Reorgs Happen Dealing Elegantly with Organizational Change! ! Camille Fournier
@skamille
Reorgs
In less than 4 years, I experienced* 3 significant reorgs!
*survived!
Successful Companies Change As Needed!
As a Leader, How Can You Deal?
http://intenseminimalism.com/2015/a-framework-for-thinking-about-systems-change/!
Vision: Why Are We Doing This?! Lacking Vision, we have
CONFUSION
Skills: Do We Know How To Do What Needs To
Be Done?! Without Skills, You have Anxiety
Incentives: Why Should People Play Along?! Without Incentives, you get
Resistance
Resources: Do we have the time, energy, people to make
this work?! Without Resources, we have Frustration
Action Plan: How will we go about doing this?! Without
an Action Plan, we have False Starts
http://intenseminimalism.com/2015/a-framework-for-thinking-about-systems-change/!
YOUR ROLE
Understand and focus the Vision
Communicate the vision to your organization!
Advocate for the needs of your team!
Push Back on unrealistic expectations!
Create a Plan with Realistic Goals
Let Go
Case Study 1: The Straightforward and Simple!
Why are we doing this?! Element: Vision
Causes for Reorg Ineffective communication structures! Removing a
product or focus area! Adding a new product or focus area! Change in team size or makeup!
Clear Communication Solves Many Evils!! Even when they’re on board,
explaining the goals is key ! ! It is your job as the leadership to run this communication, having it trickle- down through management is usually a fail ! It Is ! ! ! ! ! ! Element: Skills
Case Study 2: A business-wide focus!
Advocate for your Team Make sure they have leadership roles
and growth opportunities! Element: Incentives
Set reasonable expectations based on capacity! If you don’t have
enough people for a team, say so! Element: Resources
Case Study 3: The never-ending planning!
A good plan requires setting clear goals Teams given the
same goal will have turf wars Element: Action Plan
None
Let Go The only constant is change
You don’t have to do this alone
Vision + Skills + Incentives + Resources + Action Plan
= SUCCESS!
Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose!
Thanks! @skamille
