Mission
The mission is ann ongoing,
overriding challenge or task; a goal
that simplifies, motivates, coordinates,
inspires.
Strategy
Strategy describes the way you
deploy assets and capabilities to achieve the mission; a broad set of actions
and intents.
Plan
A plan sets out the detailed
specifications for implementation, including steps, responsibilities, resources
and control systems and processes.
Development of a strategy for
managing change may include data-gathering, stakeholder analysis and an
intensive planning workshop to formulate approaches and integrate them into an
appropriate and integrated strategy. Then this overall approach is brought to
life through a series of detailed implementation plans specifying exactly what
will be done, when, with what resources and result.
A key theme is to understand
the nature and sources of cultural resistance. Then we look for a strategy or strategies, supported by a detailed plan, that
represent wins for the organization and for the stakeholder group involved.
This recognizes that the integration process is, in part, a series of
negotiations.
Positive organizational change processes represent a
convergence of the diverse interests of stakeholders. Change is supported and
facilitated by people who are convinced of the mission and the need, involved in the process
and understand the plan and thenbenefits.
