If you could go back in time and start a change project again…

“If you could go back in time and start a change project again, what would you do differently?”

This was the question we posed to some of our valued clients and through a frank interview process we recently undertook. Overwhelmingly, two critical aspects emerged for a successful transition.

First, the effective management of the change process.  When change programs are well managed, employees feel that they understand the reason for the change, how it impacts on them and what they need to do differently in the future. Stakeholders can see a positive impact on the business as a result of the project. For the management team, achieving these goals is often the result of months of preparation work.

 Second, leading people through the transition is vital. This involves the tools and development for our leaders to succeed in transforming others during the transition.

 These are just the first two aspects that emerged from our conversations. Click here to download our Leading Through Transition Tip Sheet.
