AUSZUG
\nWhen John P. Kotter 1995 outlined his well-known eight-stage change framework no pandemia was in sight. He just reflected his research on the best efforts to drive change in organisations. \u00a0In the last weeks almost everybody in the world \u2013 knowing Kotter or not \u2013 has learned a lot about the power of Kotter\u2019s first stage: the sense of urgency. No high professional change management approach would have caused the tremendous digitalization-boost, which we have been witnessed since the beginning of 2020.<\/p>\n
INHALT
\n\u201eVisible crisis can be enormously helpful catching people\u2019s attention and pushing up urgency levels\u201d.
\nComing from Kotter\u2019s words to the confession my school-mate Sylvie made when we talked last week: \u201cThree months ago I was totally convinced that the zero-paper idea of a clerk-office was the phantasm of people who have no clue what I am doing in my job. Now, after more than 30 years in this job, I know: It is possible. I am able to do it. And the best: I\u2019d like to stick to it.\u201d
\nBecause this is not only Sylvie\u2019s experience but the lesson even teachers have learned, I like to repeat the eight stages, which Kotter named 1995, we should keep our eyes on when we like to keep the best of the crisis in our new normal:<\/p>\n
Establishing a Sense of Urgency
\nCreating the Guiding Coalition
\nDeveloping a Vision and Strategy
\nCommunicating the Change Vision
\nEmpowering Employees for Broad-Based Action
\nGenerating Short-Term Wins
\nConsolidating Gains and Producing More Change
\nAnchoring New Approaches in the Corporate Culture<\/p>\n
No, it is not fun to bring the own business back after the Corona lock-down, in particular when
\neverybody expects a recession to come. Nevertheless it is a chance.
\nFrom the positive perspective I prefer to follow the Appreciative Inquiry key question:
\nComing back to the experience I gained, whereof I want to have more in the future?
\nFor those who are not able to find anything positive in the last weeks I recommend to throw a keen eye on the resources you still own: What is my core competency? How to retake the demand of the past and to create new channels beside the pre-Corona ones?
\nIn my retrospection of the past weeks I really was hooked by the stories of automotive manufacturers who started to produce respirators, by the breweries which spent their alcohol and bottled it as disinfectant for care homes or by the students who organized shopping services for the elderly, just using their time, organisational talent and healthy feet.<\/p>\n
