But BRM brings much more
to the change process…….
Expect a reduction in benefits if stakeholders…..
1 don’t believe in it
2 don’t understand it
3 don’t want it
4 don’t know why it is needed
5 don’t use it
6 think it is all about cost saving
7 resist the changes
8 are not ‘able’ to make their opinion heard
9 see no evidence that it is making a difference
10 know there are other more important things to do
11 do not value the changes
12 do not know the part they are expected to play
