Change Management Diagnosis
Change management diagnosis, in terms of responsiveness, readiness, impact, key results, and environmental intelligence is critical to achieve lasting results from strategic organizational change. Two primary change management diagnostics/ tools to assist
your business in change management diagnosis for strategic advantage are:
• Strategy Awareness Profile, and
• Strategic Change Readiness Diagnostic
To rally your people and resources behind a strategic
change or breakthrough performance, you need solid information
on the depth of understanding your people have about the strategy
or change, and address their key expectations and concerns.
The Strategy Awareness Profile provides your
organization useful insight in these areas.
The Strategy Awareness Profile covers issues
such as:
• Understanding and insight on the strategic situation
• Effective alignment and shared purpose
• Buy-in of strategic drive and action plans
• Level of business-wide involvement and commitment.
The Strategic Change Readiness Diagnostic helps
key stakeholders in your change effort to holistically
explore your prevailing strategic situation, challenges and
commitments. It gives you useful input and feedback on key
areas needing attention to ensure that your strategic change management
effort achieves desirable results.
The Strategic Change Readiness Diagnostic provides
your organization vivid insight on the level of readiness
and support for your strategic change effort. It addresses
such questions as:
• How much is understood by stakeholders regarding your
strategic situation?
• What are the stakeholders' concerns and expectations?
• What are the perceptions and orientations stakeholders
have about the change effort?
• What tendencies are represented and how will they
impact on your planned change?
• Is your business equipped for dealing with the ramifying
effects and outcomes of the change?
Our approach for helping you develop your organization's Strategy
Awareness Profile and administering the Strategic Change Readiness
Diagnostic facilitates your people's ownership of, and commitment to, your strategic change effort.
Strategy
and Change Management Commitment Roundtables
Strategy and Change Commitment Roundtables ensure that your change efforts are streamlined with your strategic challenges while promoting the commitment of key stakeholders in the change management process. The
commitment of stakeholders in any change effort is, perhaps,
the most important factor, after a vivid understanding and
focus of the strategic situation and strategic drive has been
communicated and understood. Driving this commitment requires
paying attention to key human factors and aligning them to
the strategic change imperatives you are dealing with.
With the imaginative and insightful ideas and tools your people employ during the roundtables, the Strategy and Change Management Commitment
Roundtables help your business develop the responsiveness, organizational culture and leadership to make your change management attain your vision corporate-wide while promoting your people's actualizing attributes for high performance. Using
the FEDAR™
framework in a series of one-day strategy commitment roundtables helps your business facilitate its people's commitment to its
strategic thrust and vision. This includes employing the TOP-TECH™ model to facilitate your people's collaborative skills for
high performance.
Strategic
Change Impact Review
Strategic change impact review is critical to achieving lasting organizational change.
How
well is your business doing in its strategic change effort?
How do you measure the success of strategic change in your
organization? These
seem easy to answer?......Is it not obviously a matter of
measuring the change effort on impact of what your business
considers to be strategic? Such a view is obviously simplistic...
A
key limitation is when an organization has a narrow view on
the results its strategic change efforts are producing or
should be producing. One example of this is when an organization
is unaware of the ramifying aspects of its change efforts
just because its top management conceives measures of success
in traditional terms in discontinuous environment. Another
problem is when a business fails to factor in special interest
issues or local concerns when using models of strategic change
assessment.
For
ultimate business performance, it is imperative that you take
a strategic view of the results being produced by your change
effort with an eye on insight and versatility. This means undertaking
a systematic change impact assessment or review focusing on
effective synergy. It means that you
do an overall change impact assessment or survey in order
to see what benefits and results in the long haul your change
effort is producing. You do this periodically within the context
of a total organization development framework.
What
results and outcomes are your change efforts producing? How
are your change efforts impacting your people, and the various
organizational systems, subsystems and facets? Are the change
efforts impacting on effective organizational synergy? You

Consider some change failure facts. Sometime ago, theodcompany.com featured 10 errors as the most common errors hindering
a change program from achieving its long-term objective. The
first five errors listed — including trying to fix a process rather
than changing it, failure to focus on the business process,
and settling for little successes or minor results rather
than strategic ones — primarily deal with failure to create
effective organizational synergy and alignment for sustainable
high performance.
To assist your business
in strategic change review producing insight for effective
organizational synergy, we
use a customized change-impact assessment tool deriving from
an exploratory diagnosis or survey. This may be developed
based on feedback obtained after strategy commitment roundtables
or interactive sessions in your organization. The assessment
focuses on the overall impact of any strategic change
effort your business has undertaken organization-wide,
or in some units or functions, advisably during critical phases
of the strategic change process.
Change
Management Workshops
Usually, change management workshops result from strategy and change commitment roundtables. They focus specifically on key issues identified in such roundtables and/or from the change management diagnosis. We adopt collaborative and consultative approaches to help your
organization design theme, focused change management workshops
and syndicate activities.
The
workshops and syndicate activities are customized to effectively
and efficiently address the unique strategic realities of
your organization so as to make the change achieve your desired
business objectives. The change management workshops are facilitated with the TOP-TECH™ model.
In
addition, some of the OD
Synergy Workshops™ and the methodology employed on the OD Synergy Workshops™
are effective for strategic change management.
