Leadership - Adoption - Behaviour - Sponsorship - Leadership Teams

During 2022 we will start to roll out our full pentalogy of change management gamification offerings to both clients and the public. We use gamification to support learning of the Leadership of Change skills and knowledge so your leadership teams and employees can learn, test and prepare for your organisational change. Change management gamification is an interactive and dynamic way for employees to learn change management skills and knowledge using game characteristics. Using gamification to learn change management is much more effective than learning from static PowerPoint slides. Change management knowledge is information acquired through sensory input, such as reading, watching, listening, etc. Change management skills refers to the ability to apply change management knowledge during change implementation.

Change Management Adoption: Achieving Employee Change Adoption in a major organisation change or transformation has mixed success, and the return on investment (ROI) benefits are not always realised. For change adoption to be successful, the leaders, sponsor and change team should support employees through the change transition by providing Awareness, Understanding, Involvement, Learning, and Motivation (AUILM) for the change.

a2B Change Management Framework (a2BCMF) - Step #3 Icon: Assess Previous Change
PFG Publishing
October 24, 2020

3rd Critical Organisational Change Implementation Step - Plan Phase

Assess Previous Change:
This step is about Assessing Previous Change to achieve future change management success. This involves analysing previous organisation change history to mitigate previous weaknesses and enhance future success.
“To achieve future organisational change management success, analyse previous change history to mitigate previous weakness and enhance future success”
Business Benefits:Assessing previous change history can provide data and insights as to what worked well, or not so well in the past. This can provide guidance for future change implementations in order to improve adoption and benefits realisation.

Business Objective: Lessons learned from previous change history can:
❖ Enhance Previous Change Success: Establish what worked well previously so it can be used to enhance future change implementation success.
❖ Mitigate Previous Change Weaknesses: Establish what did not work well so the same mistakes are not repeated, mitigating previous implementation change weaknesses.

a2B Change Management Framework (a2BCMF)
The a2B Change Management Framework (a2BCMF) is a structured and disciplined approach to support organisations, leadership teams and individuals going through a change, the transition from the current ‘a’ state to the improved future ‘B’ state. The a2BCMF has three phases and ten key process steps. Each phase provides change strategies, principles, analysis and tactics to move from one phase to the next.

The framework is based on over thirty years of international change experience and brings together leading practice in change, people and programme management. The structured programme approach, processes, techniques and tools focus on overcoming the failures of previous change by incorporating ten key steps and success elements for achieving organisational change. It supports strategic change implementation in terms of context, content and process. The framework is a comprehensive management model that allows executives, managers and change practitioners to successfully deliver and achieve organisational change. It requires a holistic approach and some steps can be performed simultaneously.

a2B Change Management Framework (a2BCMF) - Step #2 Icon: Secure Sponsorship and Resources
PFG Publishing
October 17, 2020

2nd Critical Organisational Change Implementation Step - Plan Phase

Secure Sponsorship and Resources:
Sponsorship: The sponsor is a senior executive who is responsible for delivering change success. They are accountable for the delivery of all ten-steps of the a2B Change Management Framework.
Resources: The sponsor will need the support of a competent and motivated change team, a supportive CEO, the organisation’s leadership team and change agents to help them implement the change.
“Without effective and proactive sponsorship, the change programme will eventually fail, the change will not be adopted by the employees or sustained, and it will not deliver the intended benefits”
Business Benefits: Sponsorship is the single most important factor in organisational change success. Without effective and proactive sponsorship, the organisation’s investment in its portfolio of change programme or projects will not provide a return on investment (ROI).

Business Objective: The sponsor and the change resources will work with the stakeholders through the a2BCMF to deliver the change benefits, ensuring both a ROI and the intended strategy are achieved.

a2B Change Management Framework (a2BCMF) - Step #1 Icon: Change Definition
PFG Publications
October 10, 2020

1st Critical Organisational Change Implementation Step - Plan Phase

Change Definition: The process of defining the change and aligning the programmes within the portfolio to the organisation’s strategy, ensuring it has a business case and resources to deliver business benefits.
“Unless the change programme is continually aligned to the organisation’s strategy and capacity it will not deliver speedy benefits or value to the organisation”
Business Benefits: Too many change programmes and transformations fail to deliver the business benefits and value on which they are justified. This step identifies the key foundations that need to be in place to deliver the benefits. This step ensures proper due diligence by assessing estimates of costs, benefits and risks, go/no go decision, etc.

Business Objective: To assess if the change is aligned with the organisation’s strategy, it should have a business case and resources to deliver value, clear stakeholder impacts, proper governance, a high-level timeline and milestones. An important deliverable that could differentiate this change programme from other projects will be benefits planning and tracking.

Change Management - Organisation Change Capacity and Workload
PFG Publishing
May 20, 2020

An organisation’s capacity can be defined as the organisation’s total ability to deliver normal day-to-day operations and change activities. If the organisation does not have change capacity it is unlikely the employees will be able to take on any extra workload. Getting this balance right can mean the difference between successfully delivering both, however the data from the change history assessment (CHA) constantly highlights this as a challenge. The feedback from employees is that their workload is not considered when the organisation is implementing change. Specific feedback indicates that workload is not taken into account when learning new software, technology, systems, methods or processes. This change overload not only causes workforce stress but also creates resistance to the change that would otherwise have been accepted.

Trusted Adviser: Change Management Leadership
PFG Publishing
February 09, 2020

One of the most important considerations for a change practitioner or a lean practitioner is that, without trust you will not achieve improvement or change through people. As a change improvement agent, you are selling a change to the organisation. The person you engage with will ask one key question when you introduce yourself, “can I trust you?” The Trust Equation provides a model to show the key elements of a change agent as a Trusted Adviser. The objective is to build trust by increasing credibility, reliability, intimacy and to lower self-orientation.

Employee Change Adoption - Aligning the Employee and Organisation
PFG Publishing
February 07, 2020

Achieving Employee Change Adoption in a major organisation change or transformation has mixed success and the ROI benefits are not always realised. The main objective of any change project is to deliver improved future performance by facilitating and enabling step improvement, from the current “a” state to the future improved “B” state. The improved future “B” state is about getting Change Adoption. It is about providing the employees with the new skills, behaviours and motivation so they are aligned with the organisation’s processes and systems. Leadership and sponsorship are key enablers to change success, articulating why the change is necessary and how it links to the strategy. Communication is one of the key levers to deliver successful Change Adoption, it is at the heart of successful change, it acts like the blood in our bodies, but instead of supplying vital oxygen and nutrients, communication supplies information and motivation that is imperative for successful change.

Change Management - Sponsorship is one of the Most Important Elements in any Change Journey
PFG Publishing
February 04, 2020

After delivering change, transformation, business and process improvement projects for over thirty years, it is difficult not to accept that one of the most important elements in change project success is effective and proactive sponsorship. In fact, without effective and proactive project sponsorship, the project will eventually fail. There are three key elements to support the project: ‘Say’, ‘Support’ and ‘Sustain’! Common sense is not always common, similarly effective and proactive sponsorship is not always applied, thus change does not always deliver the intended benefits.

