Managing change tips

	use a team approach that involves many stakeholders in the change management process
	recognise that managing change can only be achieved through people, and therefore change management must address their emotional needs
	recognise that managing change takes time and resources and results should not be expected too soon
	managing change needs skills and business awareness training, under investment is a false economy
	managing change plans are critical but they need to serve and not enslave, realise therefore that they will have to be adapted as needs and circumstances change
	be systematic when establishing and implementing managing change
	educate managing change sponsors and help them develop an "intellectual understanding" of new work practices
	remember that during change management performance often gets worse before improvement begins to appear, always reassure stakeholders that this is natural but that through their dedication improvement will be achieved
	share power and empower others to implement managing change
	seek out people who are interested in making substantial changes in working practice to champion managing change
	realise that in getting people ready for managing change there is a risk that taking to long could appear to be indecisive and consequently people will lose interest and motivation.
