What makes some organizations able to absorb monumental change while others struggle to accommodate even the smallest changes? It is a relevant question no matter the industry or size of the organization. There is no one secret ingredient that enables an organization to be totally prepared and able to initiate change successfully, but rather, integration of cross-functional characteristics. In this session, we will concentrate on an integrated model that organizations can use to determine:
- How to define "readiness",
- What characteristics and behaviors increase change readiness,
- How the organizational leadership impacts readiness for change, and
- How culture impacts readiness.
This session will examine 4 quadrants of the Organizational Change Readiness Model: Change Awareness, Change Agility, Change Reaction and Change Mechanisms. We will also share examples and discuss the use of metrics to measure an organization's change readiness and benchmark its progress through use of the Change Readiness Gauge™.
