Create Successful Organizational Change

Change happens regardless of whether anyone wants it, and most people don’t like change. The change journey can be bumpy and messy. But the rewards of achieving individual and organizational goals are wonderful. To successfully meet the desired outcomes, individuals leading change initiatives must plan carefully and follow a process and structure to support those affected. In this issue of TD at Work, Scott Span defines change management, its benefits, and why it’s critical today. Further, he:

• Outlines six parts of the change journey and how TD professionals can help.
• Conveys the importance of addressing the transition and change.
• Offers guidance on communicating about change.
• Shares how to measure whether the initiative is successful.

The Tools & Resources in this issue are a governance team planning worksheet and a bonus communications strategy template.
