Ideally suited to:
Anyone who is responsible for change at work (and for those who will experience change). The activity highlights some of the key challenges and opportunities of the change process.
Organisations need to change in order to survive. Resistance to change can drag companies down.
In part one, participants working individually, complete a Change Questionnaire for discussion in plenary session with the Trainer. It serves to focus attention on change issues and bring any prejudices and mistaken ideas out into the open.
In part two participants, as management teams, have specific changes to implement in their organisation. How will they introduce change to staff, what and who will they take into account, how will they schedule the changes?
They must identify the key factors in bringing about a smooth implementation and decide on the best way of communicating with staff. At the end of the task teams present their ideas and plans, either in feedback sessions or, more dynamically, by presenting the changes as if addressing their target audience.
Ideal for putting theory into practice for managers who need to introduce change to their staff and want to avoid the obvious pitfalls.
- Issue Questionnaire to participants. Allow them time to fill these in and either lead a discussion on the issues raised or form teams (of 3-6) and let each team go through the issues.
- Hand out Team Briefs and allow teams time to study the scenario and prepare their presentations.
- Issue the Staff Survey after 30 minutes which gives teams additional information on what the ‘staff’ have to say about the forthcoming changes.
- Ask each team to present its findings and ideas either as a summary of their work or in the role of director addressing the employees.
- Lead a Debrief on the activity and the presentations. Discuss the key issues that should have emerged.
- Issue a handout summarizing the Key Points.
- Compare what happened in the activity with what typically happens within an organisation.
- (Optional) Ask teams to complete an Action Plan for introducing specific and real changes back at work.
