The Readiness for Change Institute

On Thursday, October 29th at 1:45, Dr. M. Carey Dukes along with Dr. Steven Dionne and Dr. Karen Loch, will be presenting their work on organizational change and industry disruption.

The proposal is titled, "Disruption on Wheels: Role of Affect and Previous Outcomes on Carrier Readiness for Autonomous Vehicles”. They will go into detail about autonomous driving technology and how it is projected to have a disruptive impact on logistics. For example, autonomous vehicles are projected to impact the trucking industry by over $85 billion in the United States. We argue that the ability to capture the projected benefits of autonomous trucks is dependent on the carrier’s cognitive inclination to accept and commit to new technology – readiness for change. To test our hypotheses, our study utilizes a survey methodology, drawn from 178 managers working in commercial trucking. Our results illustrate that readiness for change, comprised of commitment and perceived efficacy, positively impacts efforts to prepare for autonomous implementation. The data also reveals significant antecedents, specifically the impact of affective attitudes and previous change outcomes on perceived readiness.

With many events occurring since the new year there will be businesses across the world looking to implement changes to their daily normals. Will workers permanently work from home? How will they adapt to health precautions around COVID-19 and other illnesses? What changes may they look into regarding social injustices? What will the new normals be? The Readiness for Change Institute was created for these very purposes. Our assessment tools enable organizations to implement change more successfully and have a better awareness of how their employees will take on these changes.

"Unfortunately, 60-70% of organizational transformations fail – a dismal statistic validated by study after study. Failure rates this high demand a new mindset and new actions."

-Rick, January 2013. CHANGE READINESS THE NEW CHANGE MANAGEMENT

The Readiness for Change Institute is working to bring that new mindset and new action. We believe that transformation percentage should be significantly lower and our assessment tools can help decrease it. Don’t risk losing jobs or money if you do not know if your employees are ready for change. Our tools provides tangible results that show how ready you are for a change implementation.

"It must be considered that there is nothing more difficult to carry out, nor more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to handle, than to initiate a new order of things."

-Kotter, Schlesinger, 2008. Choosing Strategies for Change

This is why The Readiness for Change Institute was created. Our assessment tools can turn a doubtful change into a well implemented change. Changes can be difficult but if you can see how ready an employee is for a specific change, that success rate will only improve!

"Change readiness is the ability to continuously initiate and respond to change in ways that create advantage, minimize risk, and sustain performance."

"If we push change onto an organization built for stability, nothing good will come of it. Pushing harder won't do the trick. If, instead, we get the organization ready for change, we must worry about resistance much less."

Tams, C. 2018, January 26. Why We Need To Rethink Organizational Change Management

How do you know your organization is ready for change? The Readiness for Change Institute can help you figure that out. We can inform you on the areas of your organization that are ready or not ready for change.
