Organizational Change Management
“The central issue is never strategy, structure, culture, or systems. The core of the matter is always about changing the behavior of people.”
John P. Kotter – 2013 “The Heart of Change: Real-Life Stories of How People Change Their Organizations”
Organizational Change Management (OCM) is a structured approach to dealing with the people side of change in an organization
Organizational Change Management is designed to:
Increase the success rate of change initiatives
Prepare people to modify their behavior and adopt a change
Minimize risks and barriers to adoption
Achieve business benefits through sustained adoption or helping employees accept the change
Build capacity for the organization to manage change and increase resilience
Allow people to participate and control what they can
Anticipate and plan for change to avoid being caught by surprise
Advising Leaders on Approach
One of the most useful places to start any deliberate change management effort is to clarify what’s changing when and who’s impacted how? This assessment will drive where the effort is needed to prepare, engage, and assist people through the natural cycle of change.
I help you understand whether your organization has the internal capabilities and resources to manage the change ahead, and suggest what is needed to successfully navigate the way forward.
