![Page 4: The ROI of Change: Making the Business Case for Change Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/54b902144a795986028b4572/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
THE PROBLEM:No one wants to pay for change management
• “A project manager and some software will do it all, right?”
• ‘Change goals’ are often confused with ‘change strategy’
• Change has become just another workstream
• Leaders don’t always equate successful change with a better bottom line
![Page 5: The ROI of Change: Making the Business Case for Change Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/54b902144a795986028b4572/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
THE REALITY:
‘Change’ without ‘change management’ means less money on the bottom line
• Unmanaged change means• Lost productivity• Lost top talent• Lost clients• Lost revenue
• Companies who practice change management typically see 15-35% more revenue on the bottom line than those that don’t
![Page 6: The ROI of Change: Making the Business Case for Change Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/54b902144a795986028b4572/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
THE BIG QUESTION:
Why doesn’t everyone know this?
• Change management is still seen as a touchy-feely HR function – and a cost centre
• “Business moves at the speed of change – employees are used to it by now.”
• When change fails, no one takes a holistic look at ‘why?’
![Page 7: The ROI of Change: Making the Business Case for Change Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/54b902144a795986028b4572/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Start with a business case – don’t ‘build’ a business case
• Focus on the bottom line• Communicate in business
terms – and don’t be vague• Keep it simple
CHANGE AS A STRATEGIC BUSINESS FUNCTION:
How do you get to the ROI of Change?
![Page 8: The ROI of Change: Making the Business Case for Change Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/54b902144a795986028b4572/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
But how do you convince the eye-rollers who think you’re just another cost centre?
![Page 9: The ROI of Change: Making the Business Case for Change Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/54b902144a795986028b4572/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Start talking in terms your audience will understand:Dollars and cents.
![Page 10: The ROI of Change: Making the Business Case for Change Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/54b902144a795986028b4572/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
5 tactics to help you get buy-in from almost everyone
![Page 11: The ROI of Change: Making the Business Case for Change Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/54b902144a795986028b4572/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Badly managed change can drive your ‘A’ players and critical employees out the door
• Using the Drake staffing calculator, losing 5 senior managers with an average salary of $110,000 each represents a cost of $5.7 million
TACTIC #1:
Quantify the cost of losing key employees
![Page 12: The ROI of Change: Making the Business Case for Change Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/54b902144a795986028b4572/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• This doesn’t have to be some vague, possible outcome
• You can quantify it - and the numbers start to add up:
• 2000 employees• Each spends 30 minutes a week for 3 months
overcoming change challenges (lost productivity, lack of engagement)
• That’s 12,000 hours of lost time• At a blended cost of $150/hour, that just cost the
company $1.8 million
TACTIC #2:
Quantify the loss of productivity
![Page 13: The ROI of Change: Making the Business Case for Change Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/54b902144a795986028b4572/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• “Company X seems to be in some sort of transition period and I’m not sure where they’re going. So instead I’ll…
• …take my business elsewhere.”• …take my A-list employability elsewhere.”• …take my investment dollars elsewhere.”
TACTIC #3:
Cost of the loss of market confidence
![Page 14: The ROI of Change: Making the Business Case for Change Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/54b902144a795986028b4572/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
TACTIC #4:
Demonstrate how it will meet business goals- and what this means for revenue
• Look beyond the 3- or 6-month change timeline: • A successful change will lead to $X million
increased sales in Year 1• …which will lead to $X million increased sales in
Year 2• Today’s change investment will deliver ROI for
several years to come• Focusing on change management makes your project:
• More efficient• Run smoother, faster• Able to hit milestones effectively
![Page 15: The ROI of Change: Making the Business Case for Change Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/54b902144a795986028b4572/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• When communication around change isn’t handled skillfully, negative leaks can cost money, reputation and PR fees
• Change communication can’t be managed with an Excel spreadsheet or MSProject Plan from the PMO
• Change communication is also not typical PR. It is a specialized type of communication.
TACTIC #5:
Cost of potential PR disasters
![Page 16: The ROI of Change: Making the Business Case for Change Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/54b902144a795986028b4572/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• “What’s in it for me?”• Spend less time talking about concepts like ‘the
employees’ or ‘the shareholders’ and more time demonstrating how the people in the room will personally benefit from well-managed change
BONUS TACTIC:
The WIIFM approach
![Page 17: The ROI of Change: Making the Business Case for Change Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/54b902144a795986028b4572/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
THE BOTTOM LINE
• Effective change management directly affects success and the bottom line. The ‘bottom line’ never goes out of style.
• It’s easier than you think to quantify the ROI of good change management
• Change handled badly is never over – and never stops costing money. Change handled well delivers an immediate, measurable and sustained ROI
![Page 18: The ROI of Change: Making the Business Case for Change Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/54b902144a795986028b4572/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
DON’T LOSE HOPE
• Good change management is about increasing a company’s bottom line. Period.
• Change management isn’t dying – it’s changing
• It’s easier to get what you need when you make the business case – not the emotional one
