Top 5 Change Management Plan

1. Addressing ‘Human Side’ Systematically
‘People issues' are created in an organization due to some sorts of transformation. When new leaders are asked to step up, job role of many employees within an organization get changed. Some employees would adopt the changes, while some cannot adopt changes. Those, who cannot adopt changes, are needed the attention of the top level managers. To manage such issues, organizational change management plan has been adopted by the managers. A formal approach for managing changes has been initiated at the primary stage. The change management process should be completely integrated into the decision making and program design. Realistic and individual-based management strategies are followed in this case.

2. Communication Planning Strategies
Regarding business communication, many managers have a lot of misconceptions. They assume that communicating with employees would do the job, but in reality, it does not happen like that. This is why we need to adopt project change management plan. There are many reasons due to which employees often do not follow manager's instructions precisely or perfectly. In some cases, there are feasibility issues, while in some cases, many employees tend to become disobedient. Managers may need to pursue the same message, again and again, to reach the employees properly. An effective communicator always keeps three factors in mind, while communicating with the employees.

Those change management plan template factors are:

Nature or behavior of the audience
What has been said
When it was said

To elaborate on this, let us consider an example. The first stage of the project change management plan is building awareness when the change is inevitable. Change brings a different ambiance for working for the employees and hence in the changed conditions; it is crucial that employees get accustomed. This would not happen overnight. This is a slow, but steady process. Thus, communication planning process begins with a careful analysis of the audiences, timings of messages and key messages. The team leader or project development officer should build a communication plan to address the needs of the frontline employees of an organization. Based on their roles, each employee should be treated with unique information and communication plan.
Change management has a significant impact on the financial progress as well as the process of a business. Your business needs to attain better financial management strategy. For that, debt consolidation is essential. With changes in the business process for the startups, a lot of investments come. For those investments, loans are chosen to be acquired.

3. Sponsor Roadmaps and Activities
For business, sponsors are very crucial. This is why business executives and managers need to play a critical role in the change management plan example. The change management team should develop robust plans for managing various sponsors' activities. Sponsorship has been viewed as the most important factor that can carry a business towards its optimal goals. Active and visible contribution and participating of the sponsors have been needed to carry forward business with changed scenarios. Unfortunately, many business executives have limited ideas on the sponsorship. The role of the change management team is to provide a fair idea of sponsorship management for a business process.

4. Coaching and Manager Training for Change Management
Supervisors play a key role in the business management process. It is important to direct supervisors in a way so that they can have more impact on the employees. A business coach or motivational coaches have similar roles to play. Supervisors as a group can be difficult to be convinced of the need for changes. They can also be considered as the sources for resistances. This is why project change management plan has been required. The role of the change management team is preparing coaching strategies in order to deal with behavioral changes of the coaching team or supervisors. The proper training process for the supervisors has been required to bring in the changes in the organization without facing resistance.

5. Recognizing and Celebrating Success
Whether it is an early success or long-term win – all kinds of successes should be recognized under organizational change management plan. Individuals or groups have to be recognized who was behind the organization's success. This is the final stage of change management process, though it carries substantial importance. In fact, without this process, nothing positive can be achieved. An organization needs positive vibes to propagate. This will create a happy working culture within an organization.
Change management process can be managed through the implementation of vital tools and techniques. Small or medium businesses mostly opt for such tools. Startup companies need to have robust as well as effectual change management tactics and strategies.

Symbolising modern elegance and authentic Italian style, iconic brand ACQUA DI PARMA to fly high in The Residence, First Class and Business Class cabins, and at flagship First Class Lounge & Spa

Etihad Airways has launched a major new partnership with the Italian fragrance brand, ACQUA DI PARMA. From August, the UAE national airline will introduce a range of exclusive amenity bags and toiletries for its customers travelling in The Residence on its Airbus A380s, and on long-haul First Class and Business Class services. The iconic brand will also feature in the airline’s flagship First Class Lounge & Spa in Abu Dhabi.