“Sponsorship is the single most important factor in change success” ~ Peter F Gallagher

Change Leadership Definition
PFG Publishing
December 28, 2019

"Change leadership is about being a proactive growth mindset employee who has the knowledge, skills and ability to successfully transition an organisation from the current state ‘a’ to the future ‘B’ state, ensuring adoption and benefits realisation. This transition involves planning the change, executing the change so that the organisation and its employees sustain the change or transformation"

Business Improvement - Transforming Global HR Processes (Case Study)
PFG Publishing
August 21, 2019

The right employees are an organisation’s key asset and offer core competitive advantage. Treat them so and develop them, so they can aspire and with the right strategy and leadership you can become a global leader. Employees are the customer interface to deliver client value and nowhere is this more evident than in a global energy organisation with over 90,000 employees, based in over 90 difference countries. If the HR function can manage key employee life-cycle processes, to get the right people, with the right skills, into the right country, at the right time, this will impact project delivery and enhance client value. This is especially true if 7,500 of these employees are expatriate and they bring specialist knowledge and skills not yet developed within the country.
Lean business and process improvement was deployed globally across the organisation as an enabler, to improve wider organisation process waste removal, simplification and efficiency. The HR Executive deployed Lean to improve processes around the employee life-cycle, build process improvement capability and apply those skills in everyday work to create a culture of continuous improvement.

“The right employees are an organisations key asset and offer core competitive advantage. Treat them so and develop them, so they can aspire and with the right strategy and leadership you can become a global leader”

Change Management: Change Agents Enabling Change
LinkedIn
May 29, 2019

Change Agents can be an organised group, leaders or individuals that undertake the task of leading, communicating and facilitating change in an organisation. They are basically advocates for organisation change. They tend to embrace and lead change within the organisation, they are comfortable with it, see the positives and should be the organisation’s early enablers in developing capability and moving the organisation towards adoption and sustainable change.

Change Management - Achieving Benefits Realisation
PFG Publishing
September 28, 2018

Change disruption is the order of the day. Rapidly changing customer buying habits, access to new technology and social media are accelerating the way organisations need to adapt to change to remain competitive or even survive. Any organisation investing in improvements needs to ensure fast, effective and efficient benefits realisation to ensure positive business operating performance.

“Leadership see their role in a major organisational improvement and change starting with signing the finance approval and finishing with sending the briefing e-mail with an attached PowerPoint presentation. A while later they wonder where it all went wrong when there is no ROI”

Change Management Communication - Stakeholder Information Needs
PFG Publishing
September 28, 2018

Effective communication is at the heart of successful business change, creating awareness and understanding about the change. Change programmes must incorporate a clear approach to communication which is strongly linked to their engagement with stakeholders. A Communications Plan should be produced which shows how information will be distributed and received by all stakeholders involved in the change programme. It identifies the means, medium, messages and frequency of communication between different stakeholders. It is used to establish and manage on-going communications throughout a programme. It is important that the communication is proactive and consistent to reinforce key messages.

“Effective change communication is at the heart of successful change, it acts like the blood in our bodies, but instead of supplying vital oxygen and nutrients, communication supplies information and motivation to the impacted stakeholders”

Business Communication Delivering Organisational Value
PFG Publishing
August 19, 2018

Effective business communication is at the heart of successful organisations, it acts like the blood in our bodies, but instead of supplying vital oxygen and nutrients, communication supplies information and motivation. Everything you do in the workplace results from communication. Business Communication is fundamental within an organisation to bring about coordination between the leadership, managers, employees, teams and departments, allowing them to focus on their customers. Communication provides the feedback that enables a cycle of continuous improvement

“When I find business problems I find communication failure, when I find communication failure I find business problems” ~ Peter F Gallagher

Change Management - Fixed Verses Growth Mindset
LinkedIn
December 28, 2017

For the last few decades change management programmes have become a way of life for most organisations. Change disruption has become the order of the day and with the rapid introduction of newer technology the pace of change will increase. However, even with various approaches to driving change initiatives, we are constantly reminded that 70% of change or transformation programmes fail to provide the benefits initially defined. Some of the key challenges when implementing change are employee resistance and not learning or applying the new skills, as well as adopting the new behaviours. These traits can be described as aspects of a fixed mindset when change implementation really requires a growth mindset.

“Fixed mindset leaders will quickly contaminate an organisation by killing growth and creativity, as well as promoting incompetence based on their likeness. This cycle will be replicated unless shareholders intervene ruthlessly”

UK Productivity – Improvement Requires Behavioural Change
LinkedIn
November 28, 2017

Poor UK productivity has been in the news a lot recently and rightly so, it is a measure of a country’s GDP and it becomes more important as the UK exits the EU. Just as the UK needs to be more competitive, our productivity is only slightly higher than its pre-downturn peak in 2008/2009.

“Output per hour worked in the UK was 15.1% below the average for the rest of the G7 advanced economies in 2016; this compares with 15.5% in 2015*”

"If you do not change employee behaviour, you will not get organisational change or performance improvement"

Change Management: 5 Reasons to use a Structured Framework for Organisational Change
PFG Publishing
October 30, 2017

Change management is more complicated than simply improving systems, processes, introducing new technology or ensuring regulatory compliance. Without a structured approach, the change management focus can be limited to communication only, and the impact to employees, teams and the organisation is largely ignored. Good change management starts with the organisations strategy and vision and then looks at the employees, culture, previous change success, skills, behaviours, resistance, adoption and how to sustain the change. Structured change management is a holistic and structured approach for enabling and supporting employees through the change. It requires a programme approach with a framework, steps, tools, assessments, models, skills and principles to ensure effective organisational change and benefits realisation

Change Readiness Assessment (CRA) – Implementation Preparation
LinkedIn
August 30, 2017

The purpose of the change readiness step is to establish if the organisation is ready for the change. Having data and insights from readiness assessments or interviews can help to ensure the organisation and employees are prepared for the change. They can identify potential implementation gaps so that corrective actions and plans can be executed to close the gaps and improve change readiness.

Change Management - Previous History Will Impact Future Success
LinkedIn
January 10, 2017

A critical component for any CEO planning a new change is the application of change management, to move the organisation from the current state ‘a’ to the improved state ‘B’. Change management is the proven game changer which will enhance implementation of the new ways of working, behaviour and adoption of the change. The history of previous changes will greatly impact future change and the ability to delivery organisational value and sustainable change.

“ If an organisation has a history of change failure, future success will require a different approach”

Business Improvement - CEO using Business Improvement to deliver Organisation Strategy
LinkedIn
November 28, 2016

Today’s CEO’s are under pressure to use their leadership to build successful organisations that perform well in the market place and deliver shareholder value. Customers demand more value and quality products delivered on time and, when things go wrong, prompt customer service. For the CEO to deliver customer expectations, their organisation should be agile, cost effective and have efficient processes, staffed with competent and capable employees. This should constantly be improved within the organisation. The CEO needs solutions that allow them to meet the global challenges they face with competitors only too willing to poach customers. A mistake that often happens is to focus on business improvement tools, without first getting the strategy right. First, the priority is to perform strategy planning processes to define the mission, values, vision, strategy and Balanced Scorecard, followed by employee goals.

