"If you are driving change in your organisation and the leaders and sponsor are not effective and proactive, then you may be involved in a charade, an act of insanity, or you could be a change management dilettante!"
Leadership of Change® Volumes 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8
About This Book: Organisational change leadership is about effectively and proactively articulating the vision, modelling the new way, and intervening to ensure sustainable change. Leadership of Change® Volume 4 is a change management leadership book that outlines what should be done to successfully implement organisational change to ensure a return on investment, full employee change adoption, and sustainable change. Until recently, an organisational leader or manager could just focus on normal day-to-day operations, handing off change management and implementation responsibilities to other people.
About This Book: This change management book focuses on how to achieve employee change adoption in a major organisation change or transformation using the AUILM® Employee Adoption Model. Often there is mixed success, and the ROI benefits are not always realised when organisations try to implement major change. For change adoption to be successful, the employee must be supported through the change transition; they should be provided with Awareness, Understanding, Involvement, Learning, and Motivation (AUILM®) to achieve sustainable change and benefit realisation.
About This Book: This change management book focuses on how to achieve employee behaviour change, which can sometimes be a critical part of successful organisational change. Sometime a major organisation change or transformation relies on behaviour change on safety, legal or financial compliance, customer service, or a growth mindset, to name but a few. This book outlines how the a2B5R® Employee Change Behaviour Model can be used in five key life cycle stages (Recognise, Redesign, Resolve, Replicate and Reinforce) to support employee behavioural change.
About This Book: Without a proactive and effective change sponsor, most change programmes or initiatives will fail to achieve the targeted objectives. This book outlines the three critical sponsorship responsibilities to successfully implement change; Say - communicating the change, Support– providing resources and Sustain - embedding the change.
Organisational change management implementation where the leaders of the organisation and the change team are involved in an absurd pretence intended to create a pleasant or respectable appearance of change. The leaders continue to focus on normal day-to-day operations devoid of change leadership responsibilities and are permitted to do so by the change team or consultants deluding themselves that they can implement successful change while the leaders control critical resources and agenda time. (Also see Change Management Charade - Leadership of Change® Volume 8).
Change Management Insanty
Refers to the misguided tendency of organisations and their leaders to repeat the same unsuccessful approaches to change, expecting different results each time. The leadership team will continue to focus on normal day-to-day operations and delegate change implementation to an external consultant or internal resources. The leadership teams do not align or rank the change initiative with other strategic business priorities and do not share critical organisational resources or agenda time with the change team. As a result, successful and sustainable transformation becomes elusive, leading to a cycle of repeated failures in managing change effectively. (Also see Change Management Insanity - Leadership of Change® Volume 9).
Change Management Dilettante
Refers to an individual who engages in change management practices without a deep understanding, commitment, or passion for the discipline. They dabble in the field without serious intent or expertise. This lack of genuine engagement can contribute to high change and transformation failure rates globally.
