Steps To Take

Change, whether driven by a need to improve or a desire to innovate, or some combination therein, requires the systematic implementation of a plan, a process, and a desired result.  Whatever leads you to the decision that NOW is the time to change...the action steps to follow require great energy and effort to be set forth in motion and the steadfast discipline to stay with the change process until results are realized.

Below is highlight of some of the steps you will need to take on your path to moving forward:

1. Make a decision to do things differently
2. Decide specifically what you want to change, why you want to make the change, and the intended outcome expected from the change
3. Identify and choose Change Leaders and Ambassadors
4. Create a Strategic Change Plan
5. Define the higher level and detailed tactical goals for change
6. Create a Communication Engine and Channels that can support you throughout your change process
7. Identify critical factors for success and work to mitigate the risks that can inhibit your progress
8. Create a Multidimensional Stakeholder Map and an Operating Environment Map that defines both the Current State, The Future State and the Actions Steps required to get from here to there.
