CHANGE MANAGEMENT PPT SLIDES

Structured Three-Phase Change Management Framework

This PPT slide outlines a structured three-phase change management process: "Preparing for the change," "Managing the change," and "Monitoring and reinforcing the change." In the first phase, organizations define the change management scope by identifying the nature of the change, understanding impacted stakeholder groups, and preparing a change management team with clear roles and responsibilities. The second phase focuses on developing and implementing change management plans, including a stakeholder communication plan, a sponsorship roadmap, and a coaching plan for change champions to drive awareness and buy-in among stakeholders. The final phase emphasizes ensuring stakeholder adoption through feedback mechanisms and reinforcing change by incorporating feedback into future initiatives while recognizing stakeholder contributions. This framework can be adapted to various projects, ensuring systematic change management.

Key Roles and Responsibilities in Change Management

This PPT slide outlines critical roles in change management, categorizing them into 4 groups: change management team, change sponsors, change champions, and change support. The change management team engages stakeholders, including disposal teams and sponsors, to align change initiatives with disposal timelines, ensuring project momentum. Change sponsors are primary leaders who build stakeholder support and communicate directly, fostering ownership and accountability. Change champions, often line managers, advocate for change, communicate the narrative, and address stakeholder resistance, with coaching being vital for their empowerment. Change support provides subject matter expertise and collaborates with departments like human resources and compliance to develop effective change management plans. A well-defined structure for these roles is essential for navigating change complexities and achieving successful outcomes.

Stakeholder Mapping Process for Change Management

This PPT slide outlines the stakeholder mapping process, essential for effective stakeholder engagement during organizational change. It serves as a visual tool to identify and analyze stakeholders, determining their relevance and influence on change initiatives. The 4 key phases include identifying stakeholders, analyzing their perspectives, mapping relationships, and prioritizing stakeholders based on influence and issues. It distinguishes between internal stakeholders (management, staff, committees) and external stakeholders (customers, investors, suppliers, regulatory bodies), highlighting their varying degrees of influence on change success. Engaging key stakeholders with significant influence is critical for achieving desired outcomes in change management.

Framework for Transitioning Change Awareness to Adoption

This PPT slide outlines a structured approach for transitioning individuals from awareness to adoption during change initiatives, organized into "Awareness" and "Key Change Activities." The "Awareness" section highlights stakeholder alignment, communication, change readiness, change tactics, change risk management, and project governance, all essential for preparing stakeholders. Effective communication fosters understanding among stakeholders. The "Key Change Activities" section details actions like defining a change management strategy, preparing a dedicated change management team, and identifying key external stakeholders while mapping their commitment levels. Developing segmented communication plans ensures messages resonate with different groups. Regular assessments of readiness and change risks allow for strategy adaptation based on feedback. Monitoring and reinforcing change keeps stakeholders engaged and informed, aligning internal communication with stakeholder engagement plans.

Framework for Organizational and Individual Change Management

This PPT slide outlines a comprehensive approach to change management, categorizing change into 3 types: developmental, transitional, and transformational. Developmental change focuses on enhancing specific organizational aspects through incremental improvements. Transitional change replaces existing processes with new ones, requiring adjustments in workflows and employee roles. Transformational change leads to substantial alterations in structure, processes, culture, and strategy. The [Describe Project] will encompass elements of all 3 types of change, addressing both organizational change—optimizing management structures and processes—and individual change—ensuring effective adoption of new methods by employees. This dual focus is essential for successful change management implementation.

Outcome-Based Change Management Model Overview

This PPT slide outlines an outcome-based change management model for project adoption, structured around 5 key phases: Awareness, Buy-in, Knowledge, Ability, and Adoption. The Awareness phase establishes the context and drivers for change. Buy-in focuses on securing stakeholder acceptance and support. Knowledge involves educating stakeholders on the rationale for change and necessary new behaviors, supported by training and coaching. In the Ability phase, stakeholders commit to implementing and practicing the change. Finally, the Adoption phase ensures the integration of new practices into routines, fostering a culture of continuous improvement. The model visually represents the collaborative relationship between stakeholders and the project lifecycle, emphasizing effective change management.

Essential Tools for Effective Change Management

This PPT slide outlines 4 essential tools for effective change management: People Readiness, Communication, Engagement, and Leadership. People Readiness focuses on equipping individuals with skills and support systems to adapt to change. Communication fosters awareness and engagement among stakeholders, emphasizing impactful messaging. Engagement mobilizes key stakeholders, ensuring support for change and reducing resistance. Leadership inspires individuals by modeling necessary behaviors and demonstrating commitment to the change process. The visual representation of the change process includes preparing for, managing, and monitoring change, highlighting the tools' success as integral to the overall change strategy aligned with project timelines and adjustments.
