The success of any change depends upon setting solid foundations. Obtaining buy-in and protecting the organisations culture will be critical and this can only be done with clear and consistent communication and transparency. Everyone will want to know the purpose behind the creation of a Change Team. Once they understand the challenge faced by the organisation and the importance with which the Leadership see the project they will throw themselves behind it. Defining roles and explaining how decisions will be made are critical to getting the buy in from people. A key and skilled role is that of the Project Manager who will need to facilitate the Change Team and manage the change through all stages of the process. Finally you will need to work out dates and times for the workshops. This will enable the Leadership, Project Manager and Change Team Members to be clear on when they will meet to allow everyone to plan ahead.
