Creating strategic change
Writing by Leila Summa on Friday, 14 of November , 2008 at 11:51 pm
“The conventional approach to change
has ten structural weaknesses:
–1 Top management clings to the old model of leadership.
–2 Change is imposed and driven by senior management.
–3 The change model is based on control and domination.
–4 Stakeholder involvement is narrow.
–5 Awareness of current reality is limited.
–6 The focus is on identifying and solving problems.
–7 The vision is shaped by an elite group of experts and senior
managers.
–8 Linear thinking is used.
–9 Change strategy is communicated by transmitting messages.
–10 Planning and implementation are sequential.”
Ten conditions for successful change
+1 Top management adopts a new model of leadership.
+2 The need for change is self-determined, and the change
process is self-managed
+3 The change model is based on trust and co-operation.
+4 There is broad stakeholder involvement.
+5 Awareness of current reality is comprehensive.
+6 The focus is on seeing and realising future possibilities.
+7 The entire organisation is involved in shaping the vision.
+8 Systems thinking is employed.
+9 Change is guided by and emerges from strategic
conversations.
+10 Planning and implementation are simultaneous.
