Making Change

While working I took a class in change management during spring. Haven't had time to dedicate on the blog, but starting from the end: Aspects that we considered to be utterly important in an organisational change are communication, having a vision, setting well defined goals aligned with this vision, goals that can be achieved also in short term in order to keep motivation and pace in the change work. In a modern, knowledge-based organisation it is vital to establish a learning organisation. Change is dynamic, it's not about deciding on a 5-yearplan and send it to empolyees to fulfil it. Therefore, I drew a model that serves as a map during change, something to gather around in the organisation and also should be used for follow-ups and a double loup learning.




The green squares are supposed to be filled in with whatever the co-workers decide on. After some time, at the end of the year, the grey area is filled in with achievements. A gap-analysis provides input for the next year's green squares - after other relevant business intelligence has been considered.

Oops


Oh, what happened during the month of May? I lead workshops - for process analysis and for inventory of competences, and future needs. I held a seminar on customer focus. And I finished a university course in change management to get an up date. Then I took a week off, in Corfu, Greece, just lovely.
