The document outlines seven principles of transition management and identifies phases of transition. It provides six steps for surviving organizational change, including understanding the reasons for change, clarifying expectations, ensuring the ability to implement change, examining alternatives, determining rewards and consequences, and acting with commitment.

We often fear and shy away from the unknown.When we rebuild what has been disrupted or lost and learn more about the unknown, we are better able to let go, move on, and do our part in making the changes successful. Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof. William Kenneth Galbraith
11. 7 Principles of Transition Management You have to end before you begin. Between the ending and the beginning, there is a hiatus. That hiatus can be creative. Transition is developmental. Transition is also a source of renewal. People go through transition at different speeds. Most organizations are running a “transition deficit.”

16. 5. Determine rewards and consequences You won’t be motivated to change without good reasons. Ask: What is at stake? What happens if the department/project fails? What happens if I fail? What do I hope to gain? What is important to me? Determine what that means to you. 13 surviving organizational change
