Managing Change in the Workplace...

Producing Value

Managing change in the workplace is perhaps one of the most important management tasks - for two reasons. Firstly, because change is inevitable - nothing ever remains the same. Secondly, because it really should be something desirable. As Charles Handy put it: "Change, after all, is only another word for growth, another synonym for learning, we can all do it, if we want to."

The real importance of managing change is in producing value, both for the organizations you work for, and for the people you manage. From being productive in our use of time, to managing projects effectively. Happiness is often experienced when we produce valuable and meaningful results, when we sense our contribution has been of importance in the pursuit of something significant. That's why this producing value category includes sections on: Change Management; Project Management; and Time Management.

Change Management

This section introduces our articles and resources on change management. Whilst change has become a common part of the language of business, it remains a complex and uncertain path to take. To help you tread that path we've included definitions, theories, principles, models, and some tips on the benefits of change management.

Project Management

The increasing importance placed on organizational change and innovation means most managers now have far more involvement in the projects needed to implement these changes. Effective change, continuous improvement and organizational development all require project management skills. Yet how many general or operational managers feel totally happy when initiating or managing projects, either directly or through delegation? Especially when the burden of project management is added to the day job! This section offers help with its project management definition, checklist, guidelines, and model.

Time Management

This section contains resources on time management, helping you make worthwhile improvements in how you spend your time. Now is the most precious time in life, so as you read the articles in this section, commit to taking a fresh look at time. Both how you spend it and how you invest it. Because, as Peter Drucker once said: “Until we can manage time we can manage nothing else!” To help you manage your time this section is full of tips, benefits, ways to help protect your own time, approaches, value statements, ideas, and radical suggestions.

Managing change in the workplace need not be such a difficult task for the happy manager. Especially if your real aim is producing value.
