 The
first question you need to ask yourself is "What do I need to do
today, do I need to manage a change or do I need to manage a transition ?" For there is a
difference of type between change management and transition management.
-
The change is what you need to bring about if you want your organization
to continue to be successful.
- The transition management is the psychological
process the people and the organization will need to manage in order
to make that change stick.
- Transition Management is how you need
to manage that change and the people involved in it if you want the change
to be successful.
- Changes which are vital for the survival of the
organization and which are technically well planned can be fouled up.
How ? By bad
transition management
- Vital changes which were badly, technically planned
have still succeeded. Why ? Because of good transition management.
Syre
Consulting
can help you with both high impact change management and breakthrough transition management.
Our workshops show managers
responsible for change how to use mature, structured and proven methods to
develop a change plan which takes all stakeholders and the far and near
environments into account.
For relatively bounded change
situations, Syre Consulting (Systèmes & Ressources) uses Systems Intervention Strategy (SIS) to
plan the change. For situations Russell Ackoff would describe as "messes" or
Mason and Mitroff would describe as "wicked problems" the Systèmes &
Ressources approach relies heavily on the ideas of Karl Weick ("The Social Psychology
of Organizations" and "Sensemaking in Organizations").
William
Bridges'
transition methods are then used to help organizations and employees make sense of the
transitions which begin with the change.
The Creator of Transition Management
William Bridges has been described by the Wall Street Journal as one of the top
ten independent development presenters in the United States. In over twenty years of
working with organizations he has developed the concept of Managing Organizational
Transition, which has been used effectively by organizations as diverse as NASA,
Procter & Gamble, Intel, Hewlett Packard, 3M, Shell Petroleum and many other
international companies and organizations. Bridges is the well-known author of JobShift,
Managing Transitions (Making the Most of Change) and Surviving Corporate
Transition.

The
method used by Syre Consulting is designed to help high impact and
breakthrough change. We work at every level of the organization : the
individual level, the work
group level and the company level. "This is
a time full of changes in strategy, technology, product mix, and culture", writes
William Bridges. "With many of them come reorganization and redeployment. As in the
past, all too many of these changes will be planned with little concern for how they will
affect people or for what people will have to do to make them work. It will simply be
assumed that if the changes are necessary, people will adjust to them. But experience
suggests that the psychological process initiated by change is more like distress and
disruption than adjustment."
