Execution, Speed, and Adaptability are Top CEO Concerns
Immediate Actions You Should Be Taking
As Agents of Change we are always seeking Sponsorship for our implementation efforts. Too often it seems we are simply “tilting at windmills”, fighting an unwinnable battle. Our Sponsor’s attention to implementation is easily diverted because of short attention spans, or by competing priorities, market shifts, succession issues, and organizational politics. However, the winds of change may have shifted in our favor, along with the frame of reference of our Sponsors.

Managing Resistance is a Core Competence
Organizations Must Manage, Not Just Cope
Whether a change is perceived as negative or positive, reluctance to change is inevitable. It’s not all bad -- take advantage of its good side. It’s helpful and necessary project feedback.

Best Practice Implementation Plans: Complimentary Webinar December 10
|
One leverage point that eludes many implementation teams is the establishment of a tight link between the traditional te.gif?i=120508134429) chnical project and the human side change plan. Often this link is nothing more than a communication plan masquerading as a change plan. It‘s doomed to failure. Sometimes it consists of a technical project plan and a change plan running simultaneously, though in parallel. Both plans are discussed at the weekly project meeting, though as different and unrelated agenda items. Indeed the technical plan is often perceived to be the “real work” and the change plan is “that soft human stuff.” The most effective link is when the plans are blended. The change plan is integrated as a set of deliverables in the technical plan. Moreover, a repeatable set of change steps are embedded in the achievement of all major technical milestones. The latter approach is rare.
Learn more about how to bring this “process improvement” to your initiatives by attending our Webinar on December 10.
