Overview/Description
Failing to plan is planning to fail. Change project managers need to understand the role of the guiding coalition, and the appropriate level of involvement it has based on the rigor of the change project at hand. They also must understand how to assign levels of influence, assess, and interpret stakeholder input. Additionally, you will need to facilitate the creation of a code for change - outlining the behaviors that will support the change and, in some instances, how members of the organization will be held accountable. The correct application of a guiding coalition, stakeholder influence, and a code for change will help make your change effort succeed.
