We all know that 60-80% of all change projects fail. It is time to change how we look at change.
Holger Nauheimer, known worldwide as one of the key innovators in the change management field and one of intercultures’ network partners, has recently announced a new approach to change in organizations: The Change Journey.
The concept radically departs from the blueprint approach of traditional change management models and is based on the fact that no two change processes are alike. Holger and his colleague Vesa Purokuru have designed a tool that serves as a guide through such a journey – the Change Journey Map.
With the Change Journey Map, individuals, teams and entire organizations are enabled to
- initiate an open dialogue about the required change,
- find common ground on the principles of the transformative process,
- identify priority areas for intervention,
- select the appropriate tools for driving that change, and
- create a list of required actions in order to make change successful and sustainable.
The Change Journey
The Change Journey Map is a tool for change leaders. It helps to refocus on the essential skill of facilitators: to ask questions which matter and which open up new perspectives. The Change Journey concept is compatible with any other organizational development philosophy and can be enriched by all other existing change management toolkits.
