I - Inspire the Need for Your Change Initiative: In this phase, you'll learn how to build a compelling case for change, crafting a robust strategy and, most importantly, igniting the spark of inspiration in your employees. The greatest change initiative is doomed to fail if your people aren't motivated by it, right?

You'll discover how to harness the power of collaboration between sponsors and your change management dream team to forge an unbreakable coalition.

S - Surface Resistance Proactively: No more surprises when resistance rears its head! You'll learn how to uncover and surface sources of resistance proactively. By studying past implementations, assessing the current change landscape, understanding resistance (including recognizing your own sources of resistance), and evaluating your team's readiness, you'll gain a profound understanding of resistance's role in change. You might even discover that resistance can be a powerful ally.

P - Plan Your Implementation: This phase focuses on fostering psychological safety, involving the right people, and crafting practical implementation plans. You'll learn the critical components of communication plan, social media plan, consequence management plan, resistance management plan, reward and recognition plan, etc. and also recognize when a change initiative is no longer viable, saving your organization precious time and resources.

I - Implement Your Change Initiative: Implementing your well-crafted plans is where the rubber meets the road. You'll explore real-world examples of both successful and failed implementation plans from across the globe. Dive into the art of leveraging people side of change, identifying early adopters, harnessing your organization's culture, and executing your plans efficiently. Plus, you'll learn how to track progress and adapt your strategies to meet your organization's evolving needs. And the cherry on top? Techniques for accelerating your change initiative.

R - Reinforce and Sustain: Did you know that over 70% of change initiatives lose steam or get abandoned after the initial excitement fades? This phase is your secret weapon for avoiding that fate. Discover how to embed your change initiative into your organization's culture, systems, and processes, rewarding and sustaining momentum, and ensuring lasting results.

E - Evaluate and Learn: Learn how to evaluate your change effort thoroughly using techniques like post-implementation reviews and retrospectives to uncover valuable insights that will benefit your organization and your successors.
