Organisational changes can be driven by many things – acquisitions, mergers, reductions or IT implementations – and as the pace of change quickens and market demands increase, organisations are under intense pressure to transform processes, systems and job functions quickly and smoothly. However, issues such as inconsistent approaches, conflicting projects, mixed messages, unwillingness to change and internal politics can impede the success of change initiatives.
Whether it is the implementation of a new IT system, AI adoption, organisational redesign, acquisitions or processes, correct and effective implementation does not in itself lead to benefit realisation. Benefit realisation only happens when the right solution is implemented effectively and used as intended. This requires active management, appropriate organisational structures, stakeholder engagement and the necessary competencies and motivation.
Striking the right balance between optimising structure and processes while guiding employees through a period of uncertainty is a complex task. Active collaboration with management becomes integral, addressing organisational structure, procedures, processes and employee capabilities and motivation.
Neglecting proper change management during a transformation can lead to increased resistance, decreased employee morale and hindered organisational adaptability, ultimately threatening the success and sustainability of the intended changes
