EFQM – E-Surveys as a preparatory measure for change processes
In order to discharge change processes, it is helpful to communicate necessity and first steps of change to all participants.
In the beginning of a change process, a change readiness questionnaire should be carried out. Its compact evaluation will show areas with a high necessity for change within the company.
In these areas of high necessity for change, first steps can be implemented quite easily. With fast and easy success usually comes the motivation, the commitment and the orientation towards more success of the people involved in the change process. This ensures a long-term commitment that lasts even throughout the difficult steps of the change process. Additionally, employee and client interrogations can add important points of view.
The Change Readiness survey is based in its structure on the criteria of the EFQM (European Foundation for Quality Management). The configuration of the survey can be adapted to the individual demands of the company or the particular task.
