Change: Summary
Organizational change management is important to
plan and manage.
Susceptibility to change depends on the urgency of
the situation and the influence and credibility of the
change agent.
Individuals vary in their response to change.
Understanding individual receptivity is important when
deciding how to allocate change resources.
There are a variety of change levers. No one lever
works effectively in all situations. The sequence of
levers is important.
Professional and social networks are important when
facilitating change. Sometimes convincing groups can
be more powerful than targeting individuals.
