Change Agents are people who have optimistic change mindset, organizational knowledge proficiency, trustful relationships, and established their credibility to ensure change management success.

Change is the new normal; there is disruptive change and incremental change. There is the change you want and change that is forced upon you. There is a change as a response to changing external conditions and changes that are initiated because of external factors. Some change is inevitable and another change is purely elective. 

Generally speaking, the change should be viewed as an opportunity for either solving business problems or making improvements. The change agent is not a title, but the game-changing mindset, a cultivated habit and a set of differentiated capabilities to make the change and be the part of changes.

Change agent as a mindset shaper: Change behaviors often only fix the symptom via manual control, but change mindset can be more innate to make business/digital transformation happen naturally. A change agent can think out of the box, continuously evolve, adapt, and prepare for changes, motivating others to change. Digital leaders who are equipped with a changeable mindset are more comfortable with the overwhelming growth of information and continuous disruptions, uncertainty and ambiguity. They can practice critical thinking to challenge common beliefs, leverage creative thinking to explore new possibilities

There is a critical mindset that needs to change and that is the mindset of management. Change leaders as mindset shapers make influence on culture – collective mindset, can encourage and support their team to be open-minded, adapt to change timely, go further on things that are important for the business and its customers, constantly seek the better way to do things, and lead change frictionlessly.

Change agent as competency builder: Change brings both opportunities and risks, creating positive change is a joint effort, a joint responsibility, that goes beyond the inspirational change leaders and the relentless change agent. It is important to manage changes and get in the way of accepting the business facts that change is inevitable and needs to become an ongoing capability of either individuals or organizations. Learning curve is a model of the states that people who are to change will go through. Change agents help to fuse passion, rejuvenate enthusiasm, identify talent, harness skills and become a change competency builder.

Change is the collective actions to the unifying and shared goal. Change Agent is the ability to play any role and know which to play, when to make change happen and amplify change effect. It needs to involve your entire team at all levels, so every team player becomes a change agent themselves to either advocate change or develop change competency, then change is sustained. The change agent needs to build meaningful relations until you begin to look inside self to value the strength you never knew you had; ride the learning curve, set the right priority, enforce communication and have the perseverance to truly make the change happen, facilitate organizational level change efforts to achieve higher than expected performance.

Change agent as problem-solver:
Change is never for its own sake, it’s about getting out of comfort zone, breaking down the old patterns, or solving problems large or small. Usually, a change agent is a skillful problem-solver, understanding the complexity and guiding people through it; finding common ground and initiating continuous dialogues to brainstorm fresh ideas, or turn around the tough situations to solve real problems and sustain changing behaviors.

Often problem-solving is associated with human nature. The journey of complex problem-solving is thorny, with bumps and roadblocks along the way. Change Management needs to be people-centric and goal-driven, apply interdisciplinary knowledge to solve existing and emerging problems. A change agent needs to have a comprehensive understanding of change, be able to identify the root cause of a problem or the core issues of a situation in order to solve it thoroughly. The focus should include actions designed to sustain business improvement, and anchor change as a new opportunity.

Change Management is managing everything that is necessary to get people to adopt new ways of thinking and working to accelerate performance and make collective progress. Only the most advanced mindset can accelerate transformative changes; Change Agents are people who have optimistic change mindset, organizational knowledge proficiency, trustful relationships, and establish their credibility to ensure change management success.
