Execute Sustainability Plan Change must be continually managed to achieve sustained results through adoption of the change and the associated values, principles, and processes. Execute Sustainability Plan should trigger activities and mechanisms required to cultivate a culture that will sustain the change once it has been implemented and determined to be effective and to help ensure there is not a retreat to the prior current state condition. Activities and mechanisms should minimally include the following components: Communication: Mechanisms for persuasive communication and ongoing socialization of the change, rites of parting (saying goodbye to the old ways of doing things), and rites of enhancement (acknowledgment of quick wins and continued adoption) Metrics Tracking: Consistent and effective process for sustaining measurement and results reporting to track progress and ensure results Performance Management: Consistent process for observing and objectively measuring sustained behaviors and attitudes, including the performance appraisal process; promoting, demoting, and transferring; and learning and development Rewards and Recognition: Program of intrinsic and extrinsic incentives to sustain achieved behaviors and attitudes Sustaining Ownership: Consistent process for ensuring sustained ownership of the change through the ongoing transfer of experience and knowledge Continuous Improvement: Mechanisms for responding to changing requirements and implementing improvements based on feedback, observations, and metrics Inputs Outputs Sustainability Plan Communication Events Measurement Baselines Benefits Reviews Business Performance Reports Evaluations and Reviews Modify the Change Management Plan as Required The Change Management Plan will generally require modification throughout the change lifecycle in order to ensure that outcomes remain correctly aligned with the organization’s needs. Change leaders need to review objectives and make the adjustments necessary to maintain momentum and deliver results. Adjustments may include adding, eliminating, or realigning change program components to reinforce the change or decrease or accelerate change in response to internal or external pressures. Changes to deliverables should be controlled through formal procedures that are aligned with the organization’s change control framework. Once a change to the Change Management Plan or Strategy has been approved, then the decision should be communicated to all relevant stakeholders.
