Prosci's 3-Phase Change Management ProcessProsci is an independent research company focusing on change management techniques. Its process is the sequence

of steps or activities that a change management team follows to apply change management to an initiative.

What do these models have in common?

What else must be considered?

The Congruence ModelThe Congruence Model is based on the principle that an organization's performance is derived from four elements: tasks, people, structure, and culture. The higher the congruence, or compatibility, amongst these elements, the greater the performance.

1. Step One: Analyze each element

2. Step Two: Analyze how elements interrelate

3. Step Three: Plan to create and maintain congruence

Culture: How does information flow around the organization?What are the beliefs and values of individuals in the organization?How can leadership be leveraged?

Tasks: Does the work require specific knowledge or skill?What are the intrinsic rewards involved in completing the work?What sort of approach is needed to do this work best?

People: Who interacts to get the work done?What are these people's preferences and expectations for compensation, reward, career progression, recognition, and organizational commitment?

Organizational Structure: How is the company organized? Are there distinct business units or other separations? How standardized is the work? Rules, policies, procedures.How is work measured and incentivized and rewarded?

Communication: A Practical Planning Tool

•

Stakeholder Key Interest Desired Support Barriers Message Needs Communication Approach

Communications: An Effective Planning Checklist

Who will deliver the communications in your organization?

Who are the key influencers and how will you use them?

How will you answer WHY this change is needed?

What is in it for your audience?

What are their barriers to this change? How will you overcome them?

What are your key messages?

How will you deliver the message? What will be most effective?

Are your communicators prepared? Are your influencers on the same page?

Are you resisting the urge to have the communication come only from the project lead?

Will there be face-to-face communications? How will you create opportunities for two-way dialogue?

How will you repeat the message at least at eight times?

How will you celebrate short-term wins? How will you reward performance longer term?

Are reactions being gauged? Are you open to refinement?

Are the results be measured?

How will change be reinforced and rewarded over the long haul?
