Principles of Change Management

Plan for a change, Planning is easier than implementation

Involve and take support of all people within in a system of change

Understand the current position

A quote from SWADES

“Hesitating to act because the whole vision might not be achieved, or

because others do not yet share it, is an attitude that only hinders

progress.”

Swades – In Brief

• Mohan Bhargava – NRI working @ NASA, his journey from US to a village in India.

• His realization of how different the two worlds are.

• Transformation of an individual who is indifferent, to an individual who stands for the people

• He inculcated a spirit of oneness in all the villagers.

• A sense of interdependence, nothing is impossible when all work as a team.

The Change Process• Mohan brings an electric massager for his Kaveri amma,

but he finds no electricity.

• Only 75% of the village had electricity (3-4 hours/day), the rest 25% was without electricity

• No importance to education

• No phone network coverage

• All villages facing similar problems, serious financial crunch
