This document discusses how to optimize behavior change initiatives for business impact. It notes that while companies spend significant resources on change initiatives, only about 50% are considered successful according to surveys. The key factor in determining success is behavior change within the organization. However, most companies do not effectively sustain behavior change over time. The document recommends focusing on aligning stakeholders before training, choosing the right learning content and methods, and sustaining behavior change after training through tools, metrics and manager support. It provides examples of how to improve focus on aligning, equipping and sustaining employees to drive lasting behavior change that achieves business goals.

The Critical Role of Communication for Change Management Sponsors Change management
sponsors are the executives or senior leaders with authority to drive change forward in an
organization. Active and visible sponsorship tops the list of key contributors to successful change
initiatives. A global leader in change management, Prosci has studied these contributors in all 11
editions of its Best Practices in Change Management report, and sponsorship came out on top in
every single one. Sponsorship is so important that it beat out the second contributor (a structured
change management approach) by a 4:1 margin in the most recent report. We cannot overstate
the role change management sponsors play in effectively managing change in organizations. They
are responsible for building support, enlisting help from other leaders and motivating change
participants. Purposeful and consistent communication is the tool sponsors must use to provide
context for the change and bring employees on board. Employees and leaders are far more likely
to engage in a change when they understand what it means to them and why its necessary.
Ineffective sponsors often rush through change, failing to facilitate understanding and build
support through frequent and clear communication. Communication considerations for change
management sponsors The purpose of employing communication as one of the key areas of
change management is to disseminate information to the intended group of people. There are
many forms of communication channels available within an organization including employee
portals, newsletters, emails, static and non-static media as well as face to face communications.
Many organization misunderstood the change communication as a process of mediating instead of
intermediating. To have effective communication, information needs to be interpreted and
reinterpret them into ideas and processes that are easy to understand, thus applying the mediating
technique. While using the communication channels, its best to incorporate latest technologies
albeit social network and video conferencing to enhance outreach to employees. However,
although it is the management's decision to establish any means of communication channels
deemed effective, one must avoid a typical top-down and one way conduits approach while using
these communication facilities to avoid a breakdown in communication. Communication helps
change management sponsors explain the vision for the change to create necessary buy-in.
Sponsors that adopt the following communication practices can better articulate the why, what and
so what of the change, increasing the chances that employees will understand and activate the
behaviors needed for success. 1. Communicate the why People, by nature, are resistant to
change. They first need convincing that the change is important and worth the energy it will take to
implement it. Beehives change model of choice, identifies 2. Awareness as th.

Organizational Change Consulting In unit one the discussio.docxalfred4lewis58146
Organizational Change Consulting
In unit one the discussion centered around the reinvention and culture of the
organization, the way business is conducted. This unit shifts the focus to what people
do by examining the role of an organizational development consultant, the diagnostic
process, and peoples’ resistance to change.
The OD Consultant
A change agent is a person or team responsible for beginning and maintaining a change
effort. Change agents may come from inside an organization, in which case they are
called internal consultants, or they may come from outside an organization, in which
case they are called external consultants. The role of the organizational development
(OD) consultant is to initiate, stimulate, and facilitate change. William Bridges
explains that things change but people transition (as cited in Montgomery, 2009). The
OD consultant is therefore concerned primarily with the people aspect of the change
events.
One of the basic roles of the consultant is to facilitate and teach the client how to
identify the problem, diagnose and solve the problem. This reduces the dependency of
the client on the consultant but also empowers the client and is associated with higher
corporate buy-in rates.
Clearly, OD consultants must have a number of skills in order to be successful. In
particular, consultants need to possess both leadership and management expertise. In a
leadership role, consultants should be able to facilitate rather than direct, keep
information flowing, and use multiple methods on a consistent basis.
Problem solving is another skill an effective consultant hones. He or she has to be able
to identify and focus on the next set of problems. Organizations and processes
experience flux, which often results in new and unanticipated problems, which cannot
be ignored. Inherent to the skill of problem solving, however, is valid diagnosis. So
how does an organizational consultant accurately decipher root problems?
The Diagnostic Process
The diagnosis is a two-fold process: an assessment of the variables, and a report on
possible corrective interventions. Diagnosis involves gathering data, interpreting the
data, identification of problem areas and options for solutions. Diagnostic tools consist
of interviews, surveys, instruments, observation and review of public records. To
many, diagnosis is the most important stage. Success or failure of change strategies is
dependent on several things but accurate diagnosis is critical. Failure to address the
root cause or intervening in processes that were previously fully functional is
inappropriate and costly change, but if the problem is properly diagnosed and the
intervention strategy appropriate, why can change still be so difficult for organizations
to enact smoothly?
Resistance to Change
Change is often problematic unless the cause and solution are readily transparent.
Generally speaking, change is.
This communication plan outlines a 4 phase process for communicating organizational change: 1) Preapproval, 2) Creating need for change, 3) Midstream change communication, 4) Confirming success. Various technologies will be used including projectors, email, surveys, and video conferencing. Effectiveness will be tested using 360 degree feedback and comparing goals to accomplishments. Feedback will be generated through surveys, blogs, and assessments to enable continuous improvement. Negative responses will be addressed through open communication and using resistance as an opportunity for more communication. The plan aims to increase engagement, provide reassurance, and restore reputation through an experienced approach.

