” Change is hard because people overestimate the value of what they have and underestimate the value of what they
may gain by giving that up.”
– Ralph C. Stayer
Change Management is among the most important strategies for ensuring successful business transformation.
Organizations operating in the modern business landscape are now managing more than just customers, products, and
employees. They’re also managing new technologies, changing consumer behavior, fluctuating market conditions, and
new growth opportunities.
”In short, businesses must manage Change. To do so, they need to devise ChangeManagement strategies”
The Need for Change Management
Change Management potentially offers great benefits. It supports a seamless transition from the old to the new and
gives you a map to follow for helping your employees and your organization evolve with the change. It also helps you
understand the need and the impact of change to respond to the challenges efficiently while minimizing the
possibility of failure.
Regardless of the industry, all Change Management strategies share three
main goals:
1. Energize and Incentivize Employees
Nearly 70% of change initiatives fail due to reluctance or lack of support from
employees. Change is intimidating, especially when everyone is used to their routine. Change Management ensures
employees feel supported and recognized. More importantly, most employees follow their self-interests as they
should, and as a result, companies offer incentives for encouragement.
2. To Improve Return on Investment (ROI)
The organizational change aims to improve efficiency and operations to generate more revenue. Whether it’s new
equipment or enhanced communication tools, any change should help employees improve their performance.
3. Competitive Edge
Companies evolve through structured change, which helps them gain a competitive edge through reduced expenditure,
innovation, and improved customer service.
Change Management Strategies for Successful Organizations
Whether you’re aiming for specific, departmental, or complete business transformation, here are 6 Change Management
strategies you can employ:
1. Careful Strategic Planning
Before you propose the change to your team, make sure you have a clear plan covering when, how, and why the change
is taking place. Ideally, you’ll have to document the tasks need to get you where you want to be, assign
responsibilities, and answer concerns.
2. Clear and Detailed Execution Plan
A business strategy is useless without a successful execution plan. It is the crucial bridge between theory and
practice, except the margin for error is thin at an organizational level. A cleared and detailed execution plan is
the key element that can drive the change you want to see. Bad execution can easily ruin a brilliant business
strategy and kill your ambitions, not to mention waste resources and burn out staff.
3. Transparency
Organizational change usually occurs in phases and involves confidentiality on the part of managers and key
individuals. However, business transformation is a big change. So, it’s helpful to be as transparent as possible
even if you can’t share the details. The idea is to make your staff feel more comfortable.
4. Effective Communication
Keep all internal communication channels open and take time to explain why the change is happening. As a leader,
make yourself open to questions, hold short team meetings, and monitor the Change Management processes.
5. Create a Road Map
Help your employees where the organization stands, where it came from, and where it’s going. Let them know how the
change plays into the company’s history, culture, and mission. Laying this out demonstrates the strategy behind the
change and will help employees see how they fit into the equation.
6. Realistic Overhaul
Instead of a hasty directional shift, focus on a longer, more strategic rollout. This will give your employees a
better chance to adjust and slowly adopt new habits, practices, or even new equipment. All Change Management
strategies aim to allow everyone to naturally transition themselves and gradually phase out old practices.
