Agile Organizational Change Management

1. Agile Organizational Change Management Agile methodologies can better support organizational change management. In an agile deployment, we set a high-level change strategy based on what we know. Think about building a house: The plans are set in place in the beginning, but details such as wall colors, kitchen backsplash, and sink faucets can be changed at the last minute.

2. Practical agile for change managers Communications: A critical part of agile is being able to iterate and continuously improve in order to deliver an optimal solution. Rather than one large change release, an agile project would break this down into smaller releases. Each release will go through an iterative process to test, collect data, evaluate and use any learning to improve the next release. Communicating for change is a critical part of managing change and is also one that can easily be tested using a series of experiments.

3. The Campaign Monitor has outlined a series of aspects in which emails can easily be tested. These include:  Subject headlines  Pre-header  Date and time  Call to action  Content How do we measure communications experiments? There are several ways to do this:  Readership – For intranet pages, your corporate affairs rep can usually access readership statistics  Surveys – Send surveys to the audience to ask for feedback  Focus groups – Run small focus groups for feedback
