| Motivation is Key When Implementing Organizational Changes Planning and implementing change in a corporation is always a challenge. Diagnosing its complexity and magnitude should be the first activity when designing an intervention. Creating a need and readiness for change are key elements in leading projects. Overcoming any resistance from employees is anticipated when managing and sustaining an intervention. Formalizing the purpose and communicating the vision clarifies the basis for planned interventions, but evidence proves that individuals resist change when faced with uncertainty. Individuals must first understand the need for change, and they must be focused and supported with compelling reasons. The ultimate goal is for employees to recognize its importance, and by doing so, embrace the change and commit energy to it. In order for employees to immerse themselves with any program, they must devote serious efforts to recognize the meaning and the implications for the desired future state of the organization. Leaders are responsible to communicate the vision. They must take action to involve their subordinates in the visioning process and make certain that their subordinates acknowledge the new direction. Leaders must solidify the vision for the desired future of the corporation and communicate how the organization should look like. Organizational changes should be driven by the company’s purpose and values. Employees should have the intrinsic motivation to follow the envisioned future. Change is necessary in order for organizations to incorporate and deliver high valued products and services offered to customers. Conveying positive expectations and demonstrating the outcomes as a result of planned changes should become a motivating factor for managers. Motivation is a key activity when designing and implementing a change program. Communicating the benefits of change, and involving organization members in the design of the intervention and experiencing the outcome, are all favourable fundamentals that support positive expectations. |
