Why Change ManagementChange management is an emergent profession that no one set out to invent. It simply emerged because of needs. The rapidly changing demands on organizations in the latter part of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st placed a premium on effective organisational change management.
Success in delivering organisational change initiatives has been patchy at best, and research has begun to identify the range of factors that predispose an initiative to succeed. A need has become clear for people with a particular range of knowledge and competence to help organisations apply these insights effectively.

Change and Transition
Initially an “Engineering” approach to change was used i.e. we change a thing and people will start to use it. An example of this may be building a new bridge further up the river and demolishing the old one. People will have to start using the new bridge because, unless they want to swim, there is no alternative.
People are different and for some the engineering approach doesn't necessarily work. We need to engage with them, win hearts and minds and allow them time to make the transition.

At Project Results our observations of past approaches have been either "magic will happen" or single lone voices understanding the need for a structured and considered approach to change. Now we have a specific skill set which allows change to be carried out in a structured and considered manner and as a result better outcomes and higher benefits realisation.
The course is broad and covers a huge range of concepts. The following sections gives you a small snapshot of some of these concepts:
Dealing with Change
Elizabeth Kübler-Ross developed a model of how people deal with change and grief which is now expressed in the change curve:-
The key message for change management is people go through stages and need time. Change leaders acknowledge this and work with people wherever they are at.
Kotter - Eight Steps
The Eight Step model developed by John Kotter based upon his analysis of many change initiatives over a 15 year period.
A summary of what the 8 steps are about is:-
This is but a small overview of what is covered in this course. If you would like to know more please contact us for details.
- Establishing a sense of urgency is about creating climate where a majority of the employees and virtually all the top executives believe that change is absolutely essential.
- Creating the guiding coalition is about identifying and engaging an influential and diverse skillset to drive a change.
- Developing a vision and strategy is about describing the future in a way which people identify and engage with.
- Communicating the change vision is about using multi-channel/multi-approach to really get the message out there.
- Empowering employees for broad-based action is about engaging employees who feel they want to make a difference to make the change happen.
- Generating short-term wins is actively finding demonstrators of success and making them happen.
- Consolidating gains and producing more change is about sustaining and embedding change and continuing to drive forward.
- Anchoring new approaches in the culture is about visibly promoting and enhancing the new culture.
