Abstract

Efforts to improve organizational performance sometimes fail. One way to increase the likelihood of a successful implementation is to adopt a multipronged approach. This article describes a multipronged approach for change management and performance improvement. The approach combines a systems implementation process with sensitivity to the human side of change. Tactics to defuse resistance are also discussed. The approach assists leaders assigned to coordinate performance improvements.