Change Management - Enabling Step Improvement through Structured Delivery
LinkedIn
October 21, 2016

Post Britex: In the coming months the competitive landscape for UK organisations will look and feel very different. Essentially the need for UK business organisations to become more competitive, provide faster value delivery, increase productivity, better customer focus, improved business agility and performance will never have been greater. Organisations will have to get more for less and adopt to the new Britex business environment. This requires Business Improvement across the organisation’s value chain, improving employee capability, business processes, systems and services.

Change Management Fables:
Ten fables about the leadership paradox of implementing organisational change management versus delivering normal day-to-day operations, structured on the a2B Change Management Framework.

About this Book:
Leaders go about their daily task of implementing the organisation’s strategy to deliver financial results. All of a sudden there is a change explosion that disrupts normal day-to-day operations. This is the leadership paradox: implementing change versus delivering day-to-day operations. Leaders then need to adjust their focus to implement the change, so that the organisation stays ahead of the competition and continues to deliver revenue to its shareholders. That means the change has to ensure a return on investment, full employee change adoption, and sustainable change.
Leadership of Change Volume 1 represents the author’s experiences throughout his career, it provides ten practical stories of typical and consistent change management challenges that organisations and leaders experience when implementing organisation change, transitioning their organisation from the current ‘a’ state to the future ‘B’ state. Potential solutions are introduced which are developed in subsequent volumes. This book includes illustrations as well as the a2B Change Management Framework (a2BCMF), the AUILM Employee Change Adoption Model and the a2B5R Employee Behaviour Change Model.

Change Management Handbook 3.3.3 The Importance of Assessing Previous Change
PFG Publishing - The Leadership of Change Volume 3
August 04, 2019

The change history assessment (CHA) can be used to review the outcomes of previous change programmes and initiatives. It provides organisational insights that may increase the likelihood of successful implementation through the analysis of lessons learned, mitigating previous weaknesses and enhancing future success. Many large organisations use change impact and readiness assessments to establish organisational insights prior to change implementation. The CHA provides a diagnostic analysis of previous change programmes to establish root causes (Ishikawa, 1990) that may have prevented a change from being more successful. The objective is to develop improved change management implementation plans using real data that will enhance future change success. This data driven approach can be used to establish internal organisational change management leading practices for future programmes. Previous change programmes can leave a lasting negative or positive effect, and it is important to learn from them by performing structured analysis.

3.3.4 Change and Learning Organisations
Central to the CHA is organisational learning (Senge, 19901). According to Senge, learning organisations are “where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free, and where people are continually learning to see the whole together.” Organisational learning is an ongoing process which produces everlasting change. Organisational change is likely to be easier to implement into an organisation that understands the need for the change. Having employees with a growth mindset further improves the chances of successful change. The growth and fixed mindset concepts are developed further in Section 3.7.10.

3.3.5 Change History Assessment - Elements
After having worked on change, transformation and improvement programmes over the last thirty years, it is easy to see consistent factors arising. The Leadership of Change has defined ten key elements of the change history assessment (CHA). They are based on reviewing previous organisational change implementations, interviews with employees and lessons learned reviews. The recurrence of these factors may vary from organisation to organisation at any point in time, but they are data points that consistently surface when assessing the success of previous change implementations. The ten elements are listed in Figure 3.3.2.

Change History Assessment (CHA)
SlideShare
June 15, 2017

The Change History Assessment (CHA) is used by change teams to review the outcomes of previous change programmes within their organisation. It provides organisational insights that can increase the likelihood of successful implementation through the analysis of lessons learned, mitigating previous weaknesses and enhancing future success. It is important to learn from previous change by performing structured analysis to identify negative issues and to avoid repeating them on the next change. The insights from the CHA will help to shape the change approach, planning and the resistance strategy.

“To achieve future organisational change management success, analyse previous change history to mitigate previous weakness and enhance future success” ~ Peter F Gallagher

Previous Change Previous History will Impact Future Success. The CHA is executed during Step 2 of the a2B Change Management Framework (a2BCMF).

Leadership of Change: Three Change Management Lessons Learned
Scottish Programme and Project Group (SPPMG)
April 04, 2019

Heriot Watt University, Riccarton Campus, Edinburgh, UK
Scottish Programme and Project Group (SPPMG) - Annual Conference
Project management is the practice of initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing the work of a team to achieve identified goals and meet specific success criteria at the agreed time.
When an organisation introduces a new project or programme this usually impacts their employees. Change management is the process, techniques and tools to support organisations, leadership teams and individuals going through a change transition from the current state ‘a’ to the future state ‘B’.
Many programme or project implementations do not realise their intended benefits, and integrated project and change management can improve adoption and the ROI.
This session will discuss ‘Three Change Management Lessons Learned’

Leadership of Change: 10 Change Management Lessons Learned
PFG Speaks
June 21, 2018

On 21st June, Edinburgh will play host to Scotland’s DIGIT Leaders IT Summit, bringing senior technologists from across Scotland together for knowledge exchange, discussion and networking.

IT is evolving: the role of Information Technology within the organisation has fundamentally changed, drawn from a background support function into a crucial centre of innovation, value creation and competitive edge. More than ever before, the success and failure of the organisation is being defined by its technological ability.

IT Project Overspend - 10 Change Management Lessons Learned
Too many change/IT programme and project implementations do not realise the benefits or achieve a ROI. Implementations tend to overspend on IT software, mainly due to late delivery, bugs, unforeseen complexity and as a result communication, change management and training budgets are usual reduced impacting overall implementation success. Peter talks about 10 change management lessons learned which include:
 Many IT project implementations do not realise their intended benefits
 IT budgets tend to overspend, reducing change, communication and training budgets
 Align the project with strategy and dropping less important projects
 The importance of sponsorship and what it means to the leadership team
 Assessing previous change history to avoid past mistakes
 Developing the new skills and behaviours to achieve change adoption is critical

Change Management & Gamification

Panel Speakers: Dwani Shah, Prajvala Reddy and Peter F Gallagher with an audience mainly from India.

“Disruption is the new constant”
Organisations have to evolve to grow, thrive and succeed. The evolution of culture is directly tied to the evolution of people, the evolution of objectives and the evolution of processes. Change management, hence, is a vital practice in the overall journey of an organisation’s success. Like all things in life, it also has to adapt to change.

Resignation vs Re-emergence Round Table Discussion - ACMP East Coast Australia Chapter
ACMP East Coast Australia Chapter
February 16, 2022

Wednesday 16 February 6.00pm to 7.30pm (AEDT)

About the Webinar:
The pressure to change has been building across organisations well before the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Today we face a world of heightened connectivity, lower transactional costs, unprecedented advances in automation, and an increasing use of artificial intelligence and data analytics to drive performance and decision-making.

Results indicate that business disruption is in fact increasing, automation is undercutting mechanistic thinking, and the barriers to enter markets are evaporating. The workforce has very different career aspirations, expecting and demanding greater learning and career opportunities.

But whilst technology is converging, our organisations and job design remain ‘unconverged’ and 85% of people are still disengaged at work. Covid got people out of the building long enough for many to take stock of what was important to them now and to start ‘re-imagining’ what work needs to look like for them in the future.

Our a2B AUILM Model is an employee adoption target change management model to guide employees and the organisation through our 10 – a2B Step Change Management Framework.

