I'm glad you enjoy the blog!
It...Thanks, Ram. I'm glad you enjoy the blog!<br /><br />It's definitely not too late to comment. I like the questions you raise. I especially like how you approached the first questions - it goes with the concept they discuss later in the book about Appreciative Inquiry. <br /><br />I think that answering the questions you listed in either the video or the rest of the Change program would greatly help address both the intellectual and emotional side of the change.<br /><br />Thanks, again, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts about future posts!<br />EmilyEmily Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09446537233183920713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4668311669253885140.post-35488146502681051452013-03-27T02:41:05.753+11:002013-03-27T02:41:05.753+11:00Emily - First things first. As a follower of your ...Emily - First things first. As a follower of your blog, I have to tell that you engage nicely with your audience and put forward your thoughts & analysis neatly.<br /><br />I have picked up this book a couple of months back and its been a fascinating read. Picked up this discussion only now.. I hope its not too late to comment.<br /><br />For the presentation, I assume you will have all the relevant stakeholder therefore it should motivate the elephants of all possible stakeholders involved. As I have read little more on the book, I have picked up few more points. Here are some questions to ponder over<br /><br />1. Is John's responding very quick to any other email/request? If so, what makes respond faster? Take those factors and apply to the current ERP system. Some factors that I can think of, are Easy of login, time to enter the approver details, response time of the system, usage of system resources etc.<br />2. What is the knock-on effects of late approval from John's perspective? Is he holding up something else downstream?<br />3. And finally, how does it impact the business? And ask a question - If we are to be true to our company values, what does this example illustrated in presentation say? Are you a happy bunny?<br /><br />Hope these points appeals to both your elephant and rider!!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />RamRamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13898823671944287048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4668311669253885140.post-52875027122826342092013-03-18T09:53:01.181+11:002013-03-18T09:53:01.181+11:00Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Rohit.

I could see the series of videos focusing on how the To Be changes can help solve some of the issues people are having in the To Be process. Great ideas!Emily Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09446537233183920713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4668311669253885140.post-63305940116351938522013-03-16T10:25:48.131+11:002013-03-16T10:25:48.131+11:00In my view the Video should compare both the AS IS...In my view the Video should compare both the AS IS process and To Be process and also highlight the change impacted to speed and accuracy.To bring the flavor of change management, the AS IS could also capture reasons for resistance to change or the existing affinity to status quo.For example, Jon`s manager might want to take one full day for decision at his end for reasons like i) Convulated decision process or ii)doesn`t want to take responsibility. Of the skill v/s will issue , the 1st one is Skill related and can be taken care by re-designing process and making information avaialble, whereas the 2nd one is more of a will issue and needs to be met with motivation improvement measures. Hopefully,a series of such videos may engage audience and facilitate the change adoption smoothlyRohitPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09785617568665590033noreply@blogger.com
