Course Overview

This three-day course provides attendees with the core concepts and leadership practices intrinsic to organizational change management, as well as strategies on how to gain employee commitment and overcome resistance. Participants will obtain knowledge of techniques for inspiring and leading staff to embrace and sustain change to keep the organization moving in the right direction.

The course also goes beyond concepts and, using the 20/20 change model, participants will engage in many practical exercises and case studies to apply best practices for leading change.

By using the 20/20 model as a framework, attendees will learn how to define why a change is necessary and why getting the right leadership support is important, as well as how to put together a detailed plan for the change, execute the change plan, and ensure the change is sustained in the organization. There is a lot of discussion about how to practically apply what you have learned in class to your organization.

What is the 20/20 Change Model?

The 20/20 change model is a four-phase model that first clarifies your organization’s business objectives, ensures the change initiative will align with the over-arching business objectives, and embeds the change within the culture and practices of the organization.

20/20 Change Model

Here are the four phases of the 20/20 Change Model:

Phase I – Clarify and Align

  • Pinpoint the business objectives that your project or team needs to align with and determine what needs to be done to realize these objectives, as well as whether it’s worthwhile to undertake this project right now.
  • Identify how this project will move the organization closer to achieving its business objectives, which will make it clear how near/far your team’s objectives are from those of the business.

Phase II – Plan and Approach

  • Determine the various steps that need to be taken to implement this change, including what needs to be done, by who, and with what resources.
  • Decide on an appropriate methodology and, as you proceed, continually validate progress to ensure you are on the right track.

Phase III – Engage and Implement

  • Determine how to engage with your people to empower them with everything they need to get the job done, as well as to accept and adapt to the change.
  • Remember that as a leader your job is to help others achieve stated goals.

Phase IV – Validate and Sustain

  • Determine if you have accomplished what you set out to do by:
    • Identifying key performance indicators at the outset and validating they are being achieved as you proceed.
    • Observing the impact of the change on customers and business goals.
    • Observing if employees are truly committed to the permanence of the change, working in a different and more efficient way, and if they are motivated to build on the change through additional improvements and benefits.
