Change Management vs Mortality

'Changes' abound in the corporate world, political world and cultural world. To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, nothing changes in this world except for the certainty of 'death and taxes'.

Except, today I read on the BBC it appears a Russian millionaire by the name of Dmitry Itskov plans to challenge the concept of death by 'uploading' his brain onto a computer. And promises that within the next 30 years we can all live forever! I guess that means we only have to worry about 'tax' from now on!

The 7Cs Of Change...

You may find yourself tasked with implementing a transformation on your own or as part of a team.  In either event, a framework to follow can provide guidance and discipline.   Such a framework should allow each member of the team to align around a common goal, establish that each member undertakes their specific tasks whilst supporting the wider group and ensure that all necessary components for any change are in place so that there is no weakest link.

The 7Cs Of Change is Change Management framework to support the delivery of Business Transformations:

Change Clarity : Defining Change

Change Coordination : Planning the Change

Change Capability : Building capability for the Change

Change Commitement : Creating buy-in for the Change

Change Champion : Creating Change Champions

Change Communication : Communicating the Change

Change Cementation : Making the Change stick

The above 7Cs Of Change are necessary components of any business transformation.  And for each of these Cs Of Change there are supporting tools to help ensure that the change itself and the acceptance of it are aligned in support of each other to deliver effective and sustainable transformation.

Each of the 7Cs are equally important, but each one may be of different priority to the project team at different times.  The sequence of priorities can be defined via a change diagnostics.
