I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO USE A CHANGE MAP
Creating a change map will help you prevent change fatigue.
How many changes are currently ongoing in your organization? One? Two? More?
When you have multiple changes underway, it is easy to lose sight of how they connect – or conflict. It can be hard to see their combined impact on your organization and its people.
The result is an increased risk of change fatigue. Change fatigue = failed change. Your return on investment is lost, and your risk for future changes is increased.
A change map is a blueprint for your organizational change initiatives. This simple but powerful technique gives you a clear picture of your current and planned organizational change initiatives.
A change map lets you see at a glance how one change relates or conflicts with another. It lets you focus on the high value, high return changes your organization needs to make. You launch less change, but get more real change in your organization.
A change map lets you:
- Visually identify high impact areas
- Assess the organization’s capacity to take on additional changes
- Identify opportunities to use existing operational activities to meet the intended outcomes of the change initiatives
- Make the most of the opportunities to link objectives across projects
- Address potential conflicts between project objectives
- Use your time, money, and your people on the changes that will make the biggest difference to your organization’s growth and performance
- Build change resilience
You need a change map if:
- you have three or more changes occurring simultaneously
- want to reduce the number of changes in your organization, but get more real results
- your employees are slow to engage with change
- you are implementing a large transformation with multiple layers of change
- you have changes that cross inter-departmental boundaries

THE EXECUTIVE’S GUIDE TO PREVENTING RESISTANCE & SUCCEEDING WITH ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGETestimonials
We at Thompson Dorfman Sweatman (TDS) are in the early stages of acquiring a sophisticated new software system. Firm wide acceptance of related changes is critical if success is to be achieved. My attendance at a Turner Change Management seminar opened my eyes to the importance of the Change Continuum and the principles of change management, of which Dawn-Marie Turner so eloquently speaks. Subsequently, we invited her to present her core principles to our combined management and marketing commit…

The exercise Conviron did with Dawn-Marie to define our Intended Outcome Statement has become one of our most powerful tools for managing transition. The exercise allowed us to establish clear objectives as to what we want to achieve and how we will achieve it. It helped us to identify groups within the organization that require more support, as well as those who are ready to take the lead. At the same time, it created a common “language” across the company. Another important outcome o…

Most people know that they need to make changes to compete in today’s marketplace, but not as many are as effective in introducing that change. I also really liked the points Dawn-Marie made about how to get people in the lower levels of the organization to contribute to the outcome. The leaders are responsible for setting the overall direction, but I can see the value in then coming to the line employees and saying, “Here’s where we’re going. How can you, in your role, help us get there?”We…
