In the past, in order to get something done, you did something. This normally involved taking off your jacket; possibly even loosening your tie. It could be you needed gloves and goggles, maybe a mate to hold your tools, but generally, you got on and did it.

Doing Something the People Way

Whilst doing stuff, you’d be well advised to utilise a methodology known as ‘People Side of Change’.  It offers a ‘best practice framework for identifying and managing the five critical success factors in any change’.
 

•  Thinking, planning and doing the right ‘people things’ throughout your change initiative
• Building and sustaining the right levels of commitment to make your change work
• Understanding what people issues could be enablers or blockers
•  Focusing on those issues that are critical for the success of your change increasing the capacity for benefits realisation
•  Applying sound change management principles

Five things that are very important when taking a ‘people side of change’ approach to doing something.
