The Management of Change

Change for the Better: Change is an opportunity, not a crisis! The skill is to learn which change is best for you!

1. Map your world:
    • - Define you activities - All of them!
      • Factors under your control
      • Factors not under your control
    • Analyze its contents
      • The whole picture
      • What you are doing and the world around you
        • Keeping up never means you'll get ahead
        • Don't react! Changing all of the time isn't good, choose to change carefully!
2. Focus on theYour Roles in Life (lots available)
  • Choose a point in the future to concentrate on
  • Explain how your context will be changed
    • What are needs & opportunities that arise in that new context
3. Design for the future:
  • Decide on the opportunities available
  • Shape your activities to fill the opportunities
    • Don't destroy what you do best to fit the opportunity
Everyone has to be able to handle change, it is vital to choose the change that is best for you!



To Implement Change:

Good management means working together to find an answer

1) Analyze the gap
  • List the main differences between where you are and where you intend to be
  • Use the staff/everyone in a positive approach to change
  • Get the people to help map the differences, effects of changes
2) Plan the Route
  • Decide on the steps to help everyone progress from the present state to the future state. Examine what could help & what could hinder along the way.
  • Plan Carefully, 1 step at a time
  • Everyone must work together to plan the route
  • Raise practical problems
  • Make sure everyone has a clear understanding of the plans
  • Don't Rush
3) Manage the Journey
  • Provide the resources to take the steps
    • Support and train those involved
    • Change means unlearning and relearning
    • Will add new responsibilities
  • Work the issues
  • Provide information & advice to cope with change
You can never get there (the future), you are always looking and planning ahead.
