Notes de l'éditeur

  1. External Change AgentsThese are outside consultants who are temporary employed in the  organization to remain engaged only for the duration of the change process.Internal Change AgentsThese are individuals working for the organization who know something about its problems and has experience of improving situation in the same organization. These Internal Change Agents, when assigned a reposibility of intervening in a system come from entierly different department or division of their organization.External-Internal Change AgentsThese are the individuals or small group within the organization designated to serve with the external change agent so that intervention could be implemented effectively with their help.
  2. 1. Leadership SupportIt is critical that any change initiative is supported at the highest level of the organization.  If management isn’t completely engaged in the effort, employees will notice and not take it seriously.2. Allocated ResourcesMost change initiatives require a certain level of resources.  Whether it is budget for new equipment, a person to lead the charge or time allocated to training employees – resources need to be allocated and assigned to the effort.3. Planning and ImplementationDetail in the planning of any project is important but when planning an organizational change it is critical.  Thinking through and strategizing for every aspect of the change can minimize issues during implementation.4. Communication and Buy-inOrganizations struggle with change initiates when they fail to get the employees involved and bought into the change.  Employee buy-in can always be attributed to a solid vision for a change and consistent communication throughout the process.5. PriorityUnfortunately, organizations have issues with A.D.D.  A good idea gets a lot of attention when it first is being discussed but it is easy to lose focus once the rubber meets the road.  Losing priority status can quickly kill a change initiative.6. Adjustment PeriodSometimes organizations don’t give a change initiative enough time to take root before they kill the effort.  Learning new processes and changing them to organizational norms takes time.
  3. PlanningNo lasting positive change ever comes without some advance planning. Ronald Kirk Kandt of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory states that organizations need to plan for change by minimizing risk and maximizing return. Companies should conduct research to identify barriers to positive change in the workplace, so they can eliminate potential obstacles from the outset. For instance, McGinnis states that workshops that help employees identify their own biases about other coworkers can eliminate misunderstanding and open up communication.FeedbackMost companies and organizations use an evaluation system to ensure that workers are meeting necessary job standards. However, having a yearly evaluation does little to foster ongoing positive change. Instead, having a positive feedback system in place will result in greater motivation and change. Employees who are trained to focus on the positive aspects of their own behavior will think and focus on positive change, rather than what they are doing wrong.Group ThinkingIn some workplace settings, such as the healthcare industry, collective knowledge is important. Sheila K. McGinnis makes this argument and adds that it's also important for professional healthcare workers to be united by a common purpose. In many instances the margin for error is minimal. Workers united by a common identity and purpose must be reminded of this shared identity on a regular basis. Other industries can learn from this example as well. Workers who share a common identity and purpose will be more likely to unite and implement positive change.Measuring ChangeOrganizations can also measure change in a number of different ways. For instance, companies can create surveys that measure the willingness of employees to change certain behaviors or organizational practices. By the same token, the effectiveness of that change can be measured by evaluating the opinions of employees once changes have been implemented. Through a process of constant testing and evaluation, organizations can foster a climate of change by utilizing employee input.
