The idea of change management\/personal improvement<\/a> for individuals has been studied for more than a century. But it is only since the mid- 1980\u2019s that change management has been studied within the context of businesses and business applications.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s change management initiatives have become a business discipline and consulting industry on its own, with a view to improve not only bottom-line results through changes in systems and behaviours but also improve the workplace experience for employees.<\/p>\n

Managing change has therefore become a critical skill, both for management<\/a> and staff.<\/p>\n

Defining Your Strategy for Change<\/h3>\n

It is critical to manage change by creating and implementing a strategy that defines an approach consistent with the unique needs of the organisation. The strategy serves as the guiding framework, providing direction and shaping the decision making requirements throughout the change process.<\/p>\n

A simple way to gather data for the strategy is to set up interviews and ask questions regarding the different aspects of the change.<\/p>\n

Below are some typical questions:<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

Aspect<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Question<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The Situation<\/b><\/td>\nWhat is being changed?How much perceived need for the change exists?What groups will be impacted?How long will the change take?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
People and Their Roles<\/b><\/td>\nWho will serve as a high-level sponsor?What functional groups should be represented to lead the effort?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Issues for Analysis<\/b><\/td>\nWhat will happen if we do\/don\u2019t do this?How universal is the change?Are there exceptions or deviations to consider?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

From the answers to the questions, the change strategy document is created, serving as a \u201cblueprint\u201d for the initiative. A strategy document should discuss important components of the changes to be implemented.<\/p>\n

The strategy components are listed below:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Building the Change Management Team<\/h3>\n

To effectively implement a team positioned for success, leaders must select members who display a high degree of skill in six key elements:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Commitment<\/li>\n
  2. Contribution<\/li>\n
  3. Communication<\/li>\n
  4. Cooperation<\/li>\n
  5. Conflict management<\/li>\n
  6. Connection<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    The team<\/a> must represent all of the needed functional groups and roles necessary to manage the change initiative. By formalising the team and providing funding and other resources, it sends a message of accountability and responsibility, and illustrates the investment the organisation has made in the change.<\/p>\n
