My personal change management check list

Here is my check list of issues I think lead to failure of many an improvement initiative

• Have you defined the change in terms of improvements and outcomes that the organization can understand?
• Have you identified a named “sponsor” for the project ?
• How are you going to keep the sponsor engaged for the project?
• Have you selected the right project team?
• How do you keep the project team engaged and motivated to undertake the project?
• Have you decided the right project implementation approach?
• What channels have you provided to surface and then manage resistance?
• What mechanisms have you established to reinforce change?
