Part II

Putting the Plan into Motion

In this part . . .

Great change starts with a vision and need for change and ends with a perfectly executed plan. The heart of change work comes down to these elements: leadership with a strong vision of how the change will make the future better, two-way communication, and engaged employees. In this part you roll up your sleeves and get to work on all these areas.

Whether your organizational change flew in overnight or came after years of strategic planning, this part gives you the tools to make the change happen. You build your toolbox for change with a solid change road map and find out who the best candidates are for the change team. You review the fine art of project planning and find ways to integrate the people side of change with the process of change. We also take a peek at change scorecards to help you measure success. Finally, you bring everyone into the loop by developing a communication plan that will deliver on the communication trifecta: getting the right information out to the right people at the right time.
