The Amplify Journey (How, Change Process)
Change Managem ent vs. Change Readiness
OTM’s Accelerated Change Readiness© (ACR)
Traditional Change Management
Treats the organisation as a machine, fragmented
Treats the business as a system, holistic
Functional sponsorship
Horizontal sponsorship
Driven by traditional project management
Driven by social system readiness (ACR) with milestone
achievement occurring simultaneously
'Push' orientation (compliance)
'Pull' Orientation (commitment)
Sub-optimization
Joint optimization
Over-designed
Produces ‘White space‘
Pseudo-engagement – "Buy-in"
High engagement, highly relevant
Incompatible with espoused organisation Values
Compatible with espoused organizational values
Reactive, after the fact
Proactive
Tactics mostly include training and communication
Tactics driven by high involvement from start to finish

52
Feedback on Amplify
“I used to hate
reviews; I used
to see the
number and tune
out the rest. This
year I’ll
remember my
manager looking
me in the eye
and saying that I
did a good job.”
“Previously it
was 90% looking
back – now it’s
80% looking
forward.”
“What was
important
became defined
by the
conversation,
not the piece of
paper.”
“Employees
came to insights
themselves –
when it was a
“tell”
conversation you
didn’t get much
feedback. Now
the insights are
coming from
them.”
“As a manager, I
spent
significantly less
time on the yearend process and
still got the same
or even more
than in years
past.”
