ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE READINESSAre your organization and employees “change ready”? Best practices in change management identify change characteristics and organizational attributes that assess your organization’s readiness for change. Each change in your organization is unique. Depending on the magnitude of your change activities, we assess your organization’s readiness for change and then assist you in developing a plan that prepares your organization and employees for the coming change minimizing the risk of project failure
CHANGE MANAGEMENT
Now that your organization is change ready, depending on the scope of your project initiative, LEEP will assist you in adopting an integrated change management framework. This framework converts your vision into a step-by-step action plan that will engage and empower your people, promote action and produce successful results.
Considerations as you begin the change process:
- Structural and technical changes alone will not result in effective and competitive organizations - the “human element” must be considered.
- Employees want answers to these fundamental questions: Why are we all here? What are we really trying to accomplish? Why does it matter? How can I make a difference? Can someone tell me when I am making a difference? What's in it for me?
- Experience shows people don’t always resist change, but they do resist having revolutionary changes imposed upon them. Many people fear losing control of their professional lives.
- A “one-size-fits-all” approach to change programs never works - different organizations and people respond and contribute to change differently.
- An effective organizational change program honors differences. It supports employees by providing specific steps, strategies, and management styles for mobilizing different groups of people.
