Voici comment vous pouvez lutter contre la résistance au changement dans l’approvisionnement des fournisseurs.

Create the environment that energises change not for changes sake, but because failing to recognise the environment and market is changing all the time is using convenient blinkers and indulging inertia. If you are unrealistic about changes and fail to keep pace you will fail overall.

I disagree with some of the context. In my experience, most people fear change for many . In order to overcome fear of change or the unknown it’s imperative to put aside past or future, thinking experiences and stay in the present. We must look at all change objectively without bringing any previous changes that may perhaps have been negative and realize they were all learning . I am a firm believer you can have reasonable fear; however still move forward keeping that emotion in perspective. And each time you overcome a fear it strengthens your confidence, reduces fear while creating new neuropathways in your brain. Ultimately, you will I find comfort in the uncomfortable. The KEY is always proactive self education.

To tackle resistance to change in supplier sourcing, start by clearly communicating the benefits and necessity of the change. Involve key stakeholders early in the process to gain their support and address concerns. Provide training and resources to ease the transition. Highlight quick wins and successes to build momentum. Foster an open culture where feedback is encouraged, and ensure consistent, transparent communication throughout. This approach helps build trust and smooth the path for successful change implementation.

I have always made sure I was proactive in self education. In being 100% educated in all environments enables one to convey concise, clear information. I have also found delivery & leadership are KEY! You must practice what you preach and lead by example not by force. Provide an environment where anyone is able to ask questions, be humble, remain teachable & excel.

This is something I’ve seen time again many companies, lack of authentic direct communication and education. The more communication, the more education, the more collaboration will always result in the best outcome. Remember, it’s always in the delivery and setting the atmosphere. One of humility and comfort. Nobody knows everything.

This is again something I have seen throughout my almost 30 year career lack of authentic direct communication and education. When if there’s a breakdown in those two constructs, you will almost likely have a much higher fear based attitude amongst employees, colleagues stakeholders etc… AUTHENTIC COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY AND FOUNDATION TO ALMOST EVERYTHING. Along with the delivery of the communication. I believe it’s imperative to always create atmosphere of comfortability humility rather than the “do as I say” or the prideful “I know it all approach. no one likes a preacher, but everyone loves a teacher.

This stage is crucial if above said atmosphere is created from the beginning. It will be very challenging to get honest feedback. Particularly if people feel like they’re going to be embarrassed or shamed, which is the true root fear. An open environment, where feedback is welcomed negative or positive is of utmost importance at this stage

Ultimately success is tied to communication. As the above article points out, communicating the “why” and the “how” along with “who” is responsible for the change is critical. You will get buy in and subsequently improve the project momentum by communicating the path to success, as well as progress along that path. This way, everyone will be pulling in the same direction.

I have found that all of the approaches mentioned are important and all should be done but I would remain adamant that early involvement is the cornerstone to avoiding resistance wether from a supplier / customer/ internally. Avoid the shock effect whenever thinking of change management

Engage early, engage constantly, let everyone contribute something ....leading to coherence ....that leads to the emergence of something new and innovative!
