Change waits for no leader and the skills required for leading day-to-day operations are very different to change leadership. The strategic change leadership alignment process develops change leadership capability, so the organisation’s leaders are aligned, as a high performing team, with change leadership skills and knowledge to successfully lead your organisation’s change, transformation or improvement to accelerate employee change adoption and deliver sustainable long-term benefits.
Step 1. Change History Assessment© (CHA©)
A Change History Assessment© (CHA©) can provide organisational insights that can be used to mitigate previous weaknesses and enhance future success. Most organisational changes require key elements to be properly resourced and managed in order for change to be successful. These elements range from: People involvement, communications, perceived future success, etc.
The change question set all leaders should be able to answer:
"Do you understand the organisation's change history? Do you have a change vision? Are you aligned on your strategic objectives? Are you a high performing team? Does your team have change leadership skills to lead the change or improvement that your organisation is facing?"
"Change waits for no leader and the skills required for leading day-to-day operations are very different to change leadership"
Corporate thinking about change management has evolved in recent years, and it is considered a core competence by some leading organisations. Varying degrees of change capability, low employee adoption, a lack of sustainability, and low benefits realisation have become the drivers for developing corporate change capability. Change capability starts with the top leadership team; they understand previous change history and the barriers to success, so they align strategically as a high-performing team and then develop the skills and knowledge to successfully deliver future organisational change.
"If more employees were better leaders of change, the organisational benefits would be endless"
