In this Episode of Next Level Change success we share some of the actions you can take when you are asked to 'fix' a change that may not have been successful in the past. There are some key areas to look into to see what might be areas that need to be strengthened in future. Also to be considered are ways in which you approach the recovery in itself. It is important to be respectful and non-judgemental when coming into an organisation to get a project or program back on track. There are always people in an organisation who are trying their best and just need some support to be successful. You can provide that support by focusing on the key areas outlined in this episode.

In this Episode I share three of the change interventions and even more ideas I put into place that were effective related to various changes. These all have the focus of creating excitement, fun and a sense of ownership and engagement with the change. They all had varying outcomes but they are ideas I have used time and time again in different ways depending on the teams and the culture of the organisation.

What is the pre-cursor to a great change plan? A change impact assessment that has been well completed. But what does this entail? In this Episode we cover off the questions a leader would ask to be able to manage their team through change as well as the approach that a change manager would take. It is important that an impact assessment is conducted in a number of ways, not just via a desk top. Listen to this episode before you do your next change impact assessment - your change plan will be better for it.

In this episode we cover the MVCM Change Leadership Framework.

Many times, the response to the 'Change Leadership' need is a 1-2 day training course all about the 'how to lead change' standard process. Starting with leaders understanding how people respond to change, the need to communicate the 'why' first , etc etc. And while that provides some useful tools, there is still a framework that is missing. The exploration of key areas and roles that a leader plays and how a change leader has to 'think' and 'be' for change to be successful. Even more so how a leader contributes to the quest for organisational change agility. Have a listen to the four areas and come visit us at www.myvirtualchangemanager.com for more information on the framework.
