Introduction
What is transformation?

“Adaptation to a more challenging market environment through
fundamental reforms to business processes.”
Introduction
Why does transformation fail?
Management too eager for success.

 Flow of change is too fast or has no natural progression.
 Deviations from a previously healthy onset of change.

Lack of Structurally-Managed Pathway of Change

Solution:

John P. Kotter’s 8 distinct steps of change.
The 8 Stages of a Change Process
1. Establishing a sense of urgency
Change makers are too impatient, want to implement
change quickly
Underestimate the lack of urgency
People do not want to get out of their comfort zones or being
paralysed by risk

Making an impact to the 75%
The 8 Stages of a Change Process
2. Form a coalition
Getting people together for a cause
Requires key “leaders” to succeed

Powerful Coalition =
The 8 Stages of a Change Process
3. Creating a vision
A vision says something that clarifies the direction in
which an organisation needs to move. (Kotter, 1995)

Developing strategies to achieve that vision

The 8 Stages of a Change Process
7. Consolidate improvements and

produce still more change
Prepare for a Long-Drawn Process

 Cultural change can take 5-10 years
 Leaders should use the newfound credibility to tackle
even bigger problems
Avoid Premature Declaration of Successful Change
 Kills change momentum
 People return to old practices as change not sunk in
 Change resistors seize opportunity to reverse change
The 8 Stages of a Change Process
8. Institutionalize new approaches
Demonstrate how new approaches, behaviours and
attitudes have helped improve performance
 Important to let people know the true drivers of
change
Make the next generation of top management personify

What’s the Link?
Myths of change
 Change is a one-time effort
 Change the organization first to carry out change
 Systems and technology are mandatory to carry out effective change
 If management sees the need for change, then it is evident to everyone
 If you know what requires change, just do it
 Carry out all changes at one time to avoid disruptions
 Change is positive and so it should be widely supported
 You only need to involve a limited number of key employees to implement change

Plagiarized from IS4203 Lecture 2 slide 18
What’s the Link?
Why change fails
 Change is not thought through or planned
 Outsourcing of organizational change

 Failure to address critical shadow systems
 Change is driven top-down only
 Over-reliance on one leader
 Lack of localization of change efforts

 Issues and problems surfaced not addressed quickly
 Fuzzy measurements to determine success or failure
 Change management stops after change is implemented

Editor's Notes

  • #6: 1. Establishing a sense of urgency to everyone before making a change.Managers are too impatient: they want change to be implemented quickly. However, they underestimate the lack of urgency and that people do not like to get out of their comfort zones. To being the change process effectively, they need to make an impact on everyone and let everyone feel the same sense of urgency as them. In the article, a CEO deliberately engineer the largest accounting loss in the history of the firm to make an impact on his staff.
  • #7: Forming a CoalitionSo after your establish a sense of urgency in the people of your organisation, the next logical thing to do is to get them together for a cause. This is where you form the “coalition”. A successful requires key leaders to succeed. Leaders in this context refers to the head of the organisation/department level that the change is going to be implemented. However, persuading them may not be easy as some people just do not buy the idea of the change, especially senior executives. Thus you need stage one to succeed before reaching this stage. Finally, a powerful coalition usually succeeds so what does are the factors that constitute a powerful coalition? Titles, information, expertise, reputation, relationships and basically anything that can facilitate the change.
  • #8: Forming a VisionA vision is essentially the compass of change according to the definition by Kotter in his article. A vision should be easy to communicate and appeals to customers, stockholders & the employees of the organisation. That is why the coalition will have to refine the vision for a significant amount of time, usually 3 to 12 months and come up with the final vision. Then they will develop the strategies that are aligned to achieving that vision.
  • #9: At this stage, the idea is to utilise every possible channel to communicate the vision to the rest of the company. It may sound simple, but the task of communicating the vision has to be consistent and done on a day-to-day basis. Examples of channel include: meetings, monthly newsletter, routine discussions, emails, etc.
