Due to pressure from Wall Street, your company has had to change its strategy.
The problem is your current culture is still aligned with the old strategy,
which is at odds with your new direction. To make matters more difficult,
people, by nature, are creatures of habit and don't want to change the way they
have been operating for the past fifteen years. How do you determine what type
of culture will support your new strategy? How do convince others of the need
for change and get their buy-in? How do you institute change and hold others
accountable for it?
Solution:
For a strategy to be successful, the culture must be aligned with it. The Culture
Change Management solution involves the assessment of the
current culture and a subsequent "gap analysis" comparing the current culture
against where it needs to be to support the strategy. The organization culture
is then broken down at an individual-behavior level. A Communication Plan
is developed to help articulate the need for culture change in a clear and
motivating manner. In turn, individual behavior change necessary for culture
change is communicated in terms of management expectations and consequences.
Thus, motivation and accountability for culture change are achieved. This
solution will yield the following benefits:
