    According to executives at 
    Fortune 500 companies less than 50% of their change initiatives were 
    successful. 
    � 
    
    � 
    When planning a change 
    initiative, you should ask the following questions. 
    
    ��������
    Who will take what 
    roles in the change process and what will be their responsibilities? 
    
    ��������
    What will the new 
    structure or process look like after the change? 
    
    ��������
    Who will this change 
    affect and how does this change affect those people? 
    
    ��������
    What are the 
    different stages of the change plan and what are the desired deadline dates? 
    
    ��������
    What type of 
    communications should be provided, to whom and when or how often? 
    � 
    If you are looking for 
    a good book on the change process or the people side of change, consider:
     
    
    ���������
    "Managing At the 
    Speed of Change" by Daryl R. Conner  
    
    ���������
    
    "Managing 
    Transitions: Making the Most of Change" by
    William Bridges 
    � 
    
    � 
    How can your computer help with 
    change initiatives?� You probably already know how you can use it to create 
    both text and graphic communications to reinforce the change plan.� And some 
    of you may use spreadsheets, project management software, or other 
    applications to track progress on schedule and budget.� These methods help 
    you once you have decided how to deploy your change.� What if you haven�t 
    decided on what the best change to make is or need help on coming up with a 
    process for the change deployment?� To help you get a jump on planning your 
    change in the best way, you can utilize search engines to find change 
    management books, consulting, training, and other tools.

    I�d like to 
    share an idea I use in workshops and meetings for helping managers and teams 
    to understand the importance of proper planning when managing a change 
    plan.� In your next facilitated meeting or training session, try the 
    activity I designed and outlined in the Dallas ASTD newsletter article at