The a2B AUILM Model helps teams driving change to understand how employees might react during a change transition which they may perceive as a threat to them. Although individual employees will react to change differently, the model highlights some personal emotions each may be feeling. It provides a perspective on why there might be resistance, as well as options the change team could use to counter resistance along the change transition journey.

Quote on Change Adoption

Peter F Gallagher, the #1 Change Management Global Thought Leader 2021 and 2020, as ranked by Thinkers360, said:

"For change adoption to be successful, support the employees through the change transition by providing awareness, understanding, involvement, learning, and motivation to achieve sustainable change and benefit realisation. Organisational change adoption must be made easier than keeping the old ways."
If you are looking for useful advice and efficient methodologies which are adopted by world leaders, Peter has written helpful books on change management. You can also find tips on his website.

Leadership of Change - ASQ Lean Six Sigma Conference 2020 - Phoenix, AZ.

March 03, 2020

23 - 25 February 2020, I visited the US and spoke about the Leadership of Change at the American Society for Quality (ASQ) Lean and Six Sigma world summit at the stunning Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort in Phoenix, Arizona. I presented the "Leadership of Change - 10 Change Management Lessons Learned" with special insights on change leadership alignment.

One of the focus areas of the conference was “Embracing Change.” In today’s ever-changing landscape of disruption and transformation, organisations must continually evaluate and challenge past practices to optimise excellence and growth. With this in mind, I discussed the change explosion that hits the leaders of organisations and how they have to balance their business focus. This focus cannot just be on normal day-to-day operations, but they will also have to lead and sponsor their organisation’s critical change as part of living during 4IR. I also discussed how we use change management gamification as part of experiential learning about change management.The objectives are to equip the leadership team with the knowledge, experience and skills to lead their change, improvement or transformation programmes.

Vistage Group V0058 Belfast
Workshop – May 24 2018

Outline:

Change disruption has become the order of the day, making it critical for organisations to have change management capability.

Change management can be the proven game changer to improve capital and operating performance, ensuring sustainable organisational cultural change.

Key Topics and Points Covered:

What is change management?
Key change management elements:
Sponsorship
Previous change history
Change resistance
Key lessons learned from change implementation
Objectives:

To demonstrate to business leaders the importance of using change management to achieve change adoption to implement improvements, create the new behaviours and accelerate improved business results.

Value and Take Away:

Understanding of organisation change management implementation
Understanding of the three key change management elements
Insights into change management lessons learned and how to avoid them

"Nothing negatively impacts organisation performance quicker than an employee who resists change and who believes that the way they work today is the way they will work tomorrow”

a2B5R Model: Employee Behavioural Change
One of the most challenging aspects of any change programme is the way in which the employee aspects are addressed. Changing employee's behaviour and improving their performance is a critical part of the change management process. Our a2B5R Model systematically supports the transition of the employee behavioural change from the current state 'a' to the future state 'B'. The model specifically supports the a2BCMF – Step 8 – Develop New Skills and Behaviours. During the definition step the few new critical behaviours will have been defined and they will be developed along with the new skills.

Business Transformation Journeys - Peter F Gallagher
YouTube
November 16, 2020

Tony Lockwood is delighted to be joined on today's show by Peter F Gallagher - a Change Management Global Thought Leader, International Corporate Conference Speaker, Author and Leadership Alignment Coach. Peter connects with Tony on the virtual sofa and shares his experience of delivering transformational change in challenging environments.

Some of the subjects that were discussed:
* Internal verses external Big Four consultant and the importance of trust
* You can’t do 10 or 20 transformations programmes and deliver normal day-to-day operations
* The importance of change leadership alignment
* The employee Behaviour Change challenge
* Treating employees with respect during a change journey - future ambassadors of the organisation
* My four-legged stool
* ‘Tell’ verses ‘Sell’ change implementation
* Change management gamification

Change Management Gamification CMExec - Virtual Demo Version
YouTube
July 10, 2020

About Change Management Gamification CMExec:
CMExec is a fascinating change management implementation simulation that offers leadership teams and leaders of change experiential learning in a safe environment. This enables them to learn, test and reflect on their change leadership capability and skills.

Game Formats: CMExec can be played face-to-face in a workshop setting or online using the gaming platform. The virtual online version can be played as an individual, players verses players or team mode. The face-to-face version is played using on physical boards positioned on each teams table with a central team progress board positioned centrally in the room.

Case Study:
AutoChanze is a global supplier of automotive systems, modules, and components to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and related aftermarkets. Up until recently they have been a successful and profitable organisation but a recent report commissioned by the Board of Directors has indicated the the automotive industry will be impacted by 4IR like never before!

Gamification Objective:
During the simulation the change leaders (in their teams) will focus on how they can achieve the balance between normal day-to-day operations and delivering successful change and employee adoption of a new IT system. They will assess, select and implement their chosen change tactics through three simulation change phases: Plan, Execute and Sustain. They will be scored on how successful their tactics were in implementing successful change.

Leading Change Practice:
The gamification uses the globally recognised a2B Change Management Framework, Models and Tools.

Outcome:
The participants will be equipped with knowledge, experience, a Change Management Framework, Models and Tools which will enable them to be successful as leaders in delivering organisational change and transformations. They will become more aware of how to manage stakeholder resistance, expectations and feelings as they try to achieve their organisation's vision and employee change adoption.

The Leadership of Change: Three Change Management Lessons Learned - Heriot-Watt University - Edinburg
YouTube
April 06, 2019

Scottish Programme and Project Management Group (SPPMG) - Heriot-Watt University - Edinburgh

Extract from Keynote Presentation: Project management is the practice of initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing the work of a team to achieve identified goals and meet specific success criteria at the agreed time.
When an organisation introduces a new project or programme this usually impacts their employees. Change management is the process, techniques and tools to support organisations, leadership teams and individuals going through a change transition from the current state ‘a’ to the future state ‘B’.
Many programme or project implementations do not realise their intended benefits, and integrated project and change management can improve adoption and the ROI.
This session will discuss ‘Three Change Management Lessons Learned’

Change Management - Employee Change Resistance (Keynote extract)
YouTube
November 15, 2018

Most organisatons will encounter resistance to change, whether the change is perceived by employees as impacting them in a positive or negative way. Resistance can take many forms, it can be overt or covert, as well as active or passive. Organisational leaders cannot control the world changing around them, but they should try to understand employee groups within a change and move them quickly towards understanding resistance and acceptance of the change.
Employee Groups involved in a Change Journey
There are three groups of employees in any change management journey: ‘Advocates’, ‘Observers’ and ‘Rebels’. Each group will react differently to organisational change and will have different levels of resistance.
~ Advocates: They tend to embrace and lead change within the organisation.
~ Observers: They will monitor the ‘Advocates’ and assess if the change is actually benefiting them.
~ Rebels: They tend to resist change blindly, even if the change is to their benefit.

“Nothing negatively impacts organisation performance quicker than employees who resist change and who believe that the way they work today is the way they will work tomorrow” ~ Peter F Gallagher

Successful change implementation is one of the biggest problems that modern organisations face. There is a big difference in leading normal-day-to-day operations and leading organisational change. Both require a different set of skills and very often leaders are not set-up to lead organisational change, transformation or improvement.

When
Thursday, 21 May 2020 09:00 AM - 09:45 AM (GMT-4:00) 2:00 PM Europe/London.

