Implementation: Building and creating momentum

Implementation is an interesting time, not only is ther a high level of commitment when done right, there is also an opportunity for a large amount of creativity to be unleashed. It is during this time when we want to get employees on board as quickly as possible, generating new ideas, products and structures.
To get the new messages across and further the vision, especially when divisions are involved, we either use locally based Future Searches and shared visioning techniques, or on a larger scale, Open Space Technology, along with planning activities and communication exercises It is during this time, too, that it is essential a new info structure is supported and IT is fully involved. Furhermore, as this a time of change, it is important that ther is lots of communication as to what is going on the organiziton, lots of positive feedback and support for dualities.

Important to focus on:

Taking Responsibility
Defines what has to be done and who is going to do it. Establishing the foundation for change.

Communication
Good communication is not only an essential part of leadership, but is necessary in the change process internally and externally. It keeps people informed, spreads good news and eliminates/reduces rumours

Dualities
When you in the throws of change, you still have an old organization, structure and priorities to maintain, while your zest and energy is moving toward the new.

Feedback
Feedback is an important factor for employee motivation, morale and personal growth. It is essential for successful change.

Conflict solving
Many conflicts are in reality a misunderstanding: people do not always have the same meanings for the same words.While information in written form or through the internet is emortnat, it is not sufficient in itself. You need a personal dialogue with the stakeholders, between teams and amang management.

Teamwork
Often there is a goal conflict between individual performance and remuneration and the need for cross-cultural and multi-disciplinary teamwork. In order to prevent conflict in your teams we will help you establish a shared vision, discuss mutual expectations, success criteria and possible pitfalls early on.
