The Organizational Change Model<\/h2>\n\n\n

The Organizational Change Model is a great framework to bring change into effect and to breathe life into any idea, any concept, any organizational culture change, and procedural change.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the framework we use at MyOutDesk:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s turn your list of ideas into existence. Pass them through this Organizational Change Model framework:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Name it<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Brand it<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Wear it<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Teach it<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Institutionalize it<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Recognize it<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The Organizational Change Model<\/span> is a helpful guide, especially for businesses looking to scale at any stage of the <\/span>7-Figure Business Roadmap<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We\u2019ll guide you through each stage and give our own examples of how we brought our philosophy of service into existence, called the MOD Movement.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

    Name it<\/h2>\n\n\n

    In this first step, you will need to name what you\u2019re trying to change in your organization.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Be specific with what you are articulating in your idea. Complete this quick exercise to find out what you\u2019re naming, below.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Complete this phrase: I want to create a(n) product\/service\/idea characterized by <\/span>_______.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Then, give the idea a name!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    —<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Example<\/b>: Here at MyOutDesk, we wanted to evolve our <\/span>organizational culture <\/span><\/i>by <\/span>extending the movement of the company\u2019s core values through charitable work. <\/span><\/i>We named this the <\/span>MOD Movement<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We are big believers in the core values of MyOutDesk \u2014 Family Table, Healthy Soil, and Servant Heart. Through the MOD Movement, employees are empowered to carry these values beyond the office, so that they can make the furthest impact possible.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Through the Organizational Change Model, MOD Movement has evolved into a nonprofit charity founded as a result of the kindness and generosity of wonderful clients and individuals working for MyOutDesk.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can learn more and also join the MOD Movement, <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/figure>\n\n\n

    Brand it<\/h2>\n\n\n

    After you \u201cname\u201d your idea, the next step is to package it nicely. Brand it!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Place the brand everywhere and anywhere you possibly can. On t-shirts, on banners, in email signatures, and anyplace else. Brand presence tells your networks the organizational change is present and is prioritized.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can also let the team or leaders decide on a creative phrase to express the idea. This new phrase will be your brand, and it will need to stick. The brand can include a phrase, a term, an image, a sentence, or a mantra \u2013 it needs a good ring to it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With a brand, your idea is now a memorable and conversational concept.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    —<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Example: <\/b>MyOutDesk\u2019s slogan is Find Talent, Match Talent, and Extend the Movement. We find the talent to match your company\u2019s needs \u2014 so that all businesses we serve can also extend the movement! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As the MOD Movement brand focuses on <\/span>#extendthemovement<\/span>, we bring the brand to all our charity work. And, by taking plenty of photos, employees of the organization and our partners can see the value of the work and find inspiration to become involved.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/figure>\n\n\n

    Wear it<\/h2>\n\n\n

    Next, all participants in the work should embody and characterize the idea or change.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You should figuratively and LITERALLY wear your brand. Update your website and social media. Make t-shirts and other swag to distribute. Plus, freebies turn any situation more exciting!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For it to succeed, the idea must be expressed regularly and outwardly. By wearing and personifying the concept, you are modeling the idea to reach as far as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Legendary CEO of General Electric in the 1980s and 1990s, Jack Welch, is a famous advocate of repeating key messages. He once shared, \u201cI realized the message was always new to someone. And so, you keep on repeating it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Your idea is now tangible and can be seen.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    —<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Example:<\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    MyOutDesk employees and clients volunteer to identify, create, and lead service projects and charity work through the MOD Movement.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The MOD Movement has been doing charitable work since 2013. One project of the MOD Movement is an annual day of giving at the Boystown Orphanage. In the photo, below, a Boystown child is wearing an #extendthemovement backpack!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/figure>\n\n\n

    Teach it<\/h2>\n\n\n

    Your idea begins to spread tremendously in this stage. You must teach it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When you talk about the idea for enough time, and when you teach it intentionally and consistently, you will allow all questions answered and get everybody on the same page.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Realize that this is a slow process, but a generative one. In this time, you will learn to give concrete feedback, backed by your best intentions. This learning stage might present mixed emotions, and these experiences are always best supported when leaders are bringing positive praise and fostering two-way communication.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    —<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Example:<\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We showcase and teach about the MOD Movement through both internal and external communications channels and through social media.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Institutionalize it<\/h2>\n\n\n