~ 10 key lessons learned from change management implementation

White Paper to support Speaking Keynote: IT Project Overspend - 10 Change Management Lessons Learned
DIGIT Leader Summit 2018 - Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh
A critical component for any IT leader when introducing new information technology is getting organisation change adoption, ROI and that competitive edge defined in the strategy. The implementation of the new technology could be the core differentiator in a competitive market and the application of change management is the proven game changer in making this possible. Change management will support the organisation, its employee and leaders to move from the current state ‘a’ to the improved state ‘B’. It can enable and enhance implementation of the new ways of working, behaviour and adoption of the change. The assessment of previous change history can greatly provide insights on how to drive future organisational change, deliver benefits and sustainable change.

Business Improvement and Behaviour Change
14th Jan 2004

Organisational change management, transformations and improvements have become permanent features of the business landscape. Until recently, an organisational leader or manager could just focus on normal day-to-day operations, handing off change management and implementation responsibilities to other people.

Corporate thinking about change management has evolved in recent years and it is considered as a core competence by some leading organisations. Varying degrees of change capability, low employee adoption, lack of sustainability and low benefits realisation have become the drivers to develop corporate change capability. There is now a recognition that delivering each change programme or project using the same change methodology and approach is less confusing and more effective for the organisation. An even more effective and efficient way is to have a single approach to change using a corporate change management framework, models, processes, tools and techniques.

Organisation Change Leadership Standpoints
Thinkers360
June 07, 2022

Does your sponsor and change team intervene to ensure all the organisation's leaders are effective and proactive?

Leadership involvement in organisation change or transformation can be measured on a spectrum from energised and passionate involvement through to abdication. Three typical standpoints are: 

 

Effective and Proactive

• Articulating a compelling change vision that inspire employees
• Modelling the new way of working and behaving
• Intervening respectfully to ensure sustainable change

“Organisational change leadership is about effectively and proactively articulating the vision, modelling the new way and intervening to ensure sustainable change”

 

Indifferent Delegator

• Delegates change leadership responsibility to a direct report
• Appears to be supporting the change programme
• Remains fully focused on normal day-to-day operations

“The change leader cannot be indifferent delegator, they can delegate authority, but they cannot delegate responsibility, if they do, change implementation will fail”

 

Silo Focused

• More loyalty to a specific group/department
• Does not share critical resources with the change team
• Lost sight of the overarching goal of organisational success

“Change implementation cannot afford the luxury of organisation silos, the leaders that create them or the behaviour that tolerates them”

Unfortunately, only one standpoint ensures change implementation success, maximises employee adoption, provides the targeted return on investment (ROI), benefits realisation and sustainable change. 

“Successful change needs effective and proactive change leadership, leaders who are indifferent delegators or silo focused must be aligned or change implementation will fail”

Change Management Leveraging Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I)
Thinkers360
May 30, 2022

"Who we are born as is an accident of time and we are all different, but the important elements of our journey in life are diversity, equity, and inclusiveness"

John Hume, winner of the Noble Peace prize said, “Difference is the essence of humanity. Difference is an accident of birth, and it should therefore never be the source of hatred or conflict. Therein lies a most fundamental principle of peace: respect for diversity.” While John was speaking during a time of deep civil trouble, he recognised the importance of people’s differences. Without diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace, there may not be a sense of belonging, work life can be very challenging and lead to stress, dissonance, and higher staff attrition rates.

• Diversity: The range of people in your workforce, it refers to anything that sets one individual apart from another. This means having employees with different nationalities, cultures, socioeconomic status, ages, religions, sex and sexual orientation, political perspective, people with disabilities, etc.
• Equity: Providing support based on an employee’s specific needs, promoting justice, impartiality, and fairness, as well as reducing disparity.
• Inclusion: An inclusive workplace means that employees feel valued at work, they can participate and contribute value. An inclusive work environment should lower the risk of negative behaviour, bullying, harassment and discrimination. More importantly, individuals or groups do not feel excluded based on their identity and will be given the same resources or opportunities.

As leaders of change we must put people first and our objective is to provide employees with a positive change transition experience. Not only does a DEI organisation drive better business results, but they are also more innovative. They help attract better and more talented employees, improving brand reputation. A DEI environment can be a great foundation for successful change implementation.

• Diversity Helps Change: Diverse views, perspectives, open and honest discussion, where everyone can contribute, leads to better change solutions and acceptance.
• Equity Helps Change: Shaping and implementing a change that has equity considerations, that does not disadvantage any individual or group, will make it more palatable to the employees.
• Inclusion Helps Change: Employees will feel engaged and more willing to become involved in the change design and implementation. They will feel that they are able to ask questions that might otherwise develop as resistance, questions that provide invaluable feedback and even improve the change approach.

Creating and ensuring there is a DEI working environment will become something organisations and leaders cannot ignore. Millennials, and those that were part of the great resignation, want purpose and will demand it. A DEI work environment is a lever to enable successful change management, with less time wasted on resistance, fewer cases of employee stress or associated mental health problems, higher adoption rates, high investment returns and the improvement of change and transformation success statistics.

Enabling Change Management

Organisations and leaders who believe in DEI will be focused on ensuring the employee’s change transition experience is positive and enhanced as much as possible. Change Management Leadership’s first responsibility is to ‘Articulatethe Change Vision’. The leadership who should develop a compelling change vision that inspires employees with purpose and is aligned to the organisation’s strategy, values and beliefs. Now more than ever that vision needs to inspire the employee with purpose, because we now live in a world where what an organisation is, what it does and how much money it makes is under significant scrutiny, especially on social media. Millennials, if not already, will make up the majority of the workforce and they advocate that the primary purpose of organisations should be to improve society instead of generating profit. Their attitude to work is also changing. It is moving from “I work to buy stuff that makes me happy” to “I work to make me happy”. They are attracted to working for purpose-led organisations and the change that organisation wants to implement. This is where the working talent will be in the future. The great resignation that occurred during the covid pandemic has amplified how people think about work. The pandemic gave employees time and space to reflect on both their personal and professional lives While there are many reasons employees looked for a new job the recurring themes were work life balance, high levels of innovation, wanting to work from home, not being recognised, a toxic work culture, better options elsewhere.

"Diversity, equity, and inclusiveness (DE&I) is a human right. It should not exclude any group or individual and it should definitely not be used as a weapon to promote the objectives of any party that could be perceived as counterproductive”

Incremental Change Versus Transformation
Thinkers360
May 11, 2022

“An organisation’s ability to survive is determined by its capability to implement incremental change or to transform”

 

Winston Churchill is credited for the quotation, “to change is to improve, to improve often is to perfect.” An organisation’s ability to survive is determined by its capability to implement incremental change or to transform. The terms ‘change’ and ‘transformation’ are used interchangeably, and although both are about improving an organisation’s performance, they differ in terms of complexity and effort.

The Leadership of Change^® defines that an organisation can improve performance in one of two ways:

• Incremental Change: Small strategic improvements or adjustments that will improve organisational performance but will not alter the organisation’s core.
• Transformation: Fundamental change which takes the organisation in a different direction. This could alter the structure, processes, systems, culture or strategy to improve long-term performance or market position. Transformations are usually driven by the C-Suite as they could include a change to the operating model which would fundamentally alter the way an organisation operates.

