Classic Organizational Change Opportunities

By Joanne Zitek

The competitive organization of the 21st century needs to change more quickly, more effectively and more efficiently than ever before. The market demands it.

Effective change management helps your organization to move from strategy to plan to action. Your organizational structures, human systems and processes are all key to its success.

Alignment

Work units, groups and teams must be aligned with your business plan. And they must be designed to meet your customers’ preferences, buying habits and comfort zones. Whether organizations need to create new cross-functional teams or reorganize their lines of business the organization must function as a whole to meet its objectives.

Aligning human systems and workflow with your business strategy is important to manage costs maintain good morale. People want to be productive, and need the right human systems and workflow design to do so.

Engaging Employees

Successful organizational change demands involving people in co-creating the change. This work builds on two premises: People who do the work are often the best authorities on how the work should be done; And morale and productivity are higher when people have a sense of control and inclusion in their environment. A strategic process for involving people can make the difference between organizational change that misses or meets its goals.

Finally, there is the need for artful management of the process, including course corrections that must be made as more is learned from the experience of implementing the change.
