Applying The Project Change Triangle Model
Applying The Project Change Triangle Model In 2006, Prosci released a model to enable its change practitioners to take the pulse across a set of indicators to give a broad sense of whether an organisation was headed for success in each change project. At that time called the Project Change Triangle, the PCT Model quickly became one of the “most reached for” tools in the Prosci change practitioner’s toolkit; a simple and easy to understand scoring framework, which gave us practitioners a health check, or pulse check, on a change project with results utilising a familiar traffic-light red-amber-green output. We found the PCT Model quick to use once we became accustomed to it. Having trained thousands of change practitioners, my experience was that the PCT Model, taught on day one of the Prosci three-day certification programme, was invariably the moment when student practitioners ...

Compare your Change Initiatives to Best Practices
Let's understand why comparing your change initiative, release or project, to industry Best Practices regularly throughout the life-cycle, can help to improve the likelihood of the success of that change. "Best Practices". If the objective of effective change management is to ultimately improve the amount of usage and proficient adoption of the the new capabilities in a change project, then surely it makes sense to learn from others if there are specific areas to focus on.

Creating the Conditions for Change. Managerial Coaching: A Case Study.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Why should I read? To get an inside look into how important managerial support/coaching is for promoting an environment conducive to change. You will also find a set of good practices that can deliver fast and impactful results, even in the most challenging contexts (overlapping changes or significant resistance). Highlights: - A high-impact transformation (processes, tools, roles, hierarchical structure) whose success depends on the ability of a team challenged by economic restructuring and management turnover to regroup and reengage. - An action plan that uses managerial empowerment to (re)build a collaborative force and working environment more open to change. - A 3-step approach: (1) Audit and individual interviews, (2) Restitution/confrontation and identification of "quick wins" actions, (3) Facilitation of two workshops: "Team cohesion and alignment with the mission" and "Relationships with stakeholders". - Takeaways: Managerial coaching activities and support helped mitigate resistance ...

Your quick starter Guide to defining Change Impact.
If change were easy to define and prepare for, we would know. Organisations would all be thriving; resistance wouldn't be a thing. But this is where it gets hot and blurry: leaders and managers don't always have a clear understanding of the intricacies of their change project and its tangible impacts on people's working routines. Yet, change starts where it always does: with the people. It finds fertile ground for growth depending on how confident and prepared they feel about moving forward. And it fails or succeeds depending on how many of them adopt and use the solution with proficiency. Don't leave the change to chance. Bring change impact into focus and empower the people. NEXUM guides you through the exercise, from the definitional challenges to the ten aspects you should consider to kickstart your CM efforts. Individual change makes organisational change What's in a ...

DEBORAH ROWLAND, NICOLE BRAUCKMANN & MICHAEL THORLEY. How to Get Your Team on Board with a Major Change This article posted on Harvard Business Review by Deborah Rowland (on the 2021 HR Most Influential Thinker list), Nicole Braukmann and Michael Thorley is about how to get your team on board with a major change. The authors state that most change management has shifted from a simplistic, top-down, "create a vision, change the structure, roll out the new program, and get buy-in" approach to more emergent, empowered, and purpose-led approaches. But leading big, complex change is still a struggle ...
