Summary : Making Change Happen - Ken Matejka and Al Murphy
BusinessNews Publishing
This work offers a summary of the book "MAKING CHANGE HAPPEN: On Time, On Target, On Budget" KEN MATEJKA and AL MURPHY.There is no one which can always be used to implement change within an organisation, Matejka and Murphy suggest, because there are too many variables involved. Everyone has to work on a case-by-case basis. Fortunately, however, Matejka and Murphy have devised a systematic process to increase your company's chances of success. In Phase 1, you build a business case for the change you want to make. Phase 2 then looks at all the fine details involved in making that change happen. Too many businesses skip straight to phase 2, leaving employees disgruntled and left out of the process. Phase 1 should begin with an effort to create dissatisfaction with the status quo, so that everyone wants a change of some kind. The period of consultation and explaining detailed plans is vital, because if there is opposition on all sides, it could be that you're heading in the wrong direction. You should be honest about the challenges of change implantation, because you'll destroy trust if you are anything else. Making Change Happen doesn't promise that every change you have can be implemented smoothly, but does put forward a persuasive argument that by clear articulation and consultation, you will succeed.
