Change management success tips
Many times in this blog we talked about success and pitfalls of change management.
Changing is not easy and, despite approaching it in a professional way, You cannot have no assurance that it goes a planned.
Figures can be quite difficult to normalize, but failure of change management processes is well above the 50% of cases.
This means that when starting a CM process, chances are that You will fail.
But, by approaching it in a professional way You can mitigate the risk and try to bring your process in the succeeding list.
Main failure areas fall in communication, inadequate sponsorship, too strict times, wrong pace, too tight path.
Communicating is vital, since people that do not receive correct and adequate communications tend to be scared by change.
Inadequate sponsorship brings to a sense of common disillusionment in the organization. Leaders have to be examples of change.
Setting the right pace and giving the right times help in increasing success rate: to fast pace or too strict time to achieve change bring to opposite results.
Tight path: try to make the path rigid enough to manage change, but enough flexible to let it adaptable.

Change management: do more with little less
Everyone, sooner or later gets into a change management program.
Either if it is a small or a big one, one of the big dilemmas is the extent of moves You should make to succeed.
One of the required steps is going through positive acceptance by stakeholders, at all levels. By doing this You’re able to bring on board key people and ensure to your program some “living sponsors”.
Of course techniques for doing this range from focus groups to specific communication (both in form of news and events), but the killing approach is to not to go around winning hearts and minds (as military call this technique), but to acquire an integrated pivotal role that enables You to drive the change and get the full picture of what is happening.
When You see the complete frame, You are able to understand, for each category and role the attitudes that help succeeding or block a specific behavior.
After this you’re able to leverage little moves to propagate big changes.
