Here are the 8-steps outlined at a very high level. We’ll be using the 8-steps to organize our activities and tools. Using the 8 steps also helps us communicate what we do in Change Management to those who either don’t know about CM or see it as too soft or ambiguous.
The blue/yellow/red coloring helps outline the phase you are in.
Creating a Climate for Change is steps 1-3 = Getting things ready
Engaging & Enabling the Whole Organization is 4-6, Getting things started and Implementing & Sustaining Transformation is 7-8, Getting it embedded
Most projects rush to step 4 and 5 – ‘say something and get going’, but they never get to 7 because they try to bite off more than the organization can chew in the initial steps – so things get bogged down and stall.
