All this information comes from the data that was gathered and analyzed through research and staff surveys. Managers need to plan the resources required to make the change and establish feedback mechanisms to evaluate the progress and success of the change (Sullivan & Decker, 2009, p. 70).
Implementation:
Once the plans are put in motion interventions are designed to gain the necessary compliance. The manager needs to provide information by doing so he can change an individual’s perception, attitudes and values this is a plus for the manager. Training the employees to the new way will give them information and skill practice it show them how to perform in a system not how to change it. When possible the manager should use groups to discuss issues that are perceived as important and make relevant, binding decisions based on these discussions. Individual and group implementation can be combined so whatever methods are used participants should feel their input is valued and should be rewarded for their efforts. In some cases people are not always persuaded before beneficial change is implemented, sometimes behavior changes first and attitudes are modified later to fit the behavior (Sullivan & Decker, 2009, p. 71).
Evaluation:

Step 2 is forming a powerful guiding coalition. Leadership will have to be on board and on the same page in regards to the change. Kotter and Cohen reveal the core problems people face when leading change. Their main findings are that the central issue concerns not structure or systems but behavior and how to alter it (Farris, 2008). The success of the changes will depend on the ability of the managers to show their commitment to change and motivate the employees to do the same. Without any process to track the implementation, the change can also fail.

Class, In our first DQ, we discussed the various cultural barriers that we might see on a routine basis; however there are still many more barriers to effective communication. These might be more associated with physical and psychological barriers. Here are two real-world questions that we most of us will encounter throughout our health care career regularly...

It would be really helpful to use teams in health care. It will help teams to improve their performance. They can be more synergy and innovative. That will help health care setting to provide great service and they can get more involve with an individual. The health care setting can be more responsiveness to patients by responding as quickly as they can. The health care setting needs to be more understanding, need to know their responsibility, and keep a healthy relationship.

Providing the staff with the training to accomplish the strategy, can help in removing some of the personal barriers. An increase in communication and management visibility before, during and after implementation can overcome or reduce
Great Post in response to your post for question one. I can agree with you that the planning phase can be difficult. I also believe that once you have gotten the planning phase done then the next thing in the implementation phase, is there needs to be teamwork between the employees and the change management team, effective communications and the employees must be able to trust the change management teams’ judgment on the implementation that’s being put in place.s
Not only were the leaders impressed by the employees insights, they took action to address all of the problems. As a result, participation increased, communication improved, relationship between employees and management improved, and access to training and development opportunities were wide-spread. But most importantly, once the original change initiatives were introduced, employees embraced the initiatives, offered insights on how to improve their outcomes, and ensured their success.
