Ms.Huxtable Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 I just need some advise, not to hire someone. I need to come back to the big wigs by Friday with a strategy and I'm hitting a wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phishtaper Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 isn't "change management" just a fancy way of saying, "duck when the shit hits the fan"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 isn't "change management" just a fancy way of saying, "duck when the shit hits the fan"?It's more making sure the fan is aimed away from you.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Low Roller Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Change management is a delicate topic in a field I like to call organizational engineering. It's actually a passion of mine because I have seen it implemented so poorly of numerous occasions that I want to practically specialize in it so I can show some old managers how it's done. What kind of change are you trying to implement? Staffing? Strategy? Product? Innovation? The method used will vary based on what change you are trying to implement. Always ask yourself the following questions: - Who is the change going to impact? - How might they react? - What can be done to mitigate their reaction? - What is your budget for mitigation? Although some people handle change well, the majority of employees react poorly to change because they either feel threatened or think that the change is another meaningless gesture on the part of management. They key is to get their buy-in as to why the change is necessary and how they might personally benefit from the change. That's where the plan comes into place. My rates are reasonable if you want to hire me as a consultant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
