What We Can Help With: Corrective Action and Change Management
You can’t make your business systems better without change! Whether corrective action that addresses a specific issue, systemic change aimed at improving efficiency, productivity, or profitability, or caused by an external factor like an alteration to the law, change is inevitable.
Taking corrective action demonstrates responsiveness and responsibility. An incident occurs, small or large, and changes are made to ensure it doesn't happen again. Good change management during this corrective process ensures that an organisation can make the most of the learning opportunity and come out stronger. Making change simply for the sake of improvement is proactive; an effort expended in the pursuit of long-term success. Again, good management ensures that it happens as smoothly as possible with the best outcome.
What are you risking by ignoring the need for care and guidance when it comes to making change?
Gallup stats have shown that employees who have experienced disruptive (i.e mismanaged) change are more likely to be disengaged, disconnected to culture, and burnt out. They are also much more likely to leave the organisation.
- This literature review found that reviewed studies indicated a failure rate of organisational change as high as 60-70%.
- According to Gartner, only 34% of change initiatives are a clear success.
It’s likely you’re putting time, money, and thought into your new direction, no matter how major or minor it is. Don’t be a statistic; make sure it sticks with the right advice and guidance!
