| Image | View of Sustainability |
| Director | It is the responsibility of the change manager to design the change process and direct people to comply such that the change objective is achieved as planned. |
| Navigator | The change manager designs the change process so as to best fit the conditions faced, recognizing that modifications will almost certainly need to be made en route and that the final outcome may not be as originally envisaged. |
| Caretaker | To the extent to which intended outcomes are achieved, this is primarily the result of environmental factors, not management intervention. |
| Coach | If intended outcomes are achieved, it is because the change manager has been successful in helping organizational members develop within themselves the capabilities necessary for success. |
| Interpreter | The change manager plays a central role in the development of an understanding of the meaning of outcomes, in particular with regard to what is taken as a successful resolution of the change process. |
| Nurturer | Change processes will have outcomes, but these are in continual state of flux and are largely out of the hands of managers. |
Sustaining Change
- Once implemented, change is not always embedded in an organization
- The ability to make the change “stick” indicates the long-term success of the change
- There are a number of actions that can help sustain change.

Threats to Sustainability
Ten factors that can lead to the failure of a change to be sustained (‘initiative decay’) (Buchanan et al, 2007)
The initiators and drivers of the change move on (before the change is embedded)
Accountability for the success of the change becomes diffuse
Knowledge about the new practice is lost through turnover
Old habits are imported with recruits from less dynamic organizations
The factors that were the reasons for change are no longer visible
New managers want to drive their own agenda
Those opposed to change who have ‘bided their time’ take opportunities as they emerge to undermine the change.
Implementation funding runs out.
Attention/resources shift to new priorities
People suffer ‘initiative fatigue’

Praiseworthy & Blameworthy Failures
- The failure of a change is not always a problem that needs to be solved
- A ‘productive failure’ is one which provides an organization with valuable lessons (Marks & Roberts, 1995)
- In order to learn from failures (Edmondson, 2011):
Frame the work accurately (identify the sorts of failure that may be expected)
Embrace messengers – don’t punish those who deliver news of failure.
Acknowledge limits – be open about mistakes
Invite participation – ask people to identify failures and encourage the offering of ideas
Be clear about what sort of actions are blameworthy.
