Create a Compelling Case for Change

Once you’ve clarified how a change disruption came to be (if necessary), communicate the case for change to your team in a compelling, relevant way, so they catch the vision of it. Draft and share a memorable story your team can understand and easily retell about where the team/organization is going, why they are going there, and what the journey will look like. Use prompts like the following:

1. Describe the problem or opportunity targeted by the change.

• “We have been struggling with…”

• “We have been planning to…”

2. Describe how the change solves the problem or creates the opportunity.

• “The change we are making is…”

• “So we’ve decided to…”

3. Share the benefits of the change for the team and the organization.

• “When we make this change successfully, we will…” [Describe the outcomes it will achieve or opportunities it will create.]

• “If we succeed with this change, we will prevent/solve/overcome…” [Describe the problems it will solve or issues it will resolve.]

4. Share the challenges of the change (be as transparent as you can). Share any bad news they should know (information that is legal and appropriate to share).

• “I know this means we will…”

• “When we make the change, we will have to…”

5. Share initial ideas on how to address the challenges together.

• “I think we can handle these challenges by…”

• “We have overcome challenges like this in the past, such as…”

6. Summarize what you are moving from and what you are moving to.

• “As we make this change, we will move from… to…” [Be as specific as you can about required behavior or procedural changes, as well as the new outcomes the changes will need to produce. There should be multiple “from-to” statements focusing on behaviors, actions, and results that should change.]
