Implement Change

Prepare the Organization for Change Preparing the organization is mostly a part of the integrator function. It analyzes the sensemaking activities required to facilitate the change and reports results to the program team. During planning, the integrator identifies areas of resistance and support and monitors them before the change process begins. Resistance is often the manifestation of dissatisfaction with the solution rather with the change itself. The integrator should meet with the resisting parties to discuss their issues and find a solution. Supporters should be recruited as agents to actively promote the change. Preparing the organization for change also requires identifying influences from the program environment. Finally, the program team should ensure that all actions are aligned with the vision and strategy of the program.