Quality Tool Analysis
The supply chain management sphere has an issue when considering a pharmacy facility organization. The problem with the pharmaceutical supply chain operations has resulted from all individuals lacking access to the most noteworthy quality medication and in addition keep up levels in medical care that occurs in the arrangement of supplying medicine, notwithstanding giving the improvement of new knowledge, aptitudes and systems that invigorate the advancement of medicine supply chain management. The quality tool used to recognize these issues is data collection sheet which gathers the essential information to have the capacity to answer any inquiries that may emerge. The quintessence of the data is that the reason for existing is apparent and that the data mirrors the fact of the matter, is anything but difficult to gather and utilize. A quantitative method was used to gather the data. The data collection sheet is being used in the dispersion of factors of the articles delivered, classification of broken things locating of the defects of the pieces, recognizing reasons for deformities and verification check or support undertakings (Awad, 2012).
To arrive at the problem, a questionnaire was utilized together with the data collection sheet. There was a clear framework on how data was to be gathered and with what sort of document will be made and how the gather data ought to be utilized. How the data will be analyzed was additionally sketched out, and the individual who ought to oversee gathering the data was distinguished. For the optimization of data accumulation, Sharp and McDermott (2009) suggest that the data collection be finished by an experienced auditor and in an arbitrary example of the exercises, of the general population and of the groups of the territories that they ought to be observed. The association recognized an experienced auditor was utilized to gather data and examine it since they have a high likelihood of giving precise data.
Stakeholder Analysis
Commonly, as an expert, one needs to think the what before the who when confronting an undertaking. Along these lines, they underscore the deliverables instead of the general population. The principal procedure of the communication knowledge zone, to be executed in the initiation of the task, is to identify the individuals with an interest.
One method for this procedure is partner examination, which a procedure of systematically collecting and investigating quantitative and qualitative data with the end goal to figure out what premiums specific must be considered all through the venture. It permits to recognize the interests, expectations, and impact of the interested individuals and relates them to the motivation behind the underta.

This document discusses organizational development (OD), which is defined as a long-term effort to improve an organization's ability to cope with changes through problem-solving and adapting to new challenges. The goals of OD include increasing self-responsibility, optimizing systems, managing conflict effectively, and enhancing member identification. The key processes involve planning changes, altering individual and group attitudes/habits, and solving operational problems. Common techniques are diagnostic activities, team building, sensitive training, survey feedback, and intergroup development. OD aims to create organic systems through collaborative relationships and planned, experiential change processes.

