As a leader, you navigate your team through various changes, some significant and others less so. How many changes are currently on your agenda? What strategies can you use to get your team members on board? How can you turn resistance into enthusiasm? And how do you manage initiatives that you don't personally endorse?
Your employees play a vital role in integrating the company's vision into daily operations through their constructive contributions and shared ideas. However, their readiness and willingness to participate is crucial. Providing them with essential change tools can enhance their engagement. These tools can include being proactive, understanding the speed of change and how to raise concerns, and practising self-care.
If you aim to forge a new path, enhance quality, or address a complex issue in your department, co-creation is a beneficial strategy. It proves particularly effective in high complexity or high tension situations as it allows everyone to identify risks, pursue opportunities, and set specific steps. Such circumstances are where we excel.
Internal experts from the Change Management or Transformation Office are also on the lookout for opportunities to learn and grow. For these dedicated professionals, we design a customized program. This program may include workshops on key topics such as stakeholder mapping, heat maps, and Lean Change. The facilitation of co-creation in practice could also be a featured topic. Whenever possible, we incorporate individual preparation and peer supervision.
Clear communication and getting everyone on board can also be a significant challenge for project managers. They need to decide when to deliver messages themselves and when to seek assistance from sponsors or executives. Staying updated on all developments, identifying effective communication channels, and assessing the level of support needed are also crucial. These elements form the foundation for an engaging training session.
