The Michelli Experience

Making Change "STICK"

Are you experiencing "change overload?" Have you ever been at that point where you wonder if you can handle (let alone drive) one more change initiative?

As a customer experience consultant, I have seen amazingly successful and equally less effective efforts to fuel positive organization growth. Here are a few reminders from my upcoming book about increasing healthcare patient experiences on how to make important changes stick.

1) Identify the change opportunity as a priority,
2) Connect it to values,
3) Select, orient and train for that which is valued,
4) Set critical targets,
5) Develop meaningful measurements,
6) Offer usable and timely data to guide quality improvement,
7) Monitor, reward, celebrate, and constantly problem-solve ways to move performance in the direction of targets.

Piece of cake!
