1- The Context Our team is sent for 6 months by EuroComm Corporation to introduce an innovation in one of its

subsidiaries : Teleswitches LTD.

The innovation is the Executive Information System that is supposed to increase the company’s

performance.

Ann Finkelbaum, the CEO of Teleswitches, has been asked to implement the EIS for 2 years but was

against any change.

Both sides (Our team and Teleswitches members) don’t have any information about each other.

2- The Strategy (1)

2.1 Global Objectives :

Analyze the environment

Convince first the top managers to reach the approval of the

CEO

Once the managers adopt the EIS, they would be in charge

of conducting the change within their teams.

2- The Strategy (2) 2.2 Steps defined Analyze the organizational chart =>determine the 5

managers conserned by the personality study

Cost Control

Accepts change only for cost improvment

Wild ideas

New within the company

Not organized

Personnalize work

Potential of HR

«  people person»

Oups!!!! Negligence of the structure of the company : closed hierarchy 

The approval of the CEO was mandatory for many key initiatives 

Not understanding the initiatives (something we didn’t do) 

Misreading the organization chart (the key actors)Forgetting to predict the managers reactions to change 

Facing some strong characters when it comes to change 

9

2.3 - The change (1)

Meeting Ms Finkelbaum earlier than planned

Getting the interest of Cynthia in The EIS is primordial

Informing all teams about the project

10

2.3 - The change (2)

The reflection of changing some key points on our strategy :

11

Initiatives /phases

To do Not to doAwareness • Get information to analyze the

different managers personalities by Personal profile, networks

• Introduce your team and mission by Memorandum for example

• Neglect the company’s hierarchy and the influential networks

• Impose the project by sending electronic mail or asking for face to face meeting or seek advice.

Interest •Solicit face to face meeting and seek advice to drive people towards the project goals

•Favor directors meetings and staff meeting discussion when the managers are interested enough

•Organise a Pilot test or a questionnaire when the interest level is not reached yet

Trial •Take initiatives at the right time and know what to prioritize

For example sometimes it’s better to organize face to face meeting than workshop. Other times, it’s better to do the opposite.

•Use Covert lobbying to get to our goal faster

Experience

12

To Do Not To Do

Strategy Point out and start the change process with influential people

Deal only with department heads and neglect influential

networks

Initiatives •All channels of communication are important

•Favor directors meetings when the leaders are

interested enough.

•Disregard the organizational chart

•Use lobbying in companies where trust and teamwork are core

values

4. Results (3)

discovery of the

networks and tools

Seek advice + Face to face meetings

Covert Lobby

Directors meetings

The graph slightly started taking off at the third week

The call from Eurocomm, the first week, made us think that the number of

decisions taken matters

5. Team dynamics

16

Collaboration to define the strategy and take decisions

Resort to votes when an agreement isn’t reached

No leader and followers pre-defined

In reaction to unexpected events, the members of the

team adapted together the strategy according to the

feedbacks

interactions
