Season 5 - Episode 35 - The four stage Change Management Process

Change is rarely linear, so why do we keep trying to manage it as though it is?

In this episode of Next Level Change Success, Therese explores the four stages of the My Virtual Change Manager change process: Planning, Assess & Design, Implement & Reinforce, and Review & Learn.

You’ll discover how these stages can work alongside both traditional project methodologies and Agile ways of working, why detailed impact assessment matters, and how the quality of your upstream change activities can dramatically influence what happens at go-live.

Therese also explores an important distinction every change practitioner needs to understand: change practitioners facilitate reinforcement, but leaders remain accountable for reinforcing change with their teams.

You’ll learn why go-live is not the finish line, how change dashboards and adoption measures can support reinforcement, why change practitioners should frame concerns as risks rather than simply problems. And one of the often not talked about phases is how a strong Review & Learn process can increase organisational change maturity over time.

Whether you’re a change practitioner, project manager, business analyst, subject matter expert or leader responsible for implementing change, this episode will help you think differently about where you are in the change journey and what needs to happen next.

Because change management isn’t about blindly following a process. It’s about knowing where to focus so you can connect people, purpose and performance.
