Business transformation: what to look out for

How to implement change in an organisation? Changes always cause resistance, as the existing system does not make it easy to introduce new things. What methods will help to carry out business reforms as efficiently as possible, with the least resistance from the staff and turn the changes into a unifying factor in the development of the business and the team? How to make the innovations take root and make the process of change as painless as possible? What is the most important thing in business transformation? We will talk about it today in a new publication in the blog of LLC «ElectraQuix».
Clear goals
Understanding how to properly implement change and what kind of change is needed is based on a clear definition of the goals to be achieved and the strategy to achieve them. Then it will be clear what changes, how and when to make, and most importantly - for what. This will be the strategy for change.

Change is not needed for the sake of change, its purpose is to achieve some other goal. And this is the most important thing. After all, as it happens: the process of transformation has been started, it is in full swing, but the understanding of the final goal is completely absent not only from the simple staff, but even from the general director and the owner. A clear understanding of the end goal is the foundation. But it does not mean that the process will be successful and smooth. We know that reforms are almost always implemented with a creak, because the established system, no matter how ineffective it is, offers serious resistance.

Important factors

So, what do you need to consider when making a business transformation? Remember.

  • Creating a unified information field. General team meetings on strategic development issues and the distribution of information on their results work well.
  • Clarification. Providing information not only about the decisions that entail change, but also about the logic behind them.
  • Involvement. Solutions imposed from the outside always cause resistance, so it is very important to involve the entire staff in the process of introducing changes. In this regard, involving the maximum number of employees in the development of proposals and decision-making works well. Naturally, with the right tools, without idle talk. For example, with the help of strategy sessions.
  • Feedback. Correction of decisions and actions taking into account the reaction to the changes.
  • Having a leader - someone who is able to unite inspire and enthuse the team.
  • Clear and precise goals. If the team knows where and why the leader is leading them, they will work more effectively.
Systemic
When implementing reforms in business, it is necessary to act comprehensively and consistently, to see the whole picture and to move at a good pace, but not to get ahead of the curve. Changes should, as they call it, mature. Simply announcing that from tomorrow we work differently will not work. You need to consolidate the changes at the level of skills, and this takes time. It is necessary to understand the order of actions: something should be launched in parallel, and something should be launched sequentially. In addition, a leader should act systematically, keep his hand on the pulse and monitor the process, otherwise efforts and time will be wasted. Comprehensive and consistent action is the key to successful implementation of change.
