Eighty percent of change initiatives fail because of the people involved. Without the organization’s employees and its executives being an active part of the change, it is sure to fail.
Change Has Become Essential
Whether faced with an acquisition, divestiture or the need for creating operational efficiency, CEOs and the C-suite executives are faced with an increasingly complex environment fraught with uncertainty. With the constant flux of business and the realities of globalization, organizational change has become essential to companies seeking to overcome the barriers of growth and competition.
Organizational change has three main focus areas:
- Strategy
- Planning
- Implementation
The thread that ties all three areas together is the people. Eighty percent of change initiatives fail because of the people involved. Without the organization’s employees and its executives being an active part of the change, it is sure to fail. A company’s culture is a powerful factor in any organizational change as the acceptance of any change has a foundation in the organization’s ability to make a cultural shift.
Communication & Education
There is nothing more important during operational change than Communication & Education. While process is important, people are the foundation for successful change. No change can happen without the initial first step of communication – from the highest level of management to the support staff.
Often, Communication & Education is an overlooked activity where only an initial effort is put forth, but few companies actual go onto create ongoing processes. During the transformational process of an organizational change, it is vital to continuously manage the process and people.
Organizational change management does not work without a continuous Communication and Education program. From strategy changes to internal IT and service management changes to policy changes, people need to understand why and when changes happen.
