Change Leader Network

What is a Change Leader Network?​

​A Change Leader Network is an integral part of the Change Management Methodology at Stony Brook. It is a peer-led group of influencers and impacted users across Stony Brook who will assist in building awareness, active listening and gathering concerns, promoting buy-in, and providing support to stakeholders impacted by the project. WolfieONE Change Champions are an indispensable asset to drive and support change adoption.

Why is a Change Leader Network needed?​

• ​Promote understanding to assist employees in understanding changes, dealing with uncertainty and ambiguity as the program progresses through implementation
• Advocate positive change through face-to-face and informal communications that are required to change behaviors and attitudes​
• Build accountability and ownership by empowering Change Champions to gather feedback from stakeholders, answer questions and resolve concerns without having to wait or rely only on “formal, official” communications​
• Build a community of early adopters who value the opportunity to try out new technology first and get a chance to demonstrate their leadership skills​

Accelerate the adoption of the change by quickly disseminating timely and accurate information and build trust through communication and feedback​​
