“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” - Leo Tolstoy
Change is the only constant thing • Organizational change is the movement of an organization from the existing plateau toward a desired future state in order to increase organizational efficiency and effectiveness (Cummings and Worley, 2005; George and Jones, 2002). The process, tools and techniques manage the people-side of change to achieve the required business outcome

Causes of resistance • Employees: • Not aware of the business need for change • Lay-offs were announced or feared • Unsure if they had the skills needed for success in the future state • Comfort with the current state • Believed they were being asked to do more with less, or do more for the same pay • Managers: • Loss of power and control • Overloaded with current responsibilities • Lacked awareness of the need for change • Lacked the required skills • Fear, uncertainty and doubt

3.Induction of Technology • Work process • Methods • Equipments Technology is considered the engine of growth in today’s world. Perhaps the greatest challenge for contemporary organizations is the acquisition and integration of technology in its strategy, structure and process.
WHY CHANGE • Economic conditions change as they are impacted by organizational failures, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, etc. • Consumer behavior changes, e.g., children use computers at a very early age • Suppliers fail as big customers force them to lower prices or as other changes impact them e.g., Mattel toys manufactured in China containing lead

Food for Thought The “changers” or the change agents may be “living” in the future state, while everyone else “the changees” are living in the present state
Three Phases of Change: How people experience change Current State Transition State Future State
Current State • Employees (including management and executives!) generally prefer the current state, because that is where they live Current State Transition State Future State “better the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t”
Future State • The future state is unknown to the employee; will it be better, or worse? • This is where Project teams “live” Current State Transition State Future State
Transition State • The transition state creates stress and anxiety Current State Transition State Future State
LOUD THINKINGEffective change management MUST be focused on helping individuals change
Successful change addresses both the technical and the people side Solution is designed, developed and delivered effectively(Technical side) + Solution is embraced, adopted and utilized effectively(People side) = CHANGE SUCCESS Individual PEOPLE change, NOT organizations
Individual change management it theCenterpiece of success The secret to successful change lies beyond the visible and busy activities that surround change. Successful change, at its core, is rooted in something much simpler: How to facilitate change with one person. From ADKAR: a model for change by Jeff Hiatt
Effective change management requires two perspectives Individual perspective • How does one person makes a change successfully? Organizational perspective • What tools we** have to help individuals make changes successfully? ** “we” means project leaders and team members, HR, OD, training, communications, managers, supervisors
The focus of Change management is on helping individualsmake their own personal transition Organizational “The change” to how we do business Individual How I do my job today From: How I will do my job after the change is implemented To: 39
ADKAR • Awareness of the need for change (why). • Desire to support and participate in the change (our choice). • Knowledge about how to change (the learning process). • Ability to implement the change (turning knowledge into action). • Reinforcement to sustain the change (celebrating success).
Employees have preferred sendersof change messages Top-level executives and senior leaderswhen the message pertains to the business need for change and alignment of the change with the organization's overall direction. Employees’ immediate supervisors for messages that pertain to the individual impact resulting from the change (discussing 'what's in it for me' with each employee). 44
