With the necessity to implement change becoming standard operating process, particularly during industrial downturns, organizations have an interest in making the change process more effective and successful. Some associations achieve this by retaining internal change experts, but many little and mid-sized organizations are facing the need to implement change for the first time. Thereis a enticement in the change process to use templates as an organizing tool, but there may be problems to this approach.
Unfortunately, as with any field of interest, many published mavens lack any real experience in the change processes for which they’re developing templates. They have theoretical data that dictates that the template will work while an organization tries to implement change, but it seems that it only works on paper or in a lab. This type of disconnect occurs often in electric circuit design when all the theory dictates that a circuit will work, but when it is built it won’t function as designed.
Templates can be useful tools if they are backed by solid research. Thereis a practice in medicine, which developed out of research, called a clinical track. Clinical pathways are tools that are used to streamline and standardise the treatment process for particular conditions that follow predictable trails. They frequently include flowcharts to help the treatment process. While clinical paths are now a prevalent feature in medication, they’re the result of a substantial amount research and probabilistic research across a selection of conditions. They were not developed out of a theory about how treatment should occur but from a research of how treatments were occurring .
A template isnot built to function in the same fashion as a clinical track, which directs at each step, but it should have come out of a similar rigorous kind of research and research. For any organization that’s looking to make use of a template, it is in the organization’s best interest to determine the source material from which the template was developed before adopting it as an organizing tool for how they will implement change.
