“I have never written a recommendation for anyone on LinkedIn. But Jim is an exception. In my many years as an IT Audit Principal, my experience with Jim was that he was by far one of the smartest and most intelligent individuals I have ever had the opportunity to work with. I feel that Jim always provided me with honest and insightful assessments. He followed that up by producing positive and meaningful solutions and results. Always. He made a real difference. ”

How can you scale and sustain change management benefits?
In my experiences it is critical to engage the organization to assure it is prepared to receive transparent and authentic communication. Communication is critical throughout change, but starting the communication before you have prepared the team to receive it will have a clear impact on the planned change and likely end up as one of your Critical Lessons Learned for future change.

How can you scale and sustain change management benefits?
An element of a change culture that is exciting and can come with risk is the area of experimentation or even "test and learn". The exciting part is that it enables the broad inclusion of varied experiences to advance to new levels of success. This builds into the inclusivity and diversity elements of a corporate strategy and grants a pathway forward to explore new ways of doing things. The risk part of this comes about from organizations that are concerned with the need for strong controls, typically brought on by regulations and the legal environment. Managing these risks effectively can inspire more potential experimentation in the future, but may need its own Change Management plan to foster healthy and safe space.

How can you scale and sustain change management benefits?
This particular step is a critical element of creating an effective Change Management plan and as outlined highlights the potential to include different levels withing an organization. What I have found helpful when identifying Change Agents is to identify and approach the "indirect leaders" within an organization. These individuals are seen by their peers as leaders in their specific domain and have earned the respect of others through their engagement, behaviors, and direct actions. This type of person demonstrates leadership qualities outside of a declared leader title and instills trust when they are included as a Change Agent.

How can you scale and sustain change management benefits?
Initiatives and transformations within organizations is critical to foster continued growth, resilience, and competitive advantage. Assuring these are aligned to the organizational strategy and vision is key to providing everyone with a "North Star" of the anticipated target and outcome. Aligning Change Management plans and programs to the Strategy and Vision allows leaders of initiatives and transformations to answer the "Why" and "What about me?" elements of such a change. These are critical elements to assure the human capital of the organization can focus on what is needed to be successful. This alignment can also create the platform to define the behaviors that will be critical in the future state.
