Benefits

This module will activate your organization to:

  • help managers to understand that not everyone will be ready to adopt change behaviors at the same time and with the same level of involvement, interest and commitment
  • achieve clarity about the nature and purpose of the assessment that is being conducted while performing a change readiness assessment
  • understand how crucial it is for change leaders to understand the existing nature of the organization, its culture, prominent leadership styles as well as changes that are already underway
  • consider the impact of implementing change actions with little regard to the readiness of the people whom those change actions will affect
  • reassure members within organizations responsible for continuous improvement and quality programs that such processes within organizations are taken into account by change initiatives at this stage
  • show change teams that they can make adjustments and tweaks to their change management methodology based upon what issues they find at this stage
  • encourage change groups to create their own readiness assessment tools that will suit their organization’s unique situation
  • demonstrate to senior executives that the implementation of a particular change initiative is timely or not or, that it must be prioritized amongst other change initiatives

This module will empower your teams and individuals to:

  • understand the importance of gauging the organization’s capacity to change prior to implementing a change initiative
  • awareness of the uses of both qualitative and quantitative measures of readiness
  • knowledge of how to use a readiness measure to identify potential sources of resistance

This module is ideal for use at this stage of change implementation:

Facilitators can make use of a range of techniques such as brainstorming or debates to explore the knowledge check questions.

Use examples of learners’ experiences in the supplementary activity which follows.

Ever Decreasing Circles

TARGET AUDIENCE: All learners SUGGESTED TIMING: 30 - 40 minutes

This activity involves a physical exercise, where the group learns to cope with decreasing resources. The aim is to show that innovation is the key to coping with change and that cooperation works better than competition.

The resources are represented by circles on the ground. Each time you say ‘move’ they have to change to another circle and have both feet inside a circle. You progressively remove the circles, forcing them to cooperate and innovate.

Assessing Change Readiness

TARGET AUDIENCE: All learners SUGGESTED TIMING: 40 - 60 minutes

This activity takes learners who are new to change through a type of change readiness assessment. Where possible, it should be based on their own organization; however there are generic scenarios available.

Learners should work in small groups and the activity should end with each group presenting their assessments to the other groups and receiving feedback from their fellow learners.
