Much of what looks good in the planning stage gets messy during implementation. The American Society for T raining and Development (ASTD) asked managers and consultants to identify the critical factors that can make or break a high- performance work system. The respondents identified the following actions as necessary for success (see Figure 16.5 ): Make a compelling case for change linked to the company’ s business strategy.
Ensure that change is “owned” by senior and line managers.
Allocate sufficient resources and support for the change ef fort.
Ensure early and broad communication of the ef fort.
Ensure that teams are implemented in a systemic way .
Establish methods for measuring the results of the change.
Ensure continuity of leadership and appoint “champions” of the initiative.
