Change
Management (CM)
Background
Change management
is a systematic approach to manage change, both from the perspective
of an organization and the individual. The CRET’s
Change Management methodology provides the sustaining commitment or
customer “buy-in” to a change and speeds the organization
to a transition that produces more value, as well as provides support
for managing the “human” side of the work change. The results
include a structured and orderly approach, while concentrating on the
commitment and sustainability of the change.
Methodology
The
CRET’s change
management methodology has three phases Identification, Application,
and Maintenance or I.A.M. The CRET
has embedded several essential principles into its methodology to ensure
commitment and a speedy transition to the change.
Identification
phase focuses
on defining the change, assessing the current organizations readiness
for change, identifying and ensuring adequate sponsors, identifying
initial communication needs, and identifying the approach.
Application
phase consists of identifying and managing organizational resistance.
Upon identifying issues of resistance, the methodology captures the
findings and incorporates them into an integrated management plan. This
phase also includes determining communication needs and development
of this phase addresses communication planning. In addition, the development
and execution of risk mitigation and transition plans. During this phase,
adjustments will also be made to the plans to integrate with the culture.
Maintenance
phase focuses on the measured achievement of objectives while also establishing
a continuous improvement orientation and evolution plan. The methodology
stresses publicizing the progress achieved. Wins should be celebrated
and lessons learned should be are conveyed and captured. Also, this
phase emphasizes the institutionalization of changes.
