7th Critical Organisational Change Implementation Step - Execute Phase
Manage Resistance:
Resistance is the reaction by the organisation, departments, or individuals when they perceive that an organisational change coming their way could be a threat to them. Without further awareness and understanding, this resistance will cause fear. It will trigger actions that negatively impact the pace of organisational change implementation, adoption of the new ways of working and benefits delivery.
“Nothing negatively impacts organisation performance quicker than employees who resists change and who believes that the way they work today is the way they will work tomorrow”
Business Benefits:
Change resistance can be a major obstacle in achieving change adoption and benefit realisation. The change team must understand this and have strategies for addressing resistance.
Business Objective:
To prevent resistance from developing by following the previous a2BCMF®steps, as well as ensuring employee Awareness, Understanding, Involvement, Learning and Motivation (AUILM®) to minimise resistance.
a2B Change Management Framework® (a2BCMF®)
The a2B Change Management Framework® (a2BCMF®) is a structured and disciplined approach to support organisations, leadership teams, and individuals going through a change, the transition from the current ‘a’ state to the improved future ‘B’ state. The a2BCMF® has three phases and ten key process steps. Each phase provides change strategies, principles, analysis, and tactics to move from one phase to the next.
The framework is based on over thirty years of international change experience and brings together leading practices in change, people, and programme management. The structured programme approach, processes, techniques, and tools focus on overcoming the failures of previous change by incorporating ten key steps and success elements for achieving organisational change. It supports strategic change implementation in terms of context, content, and process. The framework is a comprehensive management model that allows executives, managers, and change practitioners to successfully deliver and achieve organisational change. It requires a holistic approach, and some steps can be performed simultaneously.
