Evaluate Change Impact and Organizational Readiness
In this stage, it is crucial for an organisation to be ready for change, evaluate its values and culture in general, and to analyze each department, stakeholder and individual that will take part and be affected in this change process, to evaluate the knowledge and abilities of the organisation and its employees. This stage covers the first preparation phase on how a change management process will be planned.
Formulate the Change Management Strategy
In this stage, the risks that may be encountered in the change management process, the resources of the organisation, the total budget for the change project and reports are prepared. (eg Development of Sponsorship Strategy, Stakeholder Interaction Strategy, Change Impact and Preparation Strategy, Learning and Development Strategy, Sustainability Strategy, etc.) It is the stage of sharing and integrating change management plans and strategy with stakeholders, departments and the organizstion's own functioning.
Develop the Change Management Plan
It is the stage in which the method and methodology of the change management strategy is planned in detail. It includes the design of a comprehensive “change management plan” by preparing a resource plan, sponsorship plan and stakeholder interaction, communication and learning/development plan by including which departments will be affected and how. This phase includes project management and change management integration.
Execute the Change Management Plan
In this stage, the Change Management Plan, which was made as a result of the detailed analysis and evaluations completed, is put into operation and the Change and Transformation Project is started. It is ensured that the change is implemented by including examinations and reports on adapting to change, observing and reporting the behaviors and situations that are desired to be changed, performance management, and acquiring a sustainable and continuous development-oriented organisational culture.
Complete the Change Management Effort
This stage is the final phase of the change management project.. It is checked the analyzes and results, steps and goals set at the beginning are achieved or not. It is the stage that the change process is formally terminated.
