Change management is the application of a
structured process and set of tools for leading the people
side of change to achieve a desired outcome. And in
today’s fast-paced world, every organization can benefit
from a better way to manage change.
Leading corporations, governmental entities, institutions,
and non-profits are adopting change management as an
organizational and leadership competency, viewing it as a
competitive advantage in our ever-changing business
world. When change management is done well, people
feel engaged in the change process and work collectively
towards a common objective, realizing benefits, and
delivering results.
Yet it’s been almost 10 years since “Why Transformation
Efforts Fail” was published by Harvard Business School
professor and New York Times best-selling author, John
Kotter. And although his suggestions for how to
improve the odds have been widely accepted, the success rate
of major corporate change programs remains essentially
unchanged - it still hovers at 30%.
Change management increases the success of transformations
and project initiatives by applying a structured framework
of methods, tools, and processes managing the change from a
current state to a future state. This presentation
will focus on the top 7 change management strategies that
will transform your projects. These strategies and
tools have been proven and ‘stress’ tested across a variety
of projects to include (but not limited to):
