What type of change are you facing?
Developmental:

A planned change or one that is emerging based on feedback or environmental changes. This change focuses on enhancing or correcting existing aspects of an organization, often focusing on the improvement of a skill or process.

Transitional:

Seeks to achieve a known preferred state that is different from the present state.

Transformational:

Is an extreme fundamental change to the organization and its culture. It requires a shift in mindset and could result in an organization that differs significantly in terms of strategy, structure, processes and culture.

Once the type of change is known we will work together to take a systematic approach to understanding the human factors and unique stresses that each part of the system will endure during the change process. Change is interminable; therefore, it is imperative throughout each initiative to define the needs of everyone impacted by the change, seek feedback from impacted stakeholders, and define a communication strategy while creating a shared vision.

You have to be patient. With time, it grows into a large tree. And then the flowers bloom, and only then can the fruits be plucked.~ Mamata Banerjee
