Managing SPMS
as a Change

Objectives
0 Identify the barriers to successful
adoption of SPMS.
0 Identify possible solutions to

facilitate effective adoption of

SPMS.

Possible Barriers of SPMS Adoption

0 Self-interest
0 Fear
0 Conscientious Objection or Differing Perceptions
0 Suspicion
0 Conservatism

Develop a Compelling Vision

0 Consider how things will be

better with the SPMS

0 Must be more than

SLOGANEERING

0 Need to have individual visions

and need to know how that fits

into the organizations vision

0 Need to see how they fit into

that vision

10

Change Is a Journey, Not a Blueprint

0 SPMS is not yet a perfect tool, your help will

contribute to its perfection.

0 Things may change right after the orientation

AND WHILE WERE IMPLEMENTING IT.

Prepare for Implementation Dip

0 Things Often Get Worse Before

They Get Better

0 Increase the Communication

0 Change the Medium and Words

0 Focus on What Is Ahead
0 Provide As Much Information As

Possible

0 Allow Resistance to Surface and

Manage It

11

MORE POINTS TO REMEMBER

0 Need to balance preparing for and implementing.
0 Understand and own the past.
0 Start where people are most receptive.
0 People dont resist their own ideas.
0 Establish a darn good reason to change.
0 Say it once, say it twice and say it again

BUT monitor COMMUNICATION.

0 Dont resist resistance.

130% above

Outstanding

115% - 129%
90% - 114%
51% - 89%

50% and below

Performance exceeded expectations by 30% and above the

planned targets.
Performance demonstrated was exceptional in terms of quality,
technical skills, creativity and initiative, showing mastery of the
task.
Accomplishments were made in more than expected but related
aspects of the target.
Very Satisfactory Performance exceeded expectations by 15% to 29% of the
planned targets.
Satisfactory
Performance met 90% to 114% of the planned targets. However,
if it involves deadlines required by law, it should be 100% of the
planned targets.
Unsatisfactory
Performance only met 51% to 89% of the planned targets and
failed to deliver one or more critical aspects of the target.
However, if it involves deadlines required by law, the range of
performance should be 51% to 99% of the planned targets.
Poor
Performance failed to deliver most of the targets by 50% and
