What must we do to bring about a Change initiative as smoothly as possible?

Communicate! Communicate! Communicate!

How much, and for how long do we do this?

Until we get sick and tired of the sound of our own voice – then we take a deep breath and a drink of water and we start all over again. Communication isn’t something that stops and starts; it’s a constant activity before, during and after any Change initiative.

This isn’t exactly news. We sort of get this. I can ask any audience in the world to tell me the ‘secret’ to good Change and they repeat back “Communicate, Communicate and Communicate some more!” as if it’s been forcefully injected into their cerebellum.

The problem arises when the questioning becomes a bit more detailed, “What exactly should we communicate?”

The response to that question is usually either a blank stare or the reasonable recitation of the reporter’s standby; Who, What, Where, When, How and Why. Not a bad start.

If we’re writing a news article, then these are good solid questions. The Change Management problem requires all of those, and a few others besides. It’s not that the reporter’s questions are a poor tool; it’s just that they don’t address the peculiar psychology of the Change challenge.

Gain the following knowledge & skills & be able to:

• Design a communication plan to address the real concerns of the Target Audience
• Respond appropriately to concerns regarding the Change in order to avoid reinforcing those concerns
• Install support structures to shorten the transition period
• Respect the existing status quo before replacing it with another
• Minimize the pain of change in order to make it easier to embrace
• Recognize why celebrating a transition is not just a reason to throw a party

“OK Boomer.”  –  “Generation Snowflake”  –  “Zoomer”

Terms like these, thanks to the internet, are buzzwords that imply a significant split between generations, but in today’s workforce — at a time of big-time change — there’s more similarity than one might think.

1. Has the experienced Boomer generation figured out how to make Change successful?
2. Or is it better managed by the Gen-Xers or even Millennials?

Obviously, each person processes change in their own way and on their own time, but there are common grounds and standard approaches that leaders can use for implementing transformational change.

In this webcast, Lori LaBeau  (LinkedIn profile) cornerstone Senior Organizational Change Leader will look at the lens used by each generation and how organizational change management can be successful across your enterprise.

Key Takeaways:

• Understanding the WIIFM factors across generations
• ADKAR model for Organizational Change Management
• Becoming a Change Leader/Mentoring Change Leaders

Leaders say they’re learning a lot while the pace of change within organizations has — and continues — to increase to record levels of speed.

Leaders say change occurs too quickly for some, their people don’t fully understand why change occurs, and high periods of change greatly impact employee performance.

Formal change management efforts are difficult to incorporate within organizations, which drives our need to consider a creative approach to meet the needs of employees.

Change championing is an innovative solution that can be implemented within any organization to address modern change management needs.

Join Dr. Tina Thompson (LinkedIn profile) and:

• Understand how change championing will work for you and your people
• Create a vision for the change champion model
• Prepare and develop change champions in your organization
