Every organization wants a
culture that is adaptive and dynamic. No wonder
culture change is a priority task that some executives are
eager to take on and hundreds of consultants are just too
happy to oblige with their fuzzy methodologies.
Typically the results are either non-existent or disastrous
— of course, most of the sponsoring executives and
their consultants never admit to the brutal fact that
changing an organizational culture is very difficult.
(By now you are probably wondering, "Does Change Management Center
not want our business?")
The truth is that Change Management Center. is dedicated
to helping you avoid one of the most common pitfalls of
change management.

Theory ZYX states that over
the long term, an organization's culture is the underpinning
of everything that happens. Theory ZYX lays out a
clear road map that can be applied to create or strengthen a
high performance, nimble culture capable of refocusing and
redefining itself to meet ever-changing demands in an
organization.
|
Theory ZYX states that if the
objective is short term results, every effort should be made
to devise a plan that does not call for culture change.
For short term results, culture change should be a part of
the strategy only if there is no other alternative. In
such a case, the plan must not underestimate the difficulty
of culture change over a short period and must specifically
identify the measures to overcome the difficulties of
culture change.
|
Theory ZYX further states that to be
successful at change, organizational context is very
important, and therefore, Theory ZYX calls for the
customization of the details of the framework within the
prescribed boundaries for each specific situation.
The reason you want culture change is because you want to
meet certain objectives. It is always preferable to
figure out how to meet the objectives through proper Change
Management but without changing the culture. Change Management Center. helps you bring what you want to accomplish and in what
time frame into sharp focus. Change Management Center
applies Theory ZYX to determine if your objectives are
realistic. After all, there is no sense in embarking
on an initiative that is not likely to succeed.
