Successful change management is more likely to occur if the following are included:
=>> Define measurable stakeholder aims and create a business case for their achievement (which should be continuously updated)
=>> Monitor assumptions, risks, dependencies, costs, return on investment, dis-benefits and cultural issues
=>> Effective communication that informs various stakeholders of the reasons for the change (why?), the benefits of successful implementation (what is in it for us, and you) as well as the details of the change (when? where? who is involved? how much will it cost? etc.)
=>> Devise an effective education, training and/or skills upgrading scheme for the organization
=>> Counter resistance from the employees of companies and align them to overall strategic direction of the organization
=>> Provide personal counseling (if required) to alleviate any change-related fears
=>> Monitoring implementation and fine-tuning as and when required
