5. What systemic barriers
can slow the change?
Systems, supervisors and structures
all need to be reviewed. Those that will slow down the change
implementation need to be changed to support the changes. Aspects
of the corporate culture need to modified to anchor the changes
into "the way we do things around here".
Is our organisation structure
right? Are we recruiting the right people for our future? How
do our pay and reward processes support the change?
How is the workshop run?
It is an action learning workshop. Workshop groups are small
and there is sufficient time to discuss individual situations.
Participants work on their real life business situation to develop
their own priorities for action.