It should be noted that these definitions will vary from organisation to organisation, as will the reasons for incremental change or transformation. However, for strategy execution to be successful, both incremental change and transformations will require change management support in terms of a change framework, models, processes and tools, including internal capability. These two change types are developed further below:

Incremental Change

Small strategic improvements or adjustments might include:

• Continuous or business improvement initiatives to make incremental improvements to manufacturing processes.
• Implementation of new computer systems to increase efficiencies.
• Reorganisation of a department to reduce the head count.
• Outsourcing the marketing department because it is no longer considered a strategic core capability.

Transformation

Fundamental changes to the organisation might include:

• Digital transformationto integrate digital technology across the organisation.
• The addition or removal of a product or service within the market.
• Altering the distribution model, for example, a manufacturer starts to sell to the customers directly using e-commerce channels.
• A shift in the business culture of an organisation.
• Making the organisation more future proof to align with technology, competition, consumer trends, etc.

“Any organisation or leader who thinks they can implement a high number of major transformation programme simultaneously probably does not understand the organisation’s capacity for change or their employee’s workload”

Other Considerations:

Organisation Change Capacity: An organisation only has so much capacity for change while normal day-to-day operations continue. Pushing too much change into the organisation will limit successful implementation. It could also put extra workload on the employees who may then resist the change or be unable to adopt the new way of working. There are typically four key organisational capacity components; normal day-to-day operations, unplanned work or rework, mandatory change capacity and finally strategic change capacity. A key question for organisation and leaders when implementing change is, ‘How much capacity for strategic change do we really have?’

Employee Workload:

Workload and organisational change capacity should be a key consideration when changing technology, systems, or processes. If new and additional work is created by the change, then leaders need to remove some of employee’s original workload to enable them to have enough capacity for new activities. Employees who complete our change history assessment^© (CHA^©) consistently score ‘workload’ very low, indicating that the organisation does not consider their workload when implementing change.

 

“Organisation change capacity and employee workload are ignored in change implementation, until they become the reason for failure”

Sponsorship Is the Single Most Important Factor in Change Success
Thinkers360
April 26, 2022

Without effective and proactive sponsorship the change project will eventually fail, the change will not be adopted by the employees nor be sustained, and it will not deliver the intended benefits

Well over a decade ago while delivering change, transformation, and improvement programmes I analysed why important strategic initiatives were not as successful as they should have been. Even if these initiatives were critical to the organisation’s success and competitive advantage, they were not fully implemented to provide sustainable change, benefits realisation, and employee adoption. In my early career, I thought that as long as I was leading a good team and the initiative was important to the organisation, then I would not need the support of a sponsor and the leadership. Let me use the three-legged stool metaphor: leg 1 - the team and I, leg 2 - the important critical initiative to the organisation, and leg 3 - the sponsors and leadership team. I used to think if I had a good team, a good project plan, engaged the stakeholders tenaciously and the initiative was important then, with the right effort, strategic execution would naturally happen. A three-leg stool will not wobble but remove one of the legs and you will balance for a while but eventually the stool will fall over. Similar to leg 3 on the stool, without effective and proactive sponsorship the change project will eventually fail, the change will not be adopted by the employees nor be sustained, and it will not deliver the intended benefits.

The change sponsor performs three critical Leadership of Change^® responsibilities to enable change projects to be successful. These three critical responsibilities are: Say, Support and Sustain to ensure sustainable change. These responsibilities are further broken down into sub tasks and activities.

 

Responsibility 1: Say - Communicate the Change.

Say is the foundation of change sponsorship, the change sponsor should articulate the strategy, be the face of the change and communicate constantly

The first responsibility for the sponsor in implementing their organisation’s change is to ‘Say - communicate the change’. Say is the foundation of change sponsorship, and the sponsor should articulate the change strategy, be the face of the change and communicate the change constantly. This first change sponsorship responsibility is about communicating the change programme to the impacted stakeholders, explaining the business case for change and outlining the benefits for the organisation and employees, if the change programme is to be successfully delivered.

 

Responsibility 2: Support - Provide Resources, Engage and Coach.

Support is about change execution, the change sponsor should provide quality resources, engage and coach the organisation

The second main responsibility for the sponsor in implementing their organisation’s change is to ‘Support - Provide Resources, Engage and Coach’. Support builds on the previous responsibility, Sayfrom the Plan phase. The focus is now on the Execute phase and in implementing the change. The sponsor will be responsible for providing competent resources to the change programme, engaging the impacted stakeholders across the organisation and coaching the organisation and employees through the change, ensuring they are ready to adopt the new way of working. 

 

Responsibility 3 Sustain - Intervene, Reward, and Embed.

Sustain is the final critical change sponsorship responsibility, the change sponsor should intervene to ensure adoption, reward positive behaviour and embed the new way

It is always impressive when the sponsor gets to this stage in a change programme. The sponsor will have successfully completed their first two responsibilities, Say - communicate the change, and Support - provide resources, engage and coach. The final responsibility for the sponsor in fully implementing their organisation’s change is Sustain - reward, intervene and embed. While the change team and leaders may be feeling some change fatigue, this responsibility must be completed fully and with diligence. The leadership team must therefore support the sponsor to effectively and proactively intervene to ensure sustainable change.

Stakeholder Engagement and Communication Using the a2B Change Management Roadmap
Thinkers360
April 03, 2022

“A change management roadmap can be a powerful tool to engage and communicate the high-level change strategy, objectives, risks, benefits, milestones and their deliverables, as well as interdependencies with the impacted stakeholders”

The change roadmap is a graphical time order representation of the programme’s intended direction and a set of documented success criteria for each of the scheduled events. It should depict the relationship between programme activities and expected benefits. It should outline the key dependencies between major milestones and communicate the linkage between the business strategy and the key activities of the change approach. It depicts the ten a2BCMF^® steps and presents other information such as the:

• Strategy Statement.
• Change Objectives.
• Challenges or Risk
• Programme Infrastructure.

 

The roadmap should be used as soon as it is approved, and when engaging the various stakeholder groups. When used in conjunction with the elevator speech, it becomes a powerful tool to gain buy-in and support for the change programme, while simultaneously reducing resistance of those impacted by the change. 

Benefits: The roadmap will help to quickly communicate the high-level change plan, benefits and goals, manage stakeholder expectations and generate a shared understanding across the teams involved. It provides valuable input to help develop the detailed change and communication plans.

Change Roadmap - Insights:

• The roadmapappeals to all stakeholders as it provides a quick visual display of the change programme and helps gain change support.
• The roadmapshould be updated regularly throughout the change programme, and openly displayed and shared with all stakeholders.

