Organisational Change Management Challenges - Execute Phase
Following on from last month’s blog.
Lots of statistics show organisational change and transformations failing to deliver their intended benefits. You can argue about the true percentage of success, but the fact is that many organisations do not achieve full benefits realisation, and in many cases, they fail to attain a return on investment (ROI). Equally unacceptable to shareholders is that the vision is not realised, meaning the organisation’s strategy has not been executed. Even when the organisation and its leadership team agree the changes are necessary for the future of the organisation, they still face challenges.
Change Implementation Challenges - Execute Phase:
5. Poor Communication: Lack of engagement and communication.
“Effective change communication is at the heart of successful change, it acts like the blood in our bodies, but instead of supplying vital oxygen and nutrients, communication supplies information and motivation to the impacted stakeholders”
6. Ignoring Change Readiness Input: Perform the change readiness assessment and adhere to the results!
“Readiness is about ensuring the sponsor and leadership get the organisation and its employees ready so that resistance is limited and adoption is maximised”
7. Thinking there is No Resistance: There will always be resistance even if it is not overt!
"Nothing negatively impacts organisation performance quicker than an employee who resists change and who believes that the way they work today is the way they will work tomorrow”
8. Ignoring the Importance of Behaviours: If you do not change employee behaviour, you will not get organisational change.
“If you do not change employee behaviour, you will not get organisational change and performance improvement"
The four steps above are part of the a2B Change Management Framework® (a2BCMF®).

There is a very popular statistic about how few people change their diet or lifestyle after open heart surgery.....
"If it is difficult to change the behaviour of people so they are healthier and live longer, how difficult will it be to change employee workplace behaviour"