Communication Strategy to Influence Change
Communication Strategy to Influence Change
A communication strategy sets the direction that guides an intervention to achieve the desired change. It allows partners and stakeholders to provide input and agree on the best way forward alongside having a map that can be referred to at the various stages of the intervention implementation. The participation of all stakeholders involved in the change process is essential to ensure a common understanding of the change's contents, obtain feedback, and obtain a commitment to the change process. Without an effective communication plan, the change initiative may not go beyond the inception stage. This paper will identify and recommend effective communication strategies and illustrate how they support change across institutions.
Communication Strategies Used to Influence and Manage Change
An effective communication strategy keeps all stakeholders motivated and on-board during the change process (Smith, 2017). The following are fundamental communication principles that would positively impact change at St, Catherine College. First of all, ensure everyone understands your message of change by being honest, specific, and relatable in your language. Only communicate the relevant information concisely and with no ambiguity. Secondly, validate your instincts regarding the desired change with data. For instance, if you feel that your team isn't engaged in the change process, you can walk around and talk to your colleagues to establish why they are hesitant regarding the change. That way, you will be able to go back to the drawing board and make amends as per the data collected.
Thirdly, having a feedback mechanism helps while rolling out the change initiative. This entails incorporating the input of team members in decision-making. Ideally, change targets, internal and external stakeholders, and they should be given a chance to contribute to the desired change. It is crucial to make sure the concerned department necessitating change within an institution owns the stakeholders' feedback. The fourth strategy to use to influence change is by taking a proactive approach. Prepare to handle anything that comes up in the future, whether positive and negative. Have a consultative discussion with team members and discuss what everyone perceives may negatively impact the change process. Afterward, move to a positive action bearing in mind that the negative impact may be persistent. Finally, technology can be leveraged to create a behavioral adjustment that aligns with the desired change.
Using Communication Strategies to Build Collaborations
Effective partnering cannot take place without the support of a good communication strategy. This means that collaborating teams will have to set out roles and responsibilities to ensure clarity of each one's contribution to the process. In the College of St. Catherine's case, the hea ...
This document summarizes the key findings from a study analyzing data on implementing multi-source feedback in professional pharmacy courses. Data was collected through questionnaires given to students, interviews with instructors and simulated patients, and observations of student consultations. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics and charts. It was found that students generally agreed there was sufficient time for feedback, and that receiving feedback from peers was useful. However, some expressed uncertainty around how the feedback would be used. The study highlights challenges in implementing multi-rater feedback and ensuring feedback is used constructively.

2. The Communication Plan
Preapproval Phase: Timing is
crucial and involvement of others
at right time relates t the
successful selling of projects.
Developing the need for change
Phase: Creating awareness of the
need for change, explain the issues
and provide a clear compelling
rationale for the change.
Midstream change Phase: People
need to understand the progress
made in the change program.
Confirming the change Phase:
Communicate and celebrate the
success of the program. Cawsey,
Deszac, & Ingols, 2012).
3. Technology Needed to Accomplish
the Plan

(Evaluating training Effectiveness,
2003)
5. Impact of Management’s
Response
Influencing others is a key concern for
change leaders when working the plan.
It involves consideration of how they
can bring various stakeholders on-side
with the change.
Force field analysis change agents to
specify the forces for against change.
Stakeholder analysis and stakeholder
maps ask that key players be identified
and the relationship among players.
Influencing people one at a time or in
small groups can be valuable if
influential individuals are identified
and the right message is communicated
to them. Cawsey, Deszac, & Ingols,
2012)
6. Feedback for Continuous
Improvement
A powerful use of survey is an approach called survey
feedback: it is an action research method developed by
organizational development (OD) practitioners as a way
to simulate and advance conversations and insight
concerning what is going on in the organization, how
members are feeling, and how thing can be improved.
Use the opportunity to enrich the assessment of the data
and their interpretation and explore the implications for
action.
Survey feedback is used to raise awareness and
understanding, advance the analysis, and build support
and commitment for actions that will benefit both the
individuals and the organization. Cawsey, Deszac, &
Ingols, 2012).
7. Addressing Negative
Responses or
Communication
about Change
Change needs to be
articulated and specific
steps of the plan that will
be undertaken need to
clarified.
If the organization is being
reorganized employees will
want to understand how
this reorganization will
affect their jobs.
When implementing
change, leaders should use
extensive communication
to foster employee support
and alleviate dysfunctional
resistance. Cawsey,
Deszac, & Ingols, 2012)
8. How your Communication Plan can
Affect Organizational Change
By mobilizing commitment to change
through joint diagnosis of business
problems.
Developing a shared vision of how to
organize and mange for competitiveness.
Foster a consensus for the new vision,
competence to enact it, and cohesion to
move it along.
Spread revitalization to all departments
without pushing it from the top.
Institutionalize revitalization through
formal policies, systems, and structures.
Monitor and adjust strategies in response
to problems in the revitalization process.

