required consultation process in our Enterprise Agreement”.

“Soft side” drives success on “hard side”
• How much value does a new process deliver if no one follows it?
• How much value does a new technology or system deliver if no one uses it?
• How much benefit is realised if the people drift back to the “old ways”?
With a very large, negative ROI

“Most teams implemented, but the team in {Sydney} are still in transition.” “Key users are still struggling, they need more support.” “The new operating model has rolled out but teams are still operating in silos”. “There is a wide variation in the benefits being realised in different parts of the business.” “We need to start Phase 2 to capture all the expected benefits.”
Poll: What is the “people dependence” of the expected benefits of your change?
• Select a current or completed change
• Estimate the % of benefits that are dependent on “people doing their jobs differently”, i.e. adoption and usage.

What Is meant by Sponsorship?
• Actively and visibly participate throughout the project
• Build a coalition of sponsorship with peers and managers
• Communicate directly with employees
34
1. Participate Actively and Visibly
35
• Sponsorship is more than signing the check and launching the initiative
• Examples: – Set expectations and establish clear
objectives for the project
– Hold the team accountable for results
– Attend project review meetings frequently and actively monitor progress
Don’t be the vanishing sponsor!
2. Build a Sponsorship Coalition
• The coalition is not just an organization chart
• The coalition is based on ‘who is being impacted’
• Coalition building is a key role of effective change leaders

Messages • Why is the change happening? • What are the risks of not changing? • Why now? • How does this change align with our
strategy and direction?
Actions • Celebrate successes • Recognize individuals and groups • Manage resistance • Demonstrate commitment to
sustaining this change
Key challenges for change leaders
1. Time and focus – “normal job” and “change job”
2. Personal commitment – not delivering scripts or delegating
3. Courage to lead the “hard to love” changes.
