Managing Change Introduction
Whether you are an executive, supervisor, coach, consultant, project team leader or manager of any type where your job is to manage people, you are likely to experience resistance to change from employees.
Managers often do not recognize the role that they can play in preventing that resistance and leading change. Most managers do not make this connection until they have personally experienced failure in an important change project.
This Element is about managing change and is divided into three sections. Theses are:
- Diagnosis
- The Change Process and
- Understanding Your Current Situation
Each of these sections should be taken in about 20 minute dips of study time. We also have a library of resource materials where you can find out more about managing change as well as a series of case studies of organisations that have been through the change process. These are important and will allow you to develop the knowledge you have gained through the Elements.
The Library for Managing Change has a number of resources that you can explore in order to find out more about the subject. These include web sites with useful information and articles and books that are concerned with Managing Change. However these are just some examples of the resources available. They are not an exhaustive list. We hope that you will begin to do your own research as you explore this subject. To help you do this we have added a search facility in the Library area where you can find out what other materials are available through the Internet. Learn to use the search facility by experimenting, as it is a very useful and important tool.
The Case Studies will be developed and added to over time so that you can find real life situations where managing change has been done well or badly. We would also welcome case study material that you may have so that we can share it with others.
