Everyone should trust you, no questions asked! <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Being vague about the reasons for change is an approach that limits employee understanding and support. On the contrary, it’s essential to take the time to clearly explain the reasons behind the change.<\/p>\n Be sure that people are more likely to accept and support change when they understand the context and reasons behind it.<\/p>\n Giving meaning to change helps employees to reduce uncertainty and confusion, and to become actively involved in its implementation. Providing a frame of reference helps to create an organizational culture<\/strong> that values change and innovation, a genuine culture of change that encourages people to be more open to future changes, and to see them as opportunities rather than threats.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ background_color=”#f7fbff” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”5%|5%|5%|5%|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ border_radii=”on|23px|23px|23px|23px” locked=”off” inline_fonts=”Roboto” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n The “why” before the “how”:<\/strong><\/p>\n Before describing what will change, always explain why the status quo is no longer tenable.

Clearly, it requires a thoughtful, strategic approach to maximize the chances of success: transparent communication, active stakeholder involvement, appropriate training and the ability to deal with the unexpected. <\/p>\n These ten mistakes have one thing in common: they can all be avoided, provided that change management<\/strong> is integrated into the project from the outset and not at the end.<\/p>\n Whether you’re managing an HRIS rollout<\/strong>, an organizational overhaul<\/strong> or a digital transformation<\/strong>, human support is not an option: it’s what determines whether your investments produce the expected results.<\/p>\n For large-scale projects, integrating a knowledge management<\/a> dimension also enables you to capitalize on the knowledge you have acquired, and to perpetuate best practices.<\/p>\n SQORUS supports organizations in their transformation projects with a method specifically developed to combine methodological rigor and the human dimension.<\/p>\n Are you preparing a transformation project and want to structure your change management approach?
