| Change
is happening all around us yet we struggle to manage it properly.
Our team suffers when we manage change badly and that is reflected
in poor business performance. There is, however, a predictable sequence
that happens when changes are put in place and if it is predictable
then it is manageable.

| The Seven
Predictable Dynamics of Change |
| |
| 1. People
feel awkward and self conscious |
Strategy
- Tell people what to expect
|
| |
| 2. People
will think about what they have to give up |
Strategy
- Legitimise the losses, allow them to mourn
|
| |
| 3. People
will feel alone, even if everyone is going through the same changes |
Strategy
- Encourage them to share ideas, help each other through the change
|
| |
| 4.
People can handle only so much change |
Strategy
- Break down the changes, set priorities
|
| |
| 5.
People are at different levels of readiness for change |
Strategy
- Recognize that some are risk takers and others take longer
|
| |
| 6.
People will be concerned that they do not have the resources for change
(time, money, skills) |
Strategy
- Encourage creative problem solving
|
| |
| 7.
If you take the pressure off, people will revert back to their original
behavior. |
Strategy
- Keep up the focus, manage the journey
|
| |
| In this workshop
we will explore a tool called the Will / Skill Balance and use it
to manage our people through any changing process. |
