How to Create Your Change Implementation Dream Team

Two weeks ago, I started a three-part series to guide you through the critical strategies of successful change management.

This week, I want to talk about who actually makes change happen: your implementation team.

A mistake I see leaders make too often is picking their implementation team based solely on availability or job title. 

Last month, a client wondered why their change initiative wasn’t gaining traction. 

Diversity is the secret to a strong implementation team.

It turned out that their team looked great on paper but was missing key voices from different levels of the organization.

Diversity is the secret to a strong implementation team.

You need:

  • Front-line workers who know the day-to-day reality
  • Mid-level managers who can spot potential roadblocks
  • Technical experts who understand the practical implications
  • Change champions who naturally inspire others

The most important part? Involve this team early!

They’ll spot issues you might miss and create natural buy-in throughout the organization.
