An epidemic of Change is happening globally--reengineering, restructuring, and revamping! Workplaces seem to be launching one Change initiative after another. Yet, the hard truth is that many Change initiatives fail.

Change initiatives fail because of the way organizations view Change. Often, Change is seen as an isolated process. Organizations tend to focus on only one part of the organization in isolation. This can be a fatal error.

Everything in an organization is connected, and changing one piece can impact another. Hence, Change can only be successful if all interconnected pieces are considered. In 1965, Harold J. Leavitt designed an integrated approach to Change Management, known as Leavitt's Diamond. This is a framework for understanding the connection between the key factors in an organization, and building an integrated Change Strategy. Using the Leavitt's Diamond will enable organizations to better analyze the impact of the proposed Change and use the results within its implementation strategy.

This presentation provides a clear understanding of the Leavitt's Diamond or Leavitt's System Model. It succinctly discusses the 4 components of Change Strategy that are all interdependent.

1. Structure
2. Tasks
3. People
4. Technology

According to Leavitt, all 4 factors in the Leavitt's Diamond have mutual interactions, are mutually coherent, and influence one another. It is useful to building an integrated Change Strategy.

This deck also includes slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
