Methodology
The Change Management Pocket Guide was written based on a simple model to help business managers frame where they are with respect to implementing organizational change.
Plan
The two steps of the Planning phase are assessing organizational needs and developing plans to help people change their behavior. Proper strategic planning enables leadership to identify potential workforce issues and tactical pitfalls.
Do
The primary goals of the Do phase are to launch communications and transition the work. Effective communication and transition activities create a receptive environment for the change event and facilitate smooth execution.
Sustain
The often overlooked step of a change project is the Sustain phase. During this phase your team must continually align structures and integrate new ways of working into business processes. If the organization fails to Sustain, the expected benefits will not be realized or will be short-lived. Ultimately, the inability to Sustain will adversely impact stakeholder buy-in and cooperation for future change events.
Culture
Culture is a set of shared values, beliefs and assumptions which drive and shape norms of behavior in a group of people. We know leaders create and drive culture and culture shapes the behavior of individuals over time and impacts business performance.
What kind of corporate cultures enhance long-term economic performance?
- Strategically appropriate cultures
- Cultures that help organizations anticipate and adapt to environmental change
At Change Guides, we use a combination of employee surveys, leadership interviews and focus groups to assess your current culture. We create your "Company Story" so that leaders can look in the mirror and understand strengths and opportunities that exist in the current culture. We also help identify changes needed in order for organizations to be more adaptable.
