Does Management of Change Apply to People and Organizations Too?
David Drerup, Operational Sustainability
Room: Galleon III
Most companies focus on Facility and Technology change with the intent to meet regulatory compliance (i.e., Process Safety, SEMS). Personnel and organizational change is the third aspect of MOC (“also known as MOOC”) that needs to be addressed yet less than 5% of companies have formalized Management of Organizational Change (MOOC). The average tenure of the workforce today is less than 3 years, and 2 years for plant managers. Enter the crisis for human capital. And most companies are focused on a compliant workforce, which means “training” is the outcome, not “competency” or real risk management and reduction.
Without effective work processes, people and organizational changes such as transfers, promotions, resignations, mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations, staffing changes, or budget revisions can impact management systems at the plant level. Management Of Organizational Change (MOOC) is your path forward to address compliance needs, manage and reduce process risks, and achieve Operational Excellence. This session will explore how to develop an effective MOOC Program (including digitization) leading to better outcomes.
