			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>41% of changes are successful? At least that is what IBM says. How do they know? They carried out a major survey of 1500 change leaders and produced a report, which you can get <a href="http://www-935.ibm.com/services/us/gbs/bus/html/gbs-making-change-work.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Among the highlights:</p>
<blockquote><p>Most CEOs consider themselves and their organizations to be executing change poorly</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Achieving project success does not hinge primarily on technology – instead, success depends largely on people.</p></blockquote>
<p>Nothing new there, really. But IBM then say</p>
<blockquote><p>Four common factors helped these practitioners address their greatest project challenges and when used in combination, they provide a synergistic benefit that was even greater than the sum of their individual impacts.</p></blockquote>
<p>So what are the four factors? According to IBM they are</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Real Insights, Real Actions</strong>. Strive for a full, realistic awareness and understanding of the upcoming challenges and complexities, then follow with actions to address them.</li>
<li><strong>Solid Methods, Solid Benefits</strong>. Use a systematic approach to change is focused on outcomes and closely aligned with formal project management methodology.</li>
<li><strong>Better Skills, Better Change</strong>. Leverage resources appropriately to demonstrate top management<br />
sponsorship, assign dedicated change managers and empower employees to enact change.</li>
<li><strong>Right Investment, Right Impact</strong>. Allocate the right amount for change management by understanding which types of investments can offer the best returns, in terms of greater project success.</li>
</ul>
<p>Again, not much new. But remember &#8211; successful change management does not ignore the basics.</p>
