Maximizing Organizational Change: How to manage transitions, dynamics, and benefits

Presented by Claudette Rowley

It’s often cited that 70% of change or transformation initiatives fail (McKinsey, Kotter, Blanchard).  Much of the research into these failures point a lack of planning, communication, and recognition of the impact on employees. William Bridges, author of Transitions and numerous other publications, notes that once leaders announce a change to their organization, they have already spent around six months pondering the change themselves. In other words, they’ve had time to acclimate to the idea of change.

Whether a change is planned or results from external pressures, leaders can make the most of organizational change by planning, communicating more effectively and checking the mindset of those involved in the change. Often those implementing day to day change is far removed from organizational leaders.