Editor's Notes
Scenario:
Goldman Sachs want to change its’ approach of hiring people. They are looking to recruit fresh new faces, new ideas, and people who have recently graduated from a university and ready to work at the investment bank. The problems arise from Goldman Sachs current process of recruitment needs to be restructured. Some are for the change of hiring in this new way while others rather spend long hour weeding through paper resumes, conducing phone screens and then selecting candidates for interviews. On-the-other hand Goldman Sachs would like to save time, energy, and money and eliminate subconscious biases disqualify diversity in global society. Goldman Sachs needs to get the hiring personnel on board and guiding them through the changes and training will prove itself to be the best investment for everyone.
A communication plan has four phases:
Prechange approval Phase: Communication plan to sell top management.
Developing the need for change phase: Communication plans to explain the need for change, provide rationale, reassure employees.
Midstream change Phase: Communication plans to inform people of progress and to obtain feedback on attitudes and issues to challenge any misconceptions, and to clarify new organizational roles, structures, and systems.
Confirming/celebrating the change success: Communication plans to inform employees of the success, to celebrate the change, and to prepare the organization for the next change. Cawsey, Deszac, & Ingols, 2012)
Change agents need to match the communication challenge with the communications selected such as surveys. Surveys capture people’s opinions and track them over time to assist in identifying what needs changing or in tracking a change project. (Cawsey, 2012, p 307). Channel richness ranges from standard reports, and general information through the channels of emails, personalized letters, telephone conversations, video conferencing, and face to face communications at the other end. (Cawsey, Deszac, & Ingols, 2012)
An evaluation at each level answers whether a fundamental requirement of the training program was met. It's not that conducting an evaluation at one level is more important that another. All levels of evaluation are important. In fact, the Kirkpatrick model explains the usefulness of performing training evaluations at each level. Each level provides a diagnostic checkpoint for problems at the succeeding level. So, if participants did not learn (Level 2), participant reactions gathered at Level 1 (Reaction) will reveal the barriers to learning. Now moving up to the next level, if participants did not use the skills once back in the workplace (Level 3), perhaps they did not learn the required skills in the first place (Level 2). (Evaluating training Effectiveness, 2003)
A stakeholder analysis identifies people who are critical to the change process. Change agents need to consider how they propose to encourage those individuals to move along the adoption continuum until the needed stakeholders are aligned with the change, or at least their opposition has been minimized. Cawsey, Deszac, & Ingols, 2012).
Surveys captures people’s attitudes, opinions, and experiences at a particular point in time and then possibly track those attitudes over time.
Surveys provides anonymity to the respondents and make it possible to capture the opinions of a larger proportion of the participants than might otherwise be possible.
Surveys make it possible for people to say things that they would not feel comfortable stating publically
Surveys feedback involves sharing the results with the individual affected by the finding.
Creating a sense of fairness, trust, and confidence in the leadership and interest and enthusiasm for the initiative is important to the success of change initiatives.
Cawsey, Deszac, & Ingols, 2012)
