Strategic/Change Management
Preparing for Change
When change is needed consider the way the organization operates today and envision how things will be different when the change you are charged with leading is successfully implemented. In evaluating this vision, focus on the gap between the present and the imagined future. Six "levers of change" (Price Waterhouse, 1995) serve as a filter for this analysis:
- Markets and Customers - How do we view and segment our markets and customer base?
- Products and Services - Must the scope and variety of our products and services be different? Are revised strategic alliances and partnerships necessary?
- Business Processes - How will changes in business processes impact performance requirements at the various levels of the organization?
- People and Reward Systems - What kinds of people will the new environment require? How will the culture need to adapt to support the new way?
- Structure and Facilities - Will the organizational structure require changes? Are new or updated facilities required? "HOW" DCS does it [back to services]
