Change has become part of our everyday business environment. To stay viable
in an ever-shifting economic climate, organizations must be able to react
quickly to change, while minimizing disruption and achieving intended
objectives.
One of the first steps on this journey is to evaluate your organization's
readiness for change -- a combination of willingness and ability to undertake
change.
Successful change management starts with an assessment of your organization's change readiness along three dimensions:
- Creating the Pull. Do key stakeholders understand the need and feel motivated to change?
- Supporting the People. Are organizational and stakeholder goals aligned to enable successful movement towards the change?
- Managing the Process. Can you leverage project and program management tools to plan, execute and monitor the change?
By assessing and understanding an organization's readiness for change, leaders can identify potential roadblocks, as well as strengths and best
practices.
