What is change What is change management?management?

Change management is a structured approach to change in individuals, teams, organizations and societies that enables the transition from a current state to a desired future state.

Construction work deals with a lot of resource allocation (in terms of man, material, and machine) as well as time constraints. It involves unpredictable conditions due to open work environment.

Sometimes it is economical to adopt a change in management and avoid rework on problematic tasks .

The control tools used are network diagrams and process charts which are not sufficient. Thus, a dynamic process model to control change and manage resources is a necessity.

Need for change Need for change management in construction management in construction sectorsector

Construction rework cycle framework is not sufficient

In spite of advances in construction equipment there are cost overruns and chronic schedule delays.

Involvement of unpredictable conditions are there thus a construction process model must be capable of handling control issues

Construction process model requires more flexibility in determining project scope and work dependencies than other project development model.

Types of change Types of change management management

Individual change management

Organizational change management

Managerial change Managerial change processesprocesses

Note:-The change in task “X” can be intended(managerial) or unintended (unintentionally – due to low work quality, poor conditions or external factors) .Any change can lead to subsequent changes further.

Change and ReworkChange and Rework In construction “change option” (implementing managerial change) is more common since “rework option” (implementing rework) is perceived to have a bigger impact on construction performance than the change option. By opting for change one can avoid rework on problematic tasks which require more resources.

When your strategy, execution and interactions are optimized, balanced and integrated, then the three circles will overlap equally and this is the desired state. This point of overlap is called the nucleus of sustainability and it allows your organization to successfully implement change and improvement programs. Our goal is to provide a dynamic project model which will assist you in the continuous process of creating this alignment.

Change management is very important in the construction sector hence by developing a dynamic construction project model one can have effective management and policy making both at strategic and operational level.

Prepare for change:-Prepare peopleSchedule changeAllocate resources

Carry out change:-Delegations to staffMotivation

Evaluate/Control change:-Control timeControl cost and performance indicators

Basic operations involvedBasic operations involved

What are people What are people problems?problems?

One faces a lot of manpower problems during construction operations. Thus an effective manager needs to:-

Identify and remove restraining forces (Eg:- Unnecessary workforce employed in wooden form working)

Carry out the change (Eg:- Remove additional workforce )

Freeze the situation by reinforcing the new behavior (Eg:- Adopt aluminum formwork)

Combating time problems.Combating time problems.Time problems

Use of networks(Eg:- CPM network)

Use of charting techniques

(Eg:- Milestone bar chart ,time grid diagram etc.)Plan operational sequencing

Identify critical activities

Identify potential problems

Schedule time

Allocate resources

Monitor progress

Resource problemsResource problems

Use of budgetary control

Plan cash flows

Control expenditure

Monitor performance indices

Apart from all this by allocation for proper resources and by monitoring the progress regularly the resources can be utilized judiciously and effectively.
