1 Engage your stakeholders early and often

One of the key factors for successful change initiatives is to engage your stakeholders early and often in the process. This means inviting them to share their opinions, concerns, and suggestions, as well as providing them with clear and timely information about the change. By doing this, you can build trust, rapport, and ownership among your stakeholders, as well as identify potential issues and opportunities for improvement. You can use various methods to engage your stakeholders, such as surveys, interviews, focus groups, workshops, or online platforms.

Engaging stakeholders early and often is a good principle, but it's simplistic and doesn't tell you what to do. First, identify which stakeholders you're actually going to listen to, which ones need to feel consulted, and which ones just need to be informed. Getting specific and narrow on this will help you focus and minimise tokenistic communication and trying to speak to too many audiences with the same message. IAP2 is a good framework, but if you want to keep it even simpler, just identify 3 levels of stakeholders. Level 1: Their participation matters and their ideas will inform your design. Level 2: Their presence matters. Level 3: Keep them in the loop but de-prioritise.

2 Use participatory methods to co-create solutions

Another technique that can help you gain buy-in and commitment for change initiatives is to use participatory methods to co-create solutions with your stakeholders. Participatory methods are approaches that involve your stakeholders in the design, implementation, and evaluation of the change, rather than imposing it from the top. By using participatory methods, you can tap into the collective wisdom, creativity, and experience of your stakeholders, as well as empower them to take ownership and responsibility for the change. Some examples of participatory methods are open space technology, world cafe, appreciative inquiry, or future search.

Too often solutions are created in a "bubble" with little input from users that most directly impacted by the change. One things I've found helpful as a user and a leader that the most well adopted solutions were created with significant input from users on the downstream impact of these changes as well as leaning on their experience to flag potential road blocks pre-emptively.

3 Communicate the benefits and impacts of the change

A third technique that can help you gain buy-in and commitment for change initiatives is to communicate the benefits and impacts of the change to your stakeholders. This means explaining the rationale, purpose, and objectives of the change, as well as how it will affect your stakeholders and the organization. By communicating the benefits and impacts of the change, you can help your stakeholders understand the value and relevance of the change, as well as address any fears, doubts, or resistance they may have. You can use various channels and formats to communicate the benefits and impacts of the change, such as newsletters, presentations, videos, or stories.

4 Provide support and feedback throughout the change process

A fourth technique that can help you gain buy-in and commitment for change initiatives is to provide support and feedback throughout the change process. This means offering your stakeholders the resources, guidance, and assistance they need to adapt to the change, as well as acknowledging their efforts, achievements, and challenges. By providing support and feedback throughout the change process, you can help your stakeholders feel valued, respected, and motivated, as well as reinforce the positive outcomes and learnings of the change. You can use various tools and mechanisms to provide support and feedback throughout the change process, such as coaching, mentoring, training, or recognition.

5 Celebrate successes and learn from failures

A fifth technique that can help you gain buy-in and commitment for change initiatives is to celebrate successes and learn from failures. This means recognizing and rewarding the achievements and contributions of your stakeholders, as well as reflecting and learning from the mistakes and setbacks that may occur. By celebrating successes and learning from failures, you can help your stakeholders feel proud, satisfied, and confident, as well as foster a culture of innovation and improvement. You can use various ways to celebrate successes and learn from failures, such as events, awards, testimonials, or feedback loops.

Through change it is imperative to find your Champion from your group of stakeholders impacted by change - this is someone who is a super-user or even someone just really engaged in the adoption of change. This can happen from celebrate their successes and asking them to share their perspective on how/why adoption was key to their success. Once you have this person identified, you can begin to lean on them for recognizing others successes s it becomes contagious but they are also extremely helpful to verify feedback you are receiving from other stakeholders.

6 Adapt and adjust to changing circumstances

A sixth technique that can help you gain buy-in and commitment for change initiatives is to adapt and adjust to changing circumstances. This means being flexible, responsive, and agile to the feedback, insights, and realities that may emerge during the change process, as well as involving your stakeholders in the decision-making and problem-solving. By adapting and adjusting to changing circumstances, you can help your stakeholders feel involved, informed, and empowered, as well as ensure that the change is relevant, effective, and sustainable. You can use various methods to adapt and adjust to changing circumstances, such as prototyping, piloting, or iterating.

In my experience, all the planning in the world cannot totally eliminate surprises that come up after rolling out the change so you have to be prepared to adapt. In fact, you should go so far as planning for the surprises and discuss pro-actively what the potential response could be to these so that you are prepared to respond rather then make a snap decision.

Adopt an agile approach to change management, allowing for adjustments based on shorter feedback loops. This shows your team(s) that their mental well-being is not just a one-off concern but an ongoing priority. I wrote more about this in my "Choreographic change management" article. I linked to it in a previous comment in this article and you can find it on my profile too.