The new collaboration was celebrated with a curated event at the St. Regis Hotel’s legendary Abu Dhabi Suite, which was decorated in a style inspired by the perfumer, and featured a unique perfume room where guests were given a personal fragrance experience by a team from ACQUA DI PARMA.

The event also saw the screening of a specially commissioned short film showcasing the partnership. Depicting a guest on an Etihad flight admiring the plush surroundings of his Business Class seat, the film shows him being instantly transported on a sensory journey to the landscapes of Italy by taking in the scent of ACQUA DI PARMA’s famous Colonia fragrance offered onboard.

Linda Celestino, Etihad Airways Vice President Guest Experience and Delivery, said: “ACQUA DI PARMA is universal in its appeal, effortlessly combining, traditional know-how, craftsmanship and innovation with a modern Italian, yet very international flair. We could think of no better brand partner who stands for the same understated elegance, focus on design, luxury and warmth associated with Etihad as a world-leading airline. We look forward to exploring opportunities to expand our partnership even further.”

Etihad Airways’ association with ACQUA DI PARMA began in 2014, when the airline started offering the brand’s luxury toiletries in The Residence. Founded in 1916 in the historic city of Parma, and part of the LVMH Group since 2001, ACQUA DI PARMA has worked closely with Etihad Airways to tailor its unique products to each stage of the guest experience, on the ground and in the air, using its signature Colonia, a perfume with a formula which has remained unchanged for 102 years, along with a selection of additional fragrances in The Residence.

CEO & President of ACQUA DI PARMA, Laura Burdese, said: “After 102 years, ACQUA DI PARMA has become an icon of Italian style, the essence of sophistication and effortless elegance Italy is known for around the world. We are extremely selective when choosing brands to associate with, but partnering with a world-leading airline like Etihad was a natural choice due to its premium services and high-end inflight experience.

“Extending this partnership through an exclusive selection of products in The Residence, First and Business Class, centered around our signature Colonia fragrance, was a highly anticipated extension and development of this long-term association. I see this partnership as an enhancement of a relationship founded on the same shared values of excellence and quality, and the perfect opportunity to bring the Italian warmth and refined elegance over the world in the most gratifying way possible.”

In The Residence, the airline’s revolutionary three-room cabin on Airbus A380 aircraft flying from Abu Dhabi to London, Paris, New York and Sydney, guests are provided with a bespoke range of fragrances and toiletries provided in their own private shower room, including a Colonia amenity kit. Colonia Pura is provided for men and Magnolia Nobile for women.

Yellow, the colour synonymous with the Italian brand, is used for all First Class bags, while Business Class bags are offered in the same yellow, and also in black.

The First Class unisex cylinder bag contains a miniature bottle of Colonia, a 40ml body lotion and lip balm. First Class toiletries include Colonia hand wash and hand cream, and Colonia bathroom amenity kits feature shower gel, body lotion, hair shampoo, and hair conditioner.

The Business Class unisex wallet bag, which can be buttoned to create a stylish and useful valet tray, contains a Colonia sampler and hand cream, which will also be dispensed in the Business Class washrooms.

Ms. Celestino adds: “Just as Etihad is not just simply an airline, ACQUA DI PARMA is more than just a fragrance. Both are respected and loved luxury brands. This partnership showcases refined Italian style and Arabian hospitality and we know it will prove very popular with our guests. The range of products chosen will enhance their comfort onboard and will also define their journey through this new sensory experience.

“It also highlights cross-cultural similarities and the importance of the sense of smell throughout everyday life, which can elevate the mood, and links fragrances to memorable experiences. The original Colonia was sprayed onto gentlemen’s tailored suits as a finishing touch, just as Oud would be anointed onto the Farokha tassel of an Emirati Kandora, or sprayed onto the Abaya.”

   

ACQUA DI PARMA products will also be offered in the washrooms and shower facilities at the airline’s award-winning First Class Lounge & Spa at Abu Dhabi International Airport.
