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
