Attributes of Successful OCM
All of the methodologies have elements in common: – Recognition of the importance of individual change to meet organizational goals – Understanding of the individual psychology involved – Acceptance that change management must be part of the project that is instituting the change – Acknowledgment of the need for proactive tactics beginning early in the project lifecycle and adapting tactics as the project matures
Building Individual Commitment to Change
Moving key stakeholder groups along this continuum is critical to the success of the program.