“There can be no substitute for the detailed programme change plan (PCP). The change roadmap and communication plan are helpful and aligned to the PCP, but they are only supplementary”

Change Management Initiative -Business Case Importance
Thinkers360
March 16, 2022

“It is always worth checking that the change programme is not a pet project caused by the hunch and launch syndrome, without strategic consideration or a plan on how the benefits will be realised”

The business case provides the commercial reasons for starting the change programme, as well as justifying the investment of the organisation’s resources, time and effort before starting. It is developed to assess the change programme’s balance between costs and benefits. The business case could either be basic and high-level, or detailed and comprehensive. The business case includes key parameters used to assess the objectives and constraints for the intended change programme. The business case may include details about problems or opportunities; business and operational impacts; cost benefit analysis; alternative solutions; and risks. The business case establishes the authority, intent and philosophy of the business need. It also serves as a formal declaration of the value that the programme is expected to deliver and a justification for the resources that will be expended to deliver it. The four typical components of the business case are:

• Cost Benefit Analysis: A technique used to compare the total costs of the change programme against its benefits, using common metrics (monetary units, market share, etc.). Change programme decisions are based on whether there is a net benefit or cost to the approach, i.e. total benefits minus total costs.
• Alternative Solutions: Assessing other possible courses of action, solutions or change programmes. It is about asking an independent and challenging question, ‘Are there alternatives and have they been investigated?’
• Risks: The probability of occurrence of a specific event that affects the pursuit of change objectives. Risks are not negative by definition. Risks are potential external events that could have a negative impact (although not always) on the change programme if they occur. Riskalso refers to the combined likelihood of the event occurring and the impact on the change programme if the event does occur.
• Business and Operational Impacts: This relates back to organisational change capacity. The analysis of business and operational impacts could provide invaluable insights to the sponsor and change team. It is about performing a systematic process to determine and evaluate the potential impacts on normal day-to-day operations.

The business case may contain other relevant documents such as the programme charter, but this varies from organisation to organisation. The programme charter is a short document formally issued by the organisation which describes the change programme in its entirety. It provides the programme sponsor with the authority to apply organisational resources, it will also contain the objectives and constraints, solution direction, identified stakeholders, risks, statements about scope, etc.

“Unless the change initiative is continually aligned to the organisation’s strategy it will not deliver benefits or value to the organisation”

Employee Change Adoption - Aligning Processes, Systems and Leadership
Thinkers360
March 09, 2022

Employee change adoption is fundamental to successful organisational change. It is about facilitating and enabling the smooth transition of the organisation and employees from the current state ‘a’ to the future improved state ‘B’. Without full employee adoption of the new technology or new way of working, the organisation is unlikely to improve operating performance, achieve the targeted benefits or return on investment (ROI). The organisation’s investment will be lost, as will customers who expect continually improving products and services.

Organisational alignment is critical and can be defined as the extent to which employees, processes and systems are coordinated and focused on a common vision. The leadership team and every employee can then effectively pursue the organisation’s strategic objectives. Alignment is the key to any successful organisation during normal day-to-day operations. It is also extremely important when implementing change, especially when there is a focus on either employee change adoption or behaviour change.

Organisational change alignment starts with a compelling change vision that inspires employees and gives them purpose. It is supported by the organisation’s strategy, values and beliefs. The development of this vision relies on effective and proactive change leadership and as the change vision is articulated by the leaders, then organisational change implementation can commence. Successful change requires the alignment of employees, processes and systems, directed by the leadership (EPSL) and supported by the change team. The key elements that need to be aligned are:

• Employees: Individuals hired by an employer to perform a specific role that adds value to the organisation.
• Processes: A system of activities by which a business creates a specific result for its customers. These are the foundation of how the organisation operates.
• Systems: A set of interconnected devices that provide outputs. They execute and control the internal processes and procedures that deliver the organisation’s products or services.
• Leadership: Individuals leading the organisation who are collectively responsible for strategy execution and its inherent change programmes.

These four elements will be needed to transition the organisation from the current ‘a’ state at the start of the change through to the future ‘B’ state. Change implementation will be successful when the employees adopt the change and when the organisation can sustain and close the change programme. Some of the practical benefits of achieving organisation change alignment are:

• Increased speed of change implementation.
• Improved employee engagement and higher adoption rates.
• More effective use of organisational resources.
• Increased leadership credibility and respect.
• Increased customer satisfaction through higher quality products and services.

Change Leadership: Traits to Model the New Way
Thinkers360
February 22, 2022

“Modelling the new way is the one key task leaders of change do not need props for, nor should they delegate this to others”

Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” This is also very true in organisational change. Leaders need to model the new way, especially the new skills and behaviours. Just as a model can inspire us to dress or look a certain way, a leader of change can inspire their employees to imitate their good behaviour. The leaders of the organisation have to be someone the employees look up to and want to emulate during change implementation. Employees will listen to what leaders say and do. They will always be looking for alignment or gaps. If there is alignment, employees will gravitate towards the leader and copy their behaviour.

Modelling the new way is one of the key tasks leaders of change do not need props for, nor can they delegate this to others. There are three key traits required for modelling the new way:

Change Leadership Capability

Lead with Integrity

Benevolence

Change Leadership Capability: The skills required for leading day-to-day operations are very different to leading change. Organisations invest huge amounts of capital on a change, transformation or improvement initiative and then ask their leaders to lead the implementation without providing any change capability. Change Leadership Capability includes:

• Change Leadership Alignment: The change leadership alignment process is fundamental for leaders to model the new way. This process creates the leader’s change vision, aligns them on their strategic objectives and develops a high performing team, as well as change skills and knowledge.
• Change Knowledge: Change management knowledge is information acquired through sensory input, such as reading, watching, listening, etc.
• Change Skills: Change management skills refers to the ability to apply change management knowledge during change implementation. It is best to practice the application of any newfound skills, and change management is no different.

Lead with Integrity: One of the most important characteristics of any leader is integrity. This becomes even more critical when leading change. As a leader of change, you are leading the organisation and its employees on a change journey. The Leadership of Change^® requires integrity and honesty, and the leader should have both morals and credibility. Leading with integrity includes:

• Honesty: Leader honesty is one of the key pillars of positive employee relationships and successful change. Organisational change often means making changes that can be described as unpleasant, at the very least.
• Moral Leadership: There is much research to indicate that organisational leaders who value morality outperform their unethical peers. While most employees believe moral leadership delivers better business results and more successful change, few believe that leaders demonstrate these qualities consistently.
• Credibility: Credibility is about trust, respect and being believable, and this is especially important for leaders of change. Credibility is evident when the employees believe what their leaders say and do.

Benevolence: Benevolent leaders are committed to making their organisation better and this trait complements change leadership. They are approachable and accessible but are neither wimps nor pushovers. Benevolent leaders are servant leaders, they put the needs of their employees first. Benevolence includes:

• Empathy: Empathy is the ability to share an employee’s feelings or experiences by imagining what it would be like to be in that employee’s shoes. The change leader’s ability to sense an employee’s emotions about their new workload, new skills and behaviours and how the change is impacting them personally will make a big difference in how the employee embraces the change.
• Humility: Humility is the quality of recognising that you do not have all the solutions, you are not perfect. Socrates argued that humility is the greatest of all virtues.
• Respectful Leadership: Respect is about showing admiration for an employee, appreciation for their role and contribution within the organisation. No matter what role an employee does within an organisation, they all want respect for what they do.

Cascading Change Communication Throughout the Organisation
Thinkers360
February 09, 2022

Effective communication is at the heart of successful business change, creating awareness and understanding about the change. Even in normal day-to-day operations many business problems encompass communication failure, equally communication failure causes business problems. All too often organisational leaders and the change team do not give enough consideration towards the need for communication. Change programmes focus on the human side of change within the business and must incorporate a clear, focused and repetitive approach to communication, which is strongly linked to their engagement with stakeholders. It is important that the communication is proactive and consistent to reinforce the key change messages and visionwith a feedback loop.

A multi-level fountain is a great metaphor to show how change should cascade down through the organisation. This concept is equally important when communicating the change. The water flows from the top, soaking each layer of the organisation until it reaches the pool at the bottom and then it is pumped back up to the top as part of a continuous loop. The water is the change business case, vision, expectations, responsibilities and business benefits.

Top Down: The cascade approach should start top down from the CEO and sponsor, be passed to and from the executive team to the department managers and finally to all other employees. Like the water in the fountain, no level should be missed or bypassed.

Between Departments: Horizontal and diagonal communication flow is also important to ensure departments are aware of what each other are doing. Benefits include collaboration, coordination, problem solving and resource sharing.

Feedback Loop: In the fountain, the water must be returned to the top to ensure a continuous flow. Similarly, the organisation needs feedback from the employees in the organisation. The feedback loop should provide insights into what is/is not working and what needs to be adjusted.

No Vacuums: Vacuums will always exist when change is being cascaded. There may be resistance where some employees have other priorities, do not understand the change or do not agree with it. The vacuum should be quickly filled, and any resistance should be addressed.

“Effective change communication is at the heart of successful change, it acts like the blood in our bodies, but instead of supplying vital oxygen and nutrients, communication supplies information and motivation to the impacted stakeholders”

Change Leadership Alignment - Leadership Teams Question Set
Thinkers360
February 02, 2022

The question set all leadership teams should be able to answer:

Do you understand the organisation's change history?

Do you have a change vision? Are you aligned on your strategic objectives?

Are you a high performing team?

Does your team have change leadership skills to lead the change or improvement that your organisation is facing?

Leadership team alignment is fundamental to the health of an organisation and critical when implementing strategic change. We often find an organisation’s priorities are ranked very differently by each individual leadership team member. In addition to this, each leader on the same team has something even more important than the ranked priorities of the organisation, they have their own goals and egos. Unless the leadership are aligned, they are a high performing team and have change leadership skills to navigate their change, then no change model or tool, no number of competent resources or external consultants will deliver change successfully.

What is Change Leadership Alignment?

Change leadership alignment ensures that the organisational leaders are an aligned leadership team before they start their organisation's change implementation. This means they understand the organisation's change history, they have the same change vision, they are aligned on their strategic objectives, they are a high performing team, and they have the change leadership skills to lead the change, transformation, or improvement that their organisation is facing.

Why is Change Leadership Alignment important?

Change leadership alignment is important because the skills required for leading day-to-day operations are very different to change leadership. Without aligning and preparing the leadership for their change journey, it is highly doubtful they will successfully implement organisational change to ensure a return on investment, achieve full employee change adoption, and sustainable change.

What are the key steps of Change Leadership Alignment?

Change leadership alignment has five key steps:

1. An assessment of previous change history to establish what went well and what needs to improve.
2. 1:1 Interviews with the leadership team to establish barriers and enablers to change success.
3. A strategic alignment exercise to ensure the leaders are aligned on the organisation's change priorities.
4. Develop a high performing team so the leaders can deliver the change together.
5. Develop Leadership of Change® capability, the knowledge, and skills to lead employees through the change.

When does Change Leadership Alignment start?

Change leadership alignment starts on day zero of any organisation's change journey. Unless the leadership team are aligned and committed, the change is unlikely to provide the targeted return on investment (ROI).

Change Management Leadership Responsibility 3
Thinkers360
January 26, 2022

Including the 3 sub responsibilities

Responsibility 3: Intervene to Ensure Sustainable Change

The final responsibility for the leadership team in fully implementing their organisation’s change is ‘Intervene to ensure sustainable change’. Now that the leader’s change vision has been implemented, this is about making it sustainable and normal day-to-day operations. It is important that the leadership team are effectively and proactively intervening to reinforce the change.

“Without Intervention from leaders, the change will not be adopted or sustained”

Sub responsibility 3.1: Intervene to Ensure Adoption

No matter how well the change has been implemented into the organisation, it is unlikely that everyone will adopt the change right away. Full change adoption success will require intervention from leaders to ensure sustainable change. This task cannot be done by just the change team and the sponsor. The leader must also do this as part of their daily tasks.

“The only thing necessary for the change adoption to fail are leaders and managers who do not intervene to reinforce change”

Sub responsibility 3.2: Link Performance Measures

Most of the change programme activities will have been completed by this stage. The organisation will have invested a large amount of financial capital, resources and effort on this critical strategic change programme. Most of the programme budget will have been spent and it is now time to focus on benefits realisation, linking the benefits to organisational reporting and every employee’s objective.

“Change and benefits sustainment must be linked to the organisation’s and employee’s performance metrics”

Sub responsibility 3.3: Embed as Normal Operations

By this point in the change programme nearly all the leadership change responsibilities will have been completed. There are only three activities remaining, but they cannot be glossed over, or all of the previous hard work will be wasted. The first and most important sub activity is to transfer ownership of the project from the change team to operations or the new owner. For this to be effective, it must be a structured and formally recorded process.

“The change must be quickly embedded as normal day-to-day operations delivering the intended return on investment”

ACMP UK Webinar - Wednesday 12th Jan 2022 - Three Key Topics on the Leadership of Change
Thinkers360
January 05, 2022

Peter uses the Leadership of Change® in his engagements with organisational leaders to prepare them for their change or transformation journey. In this webinar, he will speak on three associated topics:

1. 1. 1. Change Leadership Responsibilities
      2. Change Leadership Alignment
      3. Change Management Gamification

1. Change Leadership Responsibilities: Effective and proactive change leadership is essential for successful organisational change. In this topic, Peter will outline the three critical leadership responsibilities to implement successful change: 1. Articulate the change vision, 2. Model the new way, and 3. Intervene to ensure sustainable change.

2. Change Alignment Leadership: The change question set all leaders should be able to answer: "Do you understand your organisation’s change history? Do you have a change vision? Are you aligned on your strategic objectives? Are you a high performing team? Does your team have change leadership skills to lead the change or improvement that your organisation is facing?” In this topic, Peter will discuss some of the steps of his change leadership alignment process.

"The best leadership teams have purpose, they are aligned on their strategic objectives, they are a high performing team and have change leadership skills to navigate 4IR"

3. Change Management Gamification: Peter uses change management gamification to develop his client’s change management skills and knowledge in a workshop environment. In this topic, Peter will cover: “What is Change Management Gamification?” and “Why Use Gamification to Learn Change Management?”

"We use change management gamification so Leadership of Change® skills and knowledge, can be learnt, discussed, and tested before they are applied back in the workplace"

I first joined the ACMP in 2016 and passed the highly recognised Certified Change Management Professional™ (CCMP™) closed book exam and was one of the first 500 people globally to achieve the designation. I joined the board of the ACMP UK Chapter as Vice President in 2019, voted into the role by ACMP UK members and I held the position for two years, August 2019 to September 2021. It was a great pleasure to then be voted, by global ACMP members, onto the ACMP Global BoD in September 2021. I am very proud to be part of this great profession.
